Jimin breaks his own solo BTS record as Like Crazy goes Top 10.
Despite being on break, the members of K-pop powerhouse BTS are still making their marks on the charts as solo artists. Park Jimin now has the band’s largest individual Official Singles Chart achievement to date, with “Like Crazy” becoming the first-ever solo BTS Top 10 song.
Jimin of BTS is smashing it in the U.K., as “Like Crazy” (released by BigHit Entertainment) rockets to No. 8 on the charts.
“Like Crazy,” taken from his debut Album FACE, broke his previous record, achieved just one week earlier with “Set Me Free Pt. 2,” which peaked at No. 30, becoming the highest U.K. chart entry by a single member of BTS.
“Like Crazy” impacts the latest Official U.K. Singles Chart, released March 31 and led by Ed Sheeran’s “Eyes Closed,” which fires to No. 1 on debut.
The only other BTS band member to make the U.K. top 40 with a solo track before Jimin’s two most recent singles chart debuts were J-Hope, whose “One The Street” duet with J. Cole peaked at No. 37.
The seven-member K-pop supergroup, made up of J-Hope, Jin, Suga, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook, has four U.K. Top 10 songs so far, with “Life Goes On,” “Butter,” and the Coldplay collaboration “My Universe” all reaching the No. 3 spot.
The boyband also has two U.K. No. 1 albums as a collective: 2019’s Map of the Soul – Persona and 2020’s Map of the Soul – 7.
He is the sixth member of the K-pop supergroup’s seven members to have a solo single that made the U.K. top 100. Previously, J-Hope’s “On The Street” and Jungkook’s “Stay Alive” (No. 89), Jin’s “The Astronaut” (No. 61), and RM’s “Indigo” (No. 45) influenced the Official U.K. Singles Chart.
