'With You' by Jimin and Sungwoon surpasses 130 Million streams on Spotify and sees popularity in the Middle East and media outlets worldwide
'With You' continues its streak as the most successful and popular Korean OST of the year. Its sterling performance also illustrates the public's eagerness for Jimin's career as a solo artist and performer.
It is for this reason that the song has started gaining popularity in the Middle East. On the 29th of August, the Middle East and North Africa's official Netflix Instagram account featured 'With You' as the OST that stuck into our heads along with two other songs. They mentioned that Jimin, who has one of the most beautiful vocals, used his angelic voice to set the scene's atmosphere.
It's true that Jimin's vocals on the song have received a lot of acclaim for being a big contributing factor to its success. In June, Genius Korea listed 'With You' highest among all BTS member OSTs at #3 as the Best OSTs of 2022 thus far, all thanks to Jimin and Sungwoon's delicate and angelic vocal delivery as well as harmonization.
The song has graced radio stations and reality shows in Korea and abroad. 'With You' was even voted for the second time #1 as the favorite 'K-POP Top 3 Songs' on Kuwait's Marina FM's segment #OnceAweekFm as announced on the 28th and 20th of August. This is the first and largest private radio station in Kuwait.
Along with these, 'With You' was also spotlighted by Yamyam Entertainment in a Community post on YouTube, where they listed it as their Best OST of 2022 so far. The post discussed its global records as the representative OST for Korea and its achievement of 127 Million streams on Spotify in the shortest period on the 26th.
Presently the OST is pressing forward on streaming platforms; on the 31st, it surpassed 130 Million streams on Spotify as the fastest Korean OST to achieve the feat in history, 128 days and 10 hours. On YouTube, the MV now has 24 Million views with a total of 27 Million streams aggregated for all its version on the platform. It has 350K Shazams, and on Melón, it remains in the Top 100 with 35.6 Million streams and 1.2 Million ULs. As of the 20th of August, it amassed well over 100 Million digital points on the Circle chart, among other achievements.
Congratulations Jimin!! 👏🎊
