JIMIN's solo song "Who" sold 400,000 units in the UK and was released on the 15th (
Korean time) was awarded Gold by the British Phonographical Industrial (BPI) (BRIT certified)
The British Phonographic Industry (BPI) has awarded the Silver rating to singles based on a combination of factors including digital LUDA downloads, streaming, and physical album sales.
The certification is divided into three categories: Album (over 200,000), Gold (over 400,000), Platinum (over 600,000), and Multi-Platinum (over 1.2 million).
"Who" is the first K-pop solo song to be certified gold since PSY's "Gangnam Style," released on July 19 last year.
It took 211 days for the milestone to be achieved. It is well known in the UK for being difficult to rank on, and Jimin, who is currently serving in the military, achieved this feat with a completely solo song that is not a collaboration with a famous artist.
It is even more meaningful because it is the result of the collaboration. JIMIN's "Who" was ranked in the UK Official Singles Top 100.
The latest chart of the 2014 chart shows that the group has risen six places to 17th place, and since first ranking in July of last year, it has been on the chart for 24 weeks in its seventh consecutive run, making it the highest ranking group in 2014.
Since the chart was restructured, JIMIN has broken the record for the longest K-pop solo song. JIMIN is the second longest K-pop solo song on this chart after BTS' "Dynamite".
He also took over the record for the artist with the longest tenure both as a group and as a solo artist on the charts. Meanwhile, JIMIN was the top of the charts at the Hanteo Music Awards 2020 announced on the 15th.
He won the Global Artist in Europe category at the 2019 Music Awards on Spotify and other social media sites, proving his continued popularity in the UK and across Europe even while in the military.
I was able to truly experience this.
