BTS member Jimin has set another historic milestone on the iTunes charts. On July 14, Jimin’s solo track “Filter” reached the number one spot on the UK iTunes Top Songs chart, achieving an “all-kill” across 119 countries and regions worldwide.
“Filter,” a solo track from BTS’s fourth studio album, has contributed to BTS becoming the first group in history to achieve an all-kill on the iTunes Top Songs chart. This achievement follows Jimin’s previous success with “Like Crazy,” which topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart. This accomplishment made BTS one of the few groups, along with The Beatles and The Supremes, to have at least six number-one hits, with individual members also reaching number one.
Global media outlets have highlighted the significance of this achievement, noting, “Jimin’s ‘Filter’ achieving an all-kill in 119 countries has made BTS the first and only group to achieve this feat worldwide,” and “The song focuses on Jimin’s duality as an artist and his confidence in showcasing his various facets.”
Jimin’s other tracks, “Like Crazy,” “Closer Than This,” and “With You,” have also topped the iTunes charts in 119 countries, making him the first artist globally to achieve this record with four songs. His latest release, “Smeraldo Garden Marching Band,” is currently at number one in 117 countries, potentially adding a fifth all-kill to his list of achievements.
“Filter” has also re-entered the Worldwide iTunes Song Chart at 102nd position, marking its 77th day on the chart. In Europe, it re-entered at 70th position, achieving a total of 45 days on the chart. Additionally, “Filter” has surpassed 445 million streams on Spotify, making it the most-streamed solo track from the album. Despite being an audio track without a music video, it has garnered over 119.96 million views on YouTube and 135 million streams on Melon, showcasing its enduring popularity since its release in February 2020.
Jimin continues to demonstrate his global influence and popularity, further solidifying his reputation as a prominent figure in the music industry.
