Nearly five months after its release, BTS’s Jimin’s latest solo hit is still going strong on Billboard’s Hot 100!

For the week ending on December 14, Jimin’s solo song “Who”—which initially debuted at No. 14 on the Hot 100 back in July—climbed back up to No. 47 on the chart.

“Who” has now spent 20 weeks in a row on the Hot 100, making it only the second K-pop solo song in history (after PSY’s legendary 2012 hit “Gangnam Style”) to chart for 20 consecutive weeks.

Outside of the Hot 100, “Who” re-entered Billboard’s Digital Song Sales chart at No. 13 this week, marking its seventh non-consecutive week on the chart. The song also stayed strong at No. 23 on the Global Excl. U.S. chart, No. 24 on the Global 200, and No. 35 on the Streaming Songs chart in its 20th week on all three charts.

Meanwhile, Jimin’s solo album “MUSE” has become only the second album by a Korean solo artist ever to spend 20 weeks on the Billboard 200 (following his bandmate Jungkook’s solo debut album “GOLDEN,” which charted for 24 weeks last year). In its 20th consecutive week on the chart, “MUSE” climbed back up to No. 114.

“MUSE” also rose to No. 5 in its 20th week on Billboard’s World Albums chart, while Jimin jumped to No. 70 on the Artist 100—marking his 30th overall week on the chart as a soloist.

Congratulations to Jimin!
