Some artists fight tooth and nail just to land on a U.S. chart for a week. Jimin? He parks himself there for almost a year and casually rewrites history. His solo album MUSE just became the first and only K-pop soloist album to stay on Spotify’s U.S. chart for 50 straight weeks. Yes, fifty. Five-zero. At this point, Spotify might as well build him a permanent suite.
Think about it—nearly twelve months of continuous presence in one of the toughest, most crowded music markets in the world. This isn’t just sticking around; this is domination. And while most albums fade after the buzz dies down, MUSE is still playing on repeat across America like it just dropped yesterday.
Fans reacted exactly as you’d expect: with explosions of pride, hashtags flying, and endless declarations that Jimin isn’t just part of K-pop history, he is K-pop history. And honestly, who’s going to argue? He was already the first Korean soloist to hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with “Like Crazy,” and now he’s the only one to conquer Spotify U.S. for 50 weeks straight. First. Only. End of discussion.
What makes this so powerful is how MUSE connects with listeners. It isn’t designed for a quick viral spike—it’s built on authenticity, emotion, and artistry. Every track feels like a window into Jimin’s world, and that’s why people keep coming back. You can’t fake longevity, and Jimin doesn’t have to.
Critics love to downplay BTS’s solo success, but let’s be real: you don’t accidentally land half a hundred weeks on the U.S. chart. That’s not hype—it’s impact. That’s not luck—it’s legacy. And once again, Jimin is proving why he’s called the King of K-pop.
So here we are, 50 weeks later, and MUSE is still untouchable. Other artists can chase headlines, but Jimin is out here setting new standards the industry has no idea how to catch up to. He is the first, the only, and the blueprint.
And something tells me he’s just getting started.
