BTS members continue to solidify their global dominance as Jimin's solo album, "MUSE," continues to climb international charts.
According to the Official Charts Company, Jimin's title track "Who" surged 59 spots to number 5 on the UK Official Singles Chart, marking the biggest jump in the chart this week. This is also the highest ranking for the song since it debuted at number 4 last August.
The song's success extended to other sub-charts, including number 8 on the Official Audio Streaming Chart and number 11 on the Official Singles Streaming Chart.
Additionally, the collaboration between V and Bing Crosby, "White Christmas (with V of BTS)," continued to perform well. The track re-entered the Official Physical Singles Chart at number 71 and remained on the Singles Sales Chart at number 74 and the Singles Downloads Chart at number 80.
On Spotify, Jimin's "Who" maintained its strong performance, ranking at number 5 on the Weekly Top Songs Global chart for the 25th consecutive week. Other BTS members' solo tracks, including V and Park Hyo Shin's "Winter Ahead," Jin's "Running Wild," and Jungkook's "Seven (feat. Latto)," also ranked within the top 100.
In the Weekly Top Albums Global chart, Jimin's "MUSE," Jungkook's "GOLDEN," and Jin's "Happy - :') (Remixes)" ranked at numbers 15, 43, and 91, respectively. BTS's anthology album "Proof" ranked at number 34, while their 2018 repackage album "Love Yourself 結 'Answer'" re-entered the chart at number 193.
Meanwhile, BTS's fourth studio album, "MAP OF THE SOUL : 7," released in 2020, was named one of the 250 Greatest Albums of the 21st Century So Far by Rolling Stone. BTS is the only Korean act to make the list.
Rolling Stone praised BTS's ability to maintain their sound and style while successfully penetrating the US market. The magazine described "MAP OF THE SOUL : 7" as an album inspired by the psychology of Nietzsche and Jung, highlighting tracks such as "Interlude: Shadow," "Black Swan," "Friends," and "Moon."
