Released on July 19, at the start of summer, “Who” debuted at No. 3 on Spotify’s Global Daily Chart with over 7.9 million streams, holding the top spot for 20 days. It also ranked 3rd on the Weekly Top Songs Global Chart for the week of September 20–26. The track remains in the top 10 on the Global Daily Chart, marking the longest-charting K-pop solo song in the top 10. Jimin’s album MUSE, which features “Who,” has stayed in the top 10 of Spotify’s Weekly Top Albums Global Chart for 10 consecutive weeks, peaking at No. 8.
“Who” has also seen success on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, ranking 30th in its ninth week, the highest for a K-pop solo song. Jimin previously topped Seattle’s Channel R Radio’s ‘Song of the Summer 24’ as well, solidifying his dominance during this year’s summer season. Even as summer transitions into fall, “Who” continues to garner widespread love and acclaim.
