SEOUL, April. 6 (Yonhap) -- Jimin of the group BTS has showed off his popularity by topping the U.S. Billboard's main single chart "Hot 100" and the main album chart "Billboard 200" and ranking at the top of various detailed charts.
According to the latest chart released on Tuesday (local time), the title track "Like Crazy" has topped "Digital Song Sales" and "World Digital Song Sales."
It also ranked second in 'Global 200' and 'Global' (excluding the U.S.) and 35th in 'Streaming Song', respectively.
In addition to "Digital Song Sales," album tracks such as "Set Me Free Pt.2” 5th, "Face-off" 8th, "Alone" 12th, and "Interlude: Dive" 15th are all doing well.
Jimin's first solo album "FACE" has topped all of the "Top Album Sales," "Top Current Album," and "World Album."
In particular, Jimin's No. 1 achievement in the "Hot 100" is more meaningful after Billboard changed its regulation to recognize only one download last week and exclude more than two. At that time, Billboard's change in regulations was interpreted as an intention to check K-pop singers with strong fandom.
In addition to Jimin, other members of BTS continued their long runs on Billboard.
Leader RM's first solo album "Indigo" released in December last year ranked 13th in "World Album," 36th in "Top Current Album," and 70th in "Top Album Sales," respectively.
J-Hope ranked sixth in "Rap Digital Song Sales" and 12th in "R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales" with his single "On the Street" released in collaboration with J.Cole last month. Jin ranked seventh in "World Digital Song Sales" with his single "The Astronaut" released in October last year before joining the military.
