Jin is in the Top 10 Best Selling Albums by a Male Act in K-pop in 2022 + owns 7% of Hybe's yearly sales with just one single

Right now, "The Astronaut" by Jin is the 2nd best-selling solo album of this decade (the best-seller of all time was Kim Gun Mo in 1995, with 3.3M copies sold). Jin is 100,000 albums away from surpassing the latest album of the king of trot, Lim Young-woong. Currently, he is the only soloist nominated in the Artist of the Year (Physical Album) category at the Circle (Gaon) Chart Awards. And in the Digital Album category as well. He is the only one competing with full-length albums.

He was charting in the Top 2 of best-sellers on Hanteo and Circle for weeks. And became the first foreign artist to top the Oricon sales chart in Japan in the past 11 years, with 100k+ sales in a week. Jin is also the first soloist to spend 3 weeks at #1 on the Billboard World Digital Sales Chart. He has already spent 7 weeks on the said chart as of now.

Right now, Jin's sales in the USA and Europe still haven't been added in the Circle (Gaon) counter. However, he still managed to become the fastest soloist to reach 1M sales and the first to get a 1,000,000 Circle (Gaon) Certification for a Single Album. According to the year-end statistics, Jin is in the Top 10 of the Best Selling Male Artists in 2022 at Circle (Gaon)! He is only the 2nd soloist on the list and the only one with just a single song. His album also has only two versions!

Another interesting piece of information from the year-end statistics is that Jin already owns 7% of Hybe's total yearly sales! He is the only soloist among the best-selling artists of Hybe. Moreover, other artists have multiple full-length albums combined into the total percentage, but Jin has only one 1-month-old song! Very impressive!
