Since their official release back in March 24, Jimin's hit single 'Like Crazy' and the album 'FACE' have constantly been making headlines for the numerous historical streaming and sales records that they achieved on different music buying and streaming platforms globally.
Jimin has especially recorded numerous records on major music platforms such as the world's largest music streaming platform, Spotify, as well as on the Billboard charts. Entry onto these charts is one of the top metrics that would make a song/album be considered as a successful release, and Jimin is absolutely dominating these charts, as detailed below.
As of the Spotify update on October 9, Jimin had spent 190 days on Spotify Global Daily Top Artists chart, making him the first Korean/K-pop solo artistin history to ever stay on this chart for this long. This chart ranks the top 200 most streamed artists around the world on the platform each day, and Jimin has managed to rank among such top artist for this long without any promotions or the help of playlists, a feat that can only be dreamt of by many.
Jimin has been able to keep ranking on the Global Daily Top Artists chart for this long because of the consistently high volume of streams from his single 'Like Crazy' as well as his full album 'FACE' in general.
As of Oct 9, 'Like Crazy' had spent 200 days on Spotify Global Daily Top Songs chart, becoming the first solo song by a Korean solo artist in history to ever stay on this chart for this long. This chart ranks the top 200 most streamed songs globally on the platform each day, and 'Like Crazy' is the longest charting solo song by a Korean soloist on the chart, not to mention it has always ranked in the top 100 most streamed songs worldwide in each of these 200 days despite not having any playlists or ads.
Summing up the song's streams, it is now the 13th most streamed song released in 2023 on the platform, achieving this in just 6 months!
'Like Crazy' has also been ranking on the weekly billboard charts, including the Global 200 and Global (Excl. US) charts, never departing from the charts since the official release.
As of the latest updates, the song has now spent 28 weeks on both charts, which is the first time that a solo song by a Korean solo artist reaches this feat. In both cases, it extended its record as the longest charting solo song by a Korean solo artist and the third longest charting song by a Korean soloist overall on the said charts.
Similarly, 'FACE' has also been on the Billboard World Albums chart for 28 weeks as well, a first for any album by a Korean/K-pop solo artist. It thus extended its record as the longest charting album by a Korean/K-pop soloist on the chart.
