Posted by pjms_gina54,688 pts Tuesday, May 16, 2023
The weekly music charts for the eighth week since Jimin released his pre-release track 'Set Me Free Pt.2' followed by his album 'FACE' a week later, have been published. As expected, the record-breaking solo artist is still raising the bar even higher as he continues registering new records on some of the major music charts in the top music market in the world, the USA. One such chart is the Billboard Artist 100, one of the primary and highly competitive music charts in the US.
After having already made history a few weeks ago as the first Korean soloist to hit #1 on the Billboard Artist 100 chart, for this newly revealed weekly ranking, Jimin spent his 8th week on the chart, thus extending his record from last week's achievement as the first and only Korean soloist to spend now 8 consecutive weeks on this chart (from 7 last week). This also makes him the longest-charting Korean soloist in the chart's history, having broken the tie of 7 weeks with his bandmate RM.
When it comes to album and singles pure sales in the same market, Jimin is maintaining a high status in a league of his own.
According to statistics on music sales in the USA, he remains the highest-selling Korean solo artist in pure album sales for 2023.
His album 'FACE' is overall the 5th best-selling album in pure sales in the USA this year, among all albums released by all artists in general. He has managed to break into the top 5 best-sellers in the entire country of a highly competitive music market even though the album is less than two months old, which is wildly impressive!
While considering only album releases by K-pop acts, 'FACE' is the 3rd best-selling album this year among all K-pop album releases (by group and solo acts combined).
Looking at sales for his lead single 'Like Crazy,' the song currently ranks second among the best-selling downloads in the USA this year in general, but remains the best-selling download among Korean soloists in the USA this year.
In other news, Circle chart officiallycertified Jimin as a million-seller on the platform with his album 'FACE,' and he remains to be the best-selling male solo artist on the platform this year.
