On October 7, it was announced that BTS member Jimin's solo track "Filter" rose to the top for the first time on the Billboard World Digital Song Sales Chart, making it the group's record-extending 23rd number one hit.

Additionally, it is the highest-charting solo song from BTS's fourth studio album "Map of the Soul: 7". It is the first song from the album to hit number one.
This is not the first time "Filter" has broken records. It was previously reported that "Filter" set the record as the first solo song from "Map of the Soul: 7" to surpass over 200 million digital points on the Gaon Charts. It is also the most-streamed solo song from all of the songs from the "Map of the Soul" era, with nearly 88 million streams.
