As previously reported, Jimin achieved a noteworthy milestone in the American music scene, specifically on the Billboard Hot 100 – the primary singles chart in the United States. He has now debuted four songs on this prestigious chart within a span of only four months, surpassing the previous record held by his own group, BTS, that was set at eleven months. [read here]

A debut on the Billboard Hot 100 is a significant achievement for any artist, as the chart is a reputable measure of a song's acceptance among the public. It provides a comprehensive assessment of a song's success in the music market by considering its streaming numbers across various platforms, radio airplay, and song sales within the U.S market.

Jimin's collaborative piece, 'Angel Pt.1', with artists NLE Choppa, JVKE, Kodak Black, and Muni Long, made a stellar entrance on the Hot 100 chart, boasting the week's highest sales score, as it clinched the #1 spot on the Billboard Digital Song Sales chart.

This achievement has further cemented Jimin's prominence in his solo career. With this, he stands as the sole artist to have attained three #1 hits on the Digital Song Sales chart in 2023 – the highest for any artist this year, surpassing his previous record tied with Nicki Minaj and Agust D, each having two #1 songs.

Furthermore, Jimin has extended his record as the Korean solo artist with the most #1 hits on this chart, surpassing his previous tie with Agust D/Suga, each having held three #1 songs.

'Angel Pt.1' also peaked at #1 on the Billboard Rap Digital Song Sales Chart and the R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales Chart, earning Jimin his very first #1 onto both charts.

The song also ranked #1 on Billboard Japan's Hot Overseas Songs Chart and debuted on numerous other Billboard charts as shown below.

Jimin's solo career success particularly in the USA is one that warrants praise, especially since he has achieved more than any Korean solo artist or even Korean act in some cases, has ever achieved, with minimal time and little to no promotion in the USA.

Expectations for him were already high before his album release due to how highly respected he is as an artist in the industry, but the expectations are now even higher for his future releases!
