Just a few weeks ago, Jimin’s BTS bandmate J-Hope made history as the first Korean soloist to debut in the top 40 of the UK Official Singles Chart with his J. Cole collab “on the street” debuting at No. 37. Jimin is now the fifth BTS member with an entry in the UK top 100, with their other solo entries being Jin’s “The Astronaut” at No. 61, Jungkook’s “Stay Alive” (produced by Suga) at No. 89, and RM’s “Indigo” on the Official Albums Chart at No. 45.

As a group, BTS has four songs that have ranked in the top 10 of the Official Singles Chart, including “Dynamite,” “Life Goes On,” “Butter,” and “My Universe” with Coldplay. On the UK Official Albums Chart, BTS has two No. 1 hits with “Map of the Soul: Persona” and “Map of the Soul: 7.”

Earlier this day, Jimin released his solo debut album “FACE” which features the title track “Like Crazy.”

Congratulations to Jimin!
