BTS’s Jimin’s “Who” Becomes First K-POP Song to Reach 450 Million Streams on Spotify in the U.S.

“The Who,” the Title Track from BTS’s Jimin’s second solo album *MUSE*, has set a historic milestone as the first K-POP song on Spotify’s U.S. chart. It has accumulated 450 million streams (after filtering) on that chart, marking the first and only such record for K-POP.

“The Who” currently ranks 81st on Spotify’s list of songs with the most streams in U.S. history, which is the highest position ever achieved by a K-POP song. Last November, Jimin became the first and only K-POP artist to reach over 600 million cumulative streams on Spotify’s U.S. chart, continuing to break records as the most successful K-POP artist on that platform.

The significance of “The Who” lies in the fact that it is the first and only K-POP solo song to top Spotify’s U.S. “Daily Top Song” chart without collaborating with any international famous artists. As of December 28, 2025, it was recorded as the first and only K-POP song to remain on Spotify’s U.S. chart for 500 days, and as of the January 18 chart update, it has continued to be listed for 521 days.

On the Weeekly Top Song chart as well, Jimin holds the record for the longest consecutive presence at 75 weeks, further extending the record for the longest run by a K-POP solo song on both charts. His outstanding performance on Spotify’s U.S. chart, which boasts the largest user base, is regarded as evidence of K-POP artists’ global competitiveness.
