On December 26th, reports from different media outlets stated that TikTok had overtaken Google to become the most-visited website on the internet. This would mean that any content on the site, be it videos or the music used in the videos, would have a higher chance of reaching a wider audience, hence increasing its popularity and therefore an artist's exposure.

During the festive season, as more and more web traffic was directed at the site, it emerged that five of Jimin's songs were now labeled as 'popular' sounds on the platform, four of which are solo songs (Filter, Serendipity, Promise, & Christmas Love)and the fifth a sub-unit song which he self-wrote, composed and produced (Friends).

This is even more impressive considering the fact that two of the songs were only recently added as official sounds to the platform. 'Christmas Love' was reported to have been added on December 19th and 'Promise' on December 23rd, yet they were already popular sounds by December 24th.

The rise of many of his songs to the 'popular' status is a show of how much his voice is attractive and enchanting to any listener. 

In fact, with the increasing popularity of TikTok, even big and reputable award shows have included new categories because of the change in how people consume music. It is not just streaming and sales anymore, but also how much the sound is used on TikTok, which helps to determine the popularity of a song among the general public. 

For example, the 2021 AMAs had the category for 'Favorite Trending Song' particularly to reflect which song had high popularity/demand on TikTok and therefore among the general public. With this context, it is clear how big of a deal it is for Jimin as an artist, for his songs/sounds to be ranked as popular on TikTok. It shows that his angelic and captivating voice is in high demand among the general public.

As of December 29th, 'Filter' was Jimin's most used track/sound, and also the most used solo song from the Map of the Soul:7 album, as well as the 8th most used official BTS sound. Moreover, it is the only solo song in the Top 15 most used official BTS sounds on the platform.

Meanwhile, Jimin's hashtag on TikTok (#jimin) has now surpassed 82 Billion views as of January 3rd, remaining to be the second most-viewed individual hashtag on the platform. There are at least 11 hashtags associated with him on the platform, all having accumulated views in the billions.

Congratulations Jimin!
