Jimin has proven his power and influence as a solo artist time and again, both when he was still performing solo songs under BTS' discography (Filter, Lie, Serendipity) and now when he is promoting as a solo act (With You), even though he is yet to make an official solo debut. All his solo songs or songs credited to him hold different records on major music buying and/or streaming platforms, as reported previously, demonstrating his mind-blowing potential as well as impact in the industry.
This enviable influence can be seen from how the public is consuming his music, especially looking at his latest release and first-ever individual project under his own name, "With You," which was an OST collaboration with his close friend Ha Sungwoon, for the hit Korean drama 'Our Blues.' Notably, this is the only song under Jimin's profile on Spotify (the biggest music streaming platform in the world), along with its instrumental version.
As of December 26, with just this single release, Jimin surpassed 200 million streams on his Spotify account, becoming the Fastest Asian Male Solo Artist and the Only Korean Male Artist to reach this feat with just one song in Spotify's history, taking only 244 days and 10 hours.
Jimin's Spotify account was also the Fastest Korean Male account to surpass 100 million and 150 million streams on the platform, as previously documented.
Presently, the "With You" single has exceeded 186 million streams on Spotify, extending its record as the Fastest Korean OST to reach this milestone in the platform's history.
Jimin's older songs which were released under BTS' discography, are also continuing to set new records and extend existing ones, a show of his consistency as a powerhouse in the Korean music industry.
"Filter," released in 2020 under the 'MOTS:7' album by BTS, has continued to extend several of its records held on Spotify South Korea. As of December 27, it exceeded 2.2 million streams on Spotify South Korea and thereby extended its records as the #1 song among the most-streamed solo songs by boy groups on the platform and the #1 most-streamed B-side track on Spotify South Korea. It is also the longest-charting solo song by a boy group and the longest-charting B-side on Spotify South Korea.
Jimin shows his impact even with B-side tracks, which usually get no promotions in an album release!
"With You" also ranked first among the most streamed OSTs and 2nd among the most streamed K-pop songs on Spotify South Korea in 2022!
These amazing records extend to Melon, another major music streaming and downloading platform for South Korea. Another of Jimin's older songs, "Lie," released in 2016 in the 'WINGS' and "YNWA" albums by BTS, has now surpassed 44 million combined streams from both albums, remaining to be the Most Streamed solo song from both of these albums. 'Lie' is also the most streamed solo song from 'WINGS' on Spotify and is the only song from the album to have sold over 500k units in the US!
Such an impressive performance with unpromoted tracks is nothing short of an indication that Jimin will undoubtedly make history with his first official solo album.
