Jimin of BTS shatters glass ceiling as first Korean Soloist to Claim #1 Spot on US Billboard Chart

Jimin is the first South Korean solo artist to reach No. 1 on the Billboard list after BTS became the first South Korean group to top the Hot 100 with their hit song “Dynamite.” “Gangnam Style,” PSY previously peaked at No. 2 in 2012. Jimin will become the first South Korean solo artist to top the Billboard Hot 100 Songs ranking thanks to his smash hit song “Like Crazy,” according to reports. The synth-pop song dethroned Miley Cyrus’ popular song “Flowers,” which had held the top position for eight weeks.

The track was made available on Jimin’s first solo album FACE on March 24, and it debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 albums list

The track was made available on Jimin’s first solo album FACE on March 24, and it debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 albums list. In its first week, “Like Crazy” sold over 254,000 CD singles and music downloads, according to Billboard. Additionally, between March 24 and March 30, it allegedly received 10 million streams and 64,000 radio airplay audience impressions. There were five copies of the song available during the chart’s tracking week, and sales were the primary factor in the track’s Hot 100 debut.

The song’s Korean original, along with the English translation, were both published on March 24. On March 26, the Deep House and UK Garage mix as well as an instrumental rendition were released. On Billboard, all variants are combined into one listing.
