Jimin and Sungwoon's 'With You' has been on a record-breaking spree ever since its release just over three weeks ago. From global to domestic major music buying and streaming platforms including iTunes, Melon, Spotify, Apple Music, Oricon, QQ Music, and more. The OST set impressive new records on its debut day and debut week and is continuing to do so to date as more people discover and fall in love with the song.
Having already registered the highest first hour likes and unique listeners on Melon among all the songs sang by BTS members, only behind the group's 'My Universe' [read here], 'With You' has now become the fastest Korean OST by a BTS member to surpass 10 million streams in the platform's history, a feat that it achieved on May 18th.
As of May 20th, the song had accrued 10.4 million streams with 591.8k unique listeners and remained to be the highest-charting OST from 'Our Blues' drama, and on May 21st, the stream count rose to 11.1 million with 637.1k unique listeners.
On Billboard's weekly Hot Trending Songs chart, 'With You' made its debut at 2nd place with only four days and 10 hours of tracking for its first week and later rose to 1st place in its second week. As such, it became the fourth song to ascend to the first position on the chart since its inception.
With 2 out of the three other songs that have placed first on the chart being BTS songs, Jimin became the first and only artist to ever rank first on this chart both as a soloist and with a group [read here].
For the third tracking week, 'With You' maintained its crown on the chart at #1 and saw Jimin extend his record as the first and only artist to reach #1 on this chart both as a soloist and with a group for two consecutive weeks.
The song has also shown strong performance on the Gaon weekly chart, having made the highest debut for a Korean OST by a BTS member on the chart's Digital, BGM, and BELL categories [read here] and ranking in all the six categories of the chart.
As reported by K-media, the song has now risen to a new peak of #71 on the Gaon Streaming chart from the previous #92 and has also ranked in all the six categories of the chart, making it the 3rd consecutive week for the song to rank in all the categories of the chart.

Congratulations Jimin, so proud of you.
