#TheAstronaut by #Jin achieves great success in the large music markets of the UK and Japan
It's been a week since the release of 'The Astronaut' by Jin. He wrote this song together with Coldplay, curating every single step. The song became a great success that keeps breaking records every single day. Sadly, the promotion has been paused since the start of the mourning in Korea. There's still more content to be released soon.
It performed amazingly on the global scene despite the huge competition with Taylor Swift's album, Drake's album, and Rihanna's new song. 'The Astronaut' topped the US iTunes chart in less than 1.5 hours, topped the sales charts, and got over 500k streams in a day there. The Billboard charts will be published in a few days.

Meanwhile, Jin is breaking records in the other two largest music markets in the world - the UK and Japan. 'The Astronaut' debuted at #61 on the UK Official Singles Chart, bagging the highest debut for a Korean solo song. It also tied for the highest debut on the UK Official Singles Sales and Download Chart (#2). Even Jin's unofficial releases, such as 'Abyss,' 'Tonight,' debuted on the UK charts. 'The Astronaut' also reached #1 on the UK iTunes chart on the first day of the release.

It’s actually a really good song. I’m a fan but wouldn’t call myself army and I was not sure what to expect since I don’t know much about each individuals voice but I was not expecting this. Not only is it arranged well but the vocals are great and the meaning just 😭
