 BTS Jimin occupies the U.S. Billboard by himself
Jimin, a BTS, showed his potential as a solo artist by occupying the main Billboard chart in the U.S. with his new record 'MUSE'.

According to the latest chart (August 3) released by Billboard, an American music media outlet, Jimin ranked second with his second solo album 'MUSE' in the main album chart 'Billboard 200'. The album also ranked at the top of the charts, including 'Top Album Sales' (No. 2) and 'Top Current Album Sales' (No. 2). The title song 'Who' showed off its potential to rank 14th in the main song chart 'Hot 100' and #1 in 'Global 200', 'Global (excluding the United States)'Digital Song Sales'.

In particular, all seven tracks on the album, including 'Who', which reached the top, were charted in 'Global (except the United States). In addition to the title song, the tracks 'Smeraldo Garden Marching Band (feat. Loco)'(60th), 'Be Mine'(123rd), 'Slow Dance (feat. Sofia Carson)'(159th), 'Rebirth (Intro)'(187th) are ranked in the rankings of 'Global 200'.

This performance was an opportunity to show the presence of solo artist Jimin. Following his first solo album 'FACE' released last year, he was ranked in the top of 'Billboards 200' and made six songs 'Hot 100' based on individual songs. It was recorded as the most ranked K-pop solo artist of all time on the chart "Digital Song Sales" (No. 6).

The agency Big Hit Music said "This achievement was possible because of the artist's sincerity and consistency that did not play tricks." Jimin told the behind-the-scenes story that he relearned the basics of vocals while preparing for the album in the 'exchange album MMM (Mini & Moni Music) - Jimin' video, which reviews Sinbo in detail. Although he has made his best career as a BTS, he shows his efforts to develop further. Producer Pdogg, who co-wrote 'MUSE', said "Jimin is an attractive artist who always tries hard. Thanks to these efforts, we can confirm his musical journey that has grown further (from 'MUSE').

The more powerful performance is one of Jimin's power to hit the global music market. In fact, the 'Who' performance video, which aired on the popular NBC talk show 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon' on the 23rd, dominated the top video of YouTube's soaring popularity in various countries/regions. This buzz led to a rise in the rankings of 'Who' on various music charts.

'Who' is a song with a sexy and bold beat about a loving situation and a confused feeling of missing someone you've never met. The unique sensibility of the song was expressable because it was Jimin, who was called 'irreplaceable performer'. "Jimin performs intense choreography from start to finish while boasting intense and confident vocals," American music media Consequence of Sound said on the stage of 'Who".

Meanwhile, Jimin's second solo album 'MUSE's title song 'Who' has been at the top of Spotify's world's largest music streaming platform 'Daily Top Song Global' for 7 consecutive days (23-29)
