Jimin and Sungwoon's 'With You' set numerous records on its first day and the first week of release. No platform was spared, recording unprecedented achievements on big and popular music buying, streaming, and discovery platforms, including Apple Music, Spotify, iTunes, Oricon, Billboard, Melon, QQ Music, Shazam, and many other country-based charts, as previously reported. This momentum was maintained in its second week as well, with the song recording three different records on different Billboard charts for its second week.
For starters, having debuted on Billboard's Hot Trending Songs chart at #2 with only four days and 10 hours of tracking in its first week, the song now rose to the top of this chart in its second week.
It became the 4th song to hit #1 since the chart's inception, with the previous three songs that hit #1 being group songs.
By ranking first on this chart, Jimin wrote history as the first and only artist to hit #1 on the chart both as a soloist and as a group.
In addition, he and Sungwoon became the first soloists to reach #1 on the chart since its inception.
'With You' earned the Hot Trending Song crown rightfully. The song has already been used in more than 100,000 videos on TikTok, amassing more than 71 million views and 13 million likes. Similarly, on Instagram, the song is already a trending sound and has become the most used BTS audio in 2022, achieving this in only two weeks!
On the Billboard Global 200 charts, 'With You' has also set new records as the highest K-drama OST to ever chart both on the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global 200 (excl. US) in its second week of release, ranking #109 and #71 on both charts respectively.
These new records are commendable achievements as it has become increasingly difficult to achieve such results with the recent changes to Billboard rules, yet 'With You,' being an unpromoted track, has still managed to accomplish this.
In addition, 'With You' ranked 4th on Vietnam's Billboard Hot 100 chart for this week, again claiming yet another record as the highest K-drama OST to ever chart in the second week of its release.
It also becomes the first-ever K-drama to rank in the top 5 of the chart for two weeks.
'With You' is truly a beautifully made song, and coupling this with its moving lyrics and honey vocals of the artists, it will for sure continue to set new records on different platforms even as time passes.
Congratulations, Jimin and Sungwoon!
Congratulations to record maker Park Jimin!
