BTS' Jimin becomes longest-charting K-pop soloist on Billboard Hot 100

SEOUL, March 12 (Yonhap) -- Jimin of BTS has set a new milestone in K-pop history, surpassing Psy to become the longest-charting K-pop solo artist on the Billboard Hot 100.

According to the latest chart released on Tuesday (U.S. time), Jimin's song "Who" secured the 41st spot, marking its 32nd consecutive week on the prestigious singles chart.

This achievement breaks the previous record of 31 weeks, held by Psy's 2012 global hit "Gangnam Style."

With this feat, Jimin also matches BTS' own record, as the group's 2020 megahit "Dynamite" also remained on the chart for 32 weeks. If "Who" continues its streak next week, it will become the longest-running K-pop song.

BLACKPINK member Rose's hit single "APT." featuring global pop star Bruno Mars remained at No. 6 in its 20th consecutive week.

"Born Again," a collaboration between BLACKPINK's Lisa, American rapper Doja Cat and British singer-songwriter Raye, re-entered the chart at No. 96.

On the Billboard 200 main album chart, Lisa's first solo full-length album "Alter Ego" debuted at No. 7. Rose's first solo album "Rosie" ranked 41st, Jimin's second solo album "Muse" placed 154th, and Stray Kids' "Hop" came in 157th.
