On October 17, 2023, Jimin became the first artist in the world to have three of his songs rank at #1 on the iTunes chart. This is a massive achievement by the BTS singer since he created history with this milestone. His fans—the BTS ARMY—rejoiced and took pride as Park Jimin carved his name on the walls of history.
A fan and an X user, @PROUDARMY007, congratulated the global icon and hailed him as a "record maker."
Jimin has earned the title of "King of iTunes" from his fans due to his multiple noteworthy accomplishments on the music-purchasing Apple app, iTunes. He also holds the record for With You (released April 24, 2022,) becoming the fastest song to reach #1 on iTunes in 100 different countries.
He has the top three spots for the fastest songs on this chart, with Like Crazy coming in third and Set Me Free Pt. 2 coming in second. Both tracks are from his solo debut album FACE.
"You deserve this": Fans are on cloud seven as Jimin sets unprecedented records as a global icon and soloist
Jimin is presently the only artist in the world to have achieved #1 on the iTunes all-genre song list with not one but two songs, With You—the OST from the popular K-drama Our Blues starring Shin Min-a and Kim Woo-bin—and Like Crazy, in all 119 countries where the platform is available.
Furthermore, the Like Crazy singer-songwriter holds the record for being the only Korean solo artist with the highest number of songs that have reached #1 on iTunes in more than 100 different countries, along with being the only Korean solo artist with the highest number of No. 1 songs on iTunes charts in the US, the UK, and France.
As expected, fans poured in their heartfelt messages on X and flooded the social media app to celebrate the BTS singer's triumph as the world's only artist to chart three of his songs on iTunes. While @RituKookie said that he deserves this, @pjmpoems13 stated that they are proud of him.
Besides, before Jimin made his formal solo debut, Filter, his popular solo performance single from BTS' Map Of The Soul:7 album, already held the record for the B-side track with the most #1s in iTunes history (117), and the song has now expanded this record with a new accomplishment.
It is also important to highlight that on October 15, 2023, Germany became the 118th nation to have the song reach the top of the iTunes all-genre song list. Jimin also continued to hold the record for the most #1s in iTunes history for B-side tracks by an artist.
He furthers his record as the first and only artist in the world by having three songs that have attained the #1 spot on iTunes in at least 118 different nations.
The Like Crazy singer-songwriter will be releasing his solo documentary film Jimin's Production Diary on October 23, 2023, which will show the artist's creative process and journey of creating his solo debut album, FACE—two tracks of which charted at No. 1 on iTunes.
