The title track ‘Running Wild’ maintains its popularity at 12th on the ‘Global (excluding the U.S.)’ chart and 33rd on the ‘Global 200’. The track ‘Until I Reach You’ topped the ‘World Digital Song Sales’ chart, demonstrating its prominence on various charts with a 119th position on the ‘Global (excluding the U.S.)’ chart, allowing Jin to hold the top spot for two consecutive weeks. Last week, he also achieved 1st place on the same chart with ‘Heart on the Window (with Wendy)’.
BTS JiMin and BTS JungKook’s solo activities are also notable. Jimin’s ‘Who’ is ranked 56th on the ‘Billboard Hot 100’, while his second solo album ‘MUSE’ is listed at 157th on the ‘Billboard 200’, marking its 19th consecutive week on the chart. ‘Who’ continues its popularity, ranking 22nd on the ‘Global (excluding the U.S.)’ chart and 30th on the ‘Global 200’.

BTS RM also set a remarkable record. His second solo album ‘Right Place, Wrong Person’ was chosen as the 88th best album in Rolling Stone’s ‘Top 100 Albums of 2024’. This is particularly significant as RM is the only K-pop artist featured on this list. Rolling Stone praised this album as a “psychedelic and emotional album” that harmoniously combines introspective lyrics with new musical explorations.
An in-depth story about RM’s second solo album can be found in the documentary film ‘RM: Right People, Wrong Place’, which opens on the 5th. This film chronicles the making of his second solo album and will be screened in over 90 countries worldwide. As the first K-pop documentary to be officially invited to the Open Cinema section of the Busan International Film Festival, it has garnered significant attention.
As individual activities of BTS members stand out on global charts, their next steps are even more anticipated. With their unique musicality and global fandom, BTS’s journey is expected to continue into 2024.
