His ability to maintain such a strong chart presence for over a year showcases the quality and replay value of his music, setting him apart in a competitive landscape.

Title Track ‘Who’ Dominates Music Streaming

The success of ‘MUSE’ is powerfully driven by its title track, ‘Who’. The song has achieved remarkable music streaming success, accumulating over 428.75 million filtered streams on Spotify. This impressive figure has placed ‘Who’ at #84 on Spotify’s ‘Most Streamed Songs of All Time in the US’ list, making it the highest-ranking K-pop song in the chart’s history. This feat underscores the track’s widespread appeal and massive consumption by the American public.

Further cementing its legacy, ‘Who’ has shown incredible staying power. As of November 6, 2025, the song had remained on the ‘Daily Top Songs USA’ chart for 461 consecutive days—over 15 months since its release. Notably, ‘Who’ was the first and only K-pop solo song to reach #1 on this daily chart without featuring a foreign artist, a testament to Jimin’s standalone star power. Cumulatively, Jimin has become the first and only K-pop artist to surpass 600 million streams on Spotify’s US charts, a monumental achievement that firmly establishes his record-breaking solo career.
