BTS's Jimin sets a new record as 'Filter' becomes his third solo song to be eligible for RIAA Gold Certification in the US
Jimin is an exceptional vocalist and performer, which is why all his solo songs under the BTS discography keep reaching new heights and setting new records every other day, even though they are, in fact, B-side tracks with no promotions.
Data reports on music sales in the US market, which is the largest music market in the world, indicate that Jimin's latest solo song under BTS, 'Filter,' has now sold over 500k units in the US. This is Jimin's third solo song to be eligible for RIAA Gold Certification in the US by crossing this mark in unit sales. It is also the first solo song from the MOTS:7 album, the fourth BTS solo song whereby three out of the four are his, and the 14th BTS B-side track overall to achieve this feat.
'Lie' was his first solo song to record this feat, as reported on February 11th, being the very first song from BTS' 'Wings' album to have such an achievement. 'Serendipity' (Full Length Edition) was second to reach the same milestone as reported on March 3, making Jimin the first and only Korean soloist to have two songs with over 500k units sold in the US. Come March 19th, with the news of 'Filter' crossing the same mark in US sales, Jimin has now broken his own record to become the FIRST and ONLY Korean soloist to have three songs with more than 500k unit sales in the US.
Fans are over the moon celebrating Jimin's achievements and praising him as a 'one of a kind' artist for his remarkable performance, even without an official solo debut. Jimin is making records on the largest music market in the world as a soloist purely with unpromoted B-side tracks, and nothing could speak to his talent and level of artistry more than this. It is unimaginable how far he can reach with a solo debut and full promotions. Here are some reactions from fans to this pleasant news.
The celebrations saw various tags enter Twitter trends as fans sent their congratulatory messages to Jimin. Tags like JIMIN RECORD MAKER, JIMIN HIT MAKER, and #Filter500kUnits became trending topics on Twitter in no time.
The day jimin will debut as a soloist he will become the biggest Korean artist ever! He’s so loved and well respected for his music and talents, he got the best music taste indeed!
