'With You' by Jimin and Sungwoon earns entries on official music charts in 6 of the biggest music markets in the world
It cannot be emphasized enough just how much of an impact Jimin's highly anticipated individual project with Sungwoon had, going by the song's performance on various domestic and international music platforms and charts, even though its date and time of release put it at a significant disadvantage due to a much shorter tracking day and tracking week. Nevertheless, with only 10 hours of tracking for the debut day and four days and 10 hours of tracking for the debut week, 'With You' still triumphed and set new impressive records on big music buying and streaming platforms like Melon, Apple Music, Spotify, iTunes and even on the music discovery platform Shazam as previously reported.
The achievements did not end there, 'With You' also posted big achievements on other charts across the world in countries such as the US, India, UK, New Zealand, Canada, South Korea, Japan, and China, some of which are ranked among the ten biggest music markets in the world according to IFPI (International Federation of the Phonographic Industry), which is the industry's global body for recorded music. Data collected at the end of 2021 by IFPI ranked the following countries as the Top 10 music markets globally.
'With You' managed to enter the official singles charts in 6 of these countries' charts as well as on other countries and global charts.
In the US, the #1 biggest music market globally, 'With You' ranked 1st on the Billboard Digital Song Sales Chart and also posted the highest debut for a K-drama OST by ranking 19th on the Billboard Global 200 chart and 14th on the Billboard Global 200 (excl. US) chart.
In Canada, being another of the countries counted among the ten biggest music markets globally and ranked at #8 on this list, the song took the fourth position on the country's Billboard Digital Sales Chart, making it the highest-charting Asian song of 2022.
In the UK, which is yet another country whose music market is ranked at #3 among the top 10 biggest music markets globally, 'With You' ranked #32 on the country's Official Radio Big 40 chart.
In South Korea, whose music market ranks 7th among the top 10 biggest music markets globally, it ranked first on the Genius Korea K-drama OST Chart for the month of April 2022, and it was the #1 trend on Naver's 'Music Most People are Looking for' section.
With just an hour of tracking in Japan, the 2nd largest music market globally, 'With You' ranked 3rd on Oricon's Digital Singles Daily chart and 20th on the Weekly Digital Singles chart.
With just 2 hours of streaming in China, which is ranked 6th among the biggest global music markets, the song and its instrumental version also ranked 1st and 2nd on the QQ Music chart on the US Hot Music Chart section.
In India, 'With You' ranked fifth on the IMI International Top 20 Singles chart, making it the highest debut for a K-drama OST in the history of this chart.
In New Zealand, the song landed at position 13 on the country's Hot 40 Singles Weekly Chart, a chart that ranks the hottest songs in the country based on airplay, streams, and sales.
As evidenced from these chart entries, the song's global reception was exceptional, and it could definitely have registered much higher chart positions on all these charts were it to have a full week of tracking. Jimin and Sungwoon's duet has performed amazingly well, and fans could not be more proud of them.
Congratulations Jimin! So proud of you!
