Jin's 'The Astronaut' Achieves Impressive Milestone with 200,000 Units Sold in the USA

On April 1, Jin's hit song 'The Astronaut' achieved a remarkable milestone, selling 200,000 units in the USA. This is a significant achievement for the artist as it is his fastest song to reach this impressive milestone.

In Jin's discography, there are 3 tracks that surpassed 200k units sold: 'Moon,' 'Awake,' and 'The Astronaut.' Meanwhile, 'Epiphany' is very close to reaching 500k sales. Jin's first solo OST 'Yours' is at 100k units sold right now. Overall, the artist has already sold 1.5 million units in the USA.

The solo single performed great globally and demonstrated an exceptional success on the USA charts.

Jin is set to make history by becoming the soloist with the longest-charting record on the Billboard World Digital Songs Sales chart, with the incoming 13th week in the Top 10 of the chart. Furthermore, he holds the title of the only soloist to stay at the #1 spot for 3 consecutive weeks on the said chart.

Despite being a surprise release with just nine days of notice, Jin's solo single made it to the Top 5 of the best-selling digital tracks of 2022, surpassing the sales of his own group (44k). Despite being released during the most competitive week of the year, 'The Astronaut' peaked at an impressive #51 on the Hot100 chart. This was the highest score for a solo debut at the time and also the highest first appearance on the Billboard Hot100 chart for any K-pop artist in history.

To this day, Jin holds the record for accumulating the most points on Billboard Hot 100 as a solo artist (between 112 and 94 points). 

Jin also holds the record of the biggest sales for a K-pop solo act on the Billboard Global chart, with 62k sales. His single spent five weeks on the Global 200 Ex: US chart and four weeks on the Global 200 chart.

Jin's eagerly awaited first solo album will only be released after his military discharge. However, despite this, the surprise single he prepared for fans by his own means in a span of just two months has achieved incredible success, competing with large-scale solo debuts and comebacks.
