BTS Jin Dominates Global Charts; MY1PICK Stays at No. 1 for 90 Consecutive Weeks, Wins International Hit Song Award in Brazil

BTS Jin continues to dominate both domestic and international charts, demonstrating his unparalleled influence as a solo artist. He has held the top spot in the MY1PICK K-pop individual weekly ranking for 90 consecutive weeks, amassing 9,167,583 hearts during the voting period for the second week of November (November 9–16). This streak began in the fifth week of February last year, extending his reign at the top of the monthly ranking for 22 months and his position on the K-pop solo MY1PICK chart for 19 months. He also receives overwhelming support in various themed polls. In the “Which idol can inspire me on exam day?” poll held from November 11 to 17, he secured first place with 4,359 votes—accounting for 80% of all votes cast. He further solidified his status by winning first place in multiple other themed polls, including “Talented artist who can back me up,” “Smart and stylish star,” “Star who seems like a princess or prince from a past life,” and “Top star for advertising campaigns,” thus proving his broad appeal and versatility.

Jin’s solo song “Don’t Say You Love Me” is also gaining significant international popularity. On November 18 (local time), the song received the “International Hit of the Year” award at the “BreakTudo Awards 2025” held in São Paulo, Brazil. It outperformed hit songs by global pop artists such as Tate McRae, ROSÉ, KATSEYE’s “Gabriela,” and Gracie Abrams’ “I Love You, I’m Sorry” to claim the trophy. The BreakTudo Awards is a prominent Brazilian entertainment award show that has been held since 2016, covering all aspects of entertainment including music, broadcasting, and digital content. Winners are determined through global fan voting, and the awards are regarded as an important indicator of trends in the Latin American music market. “Don’t Say You Love Me” is the title track from Jin’s second mini-album, *Echo*, a soft R&B-pop song characterized by its retro-inspired gentle sound and emotional melody. Since its release, it has received explosive worldwide response, breaking through 600 million streams on Spotify—the fastest record for any K-pop song in 2025. Its chart performance is equally impressive, with it entering the Billboard “HOT 100” at position 90, marking Jin’s third solo entry on the chart. It has also remained on the Global 200 chart and the global chart excluding the United States for 18 consecutive weeks, showing sustained success. This award in Brazil—a market traditionally dominated by Latin pop and reggaeton—reflects Jin’s musical growth and expanding global influence.

Through his solo albums, global tours, and appearances on various shows, Jin has consistently demonstrated his multifaceted appeal and established a strong unique brand in the global music industry. He has also won awards at domestic ceremonies; at the “2025 Korea Grand Music Awards,” he received the Best Music Video award for “Don’t Say You Love Me.” With these diverse awards and chart achievements both domestically and internationally, Jin has once again proven his musical talent as a K-pop solo artist and continues to expand his influence on stages around the world.
