With his first album “Face” and its lead song “Like Crazy,” Park Jimin of BTS has broken all last records on the Billboard charts.

Park Jimin, a member of the vocal line for the biggest boy band BTS, has surpassed all previous records for Korean solo artists on the Billboard 200 and Hot 100 charts.

The Run Bts hitmaker became the first and only Korean solo artist to ever debut at number one on the Billboard hot 100 charts with his hit song ‘Like Crazy.‘

Jimin surpassed the old record set by another member of the group RM with his first project, “Indigo,” which debuted at number three on the Billboard 200 Albums Chart, by selling over 100,000 units of his solo album “Face” in the US alone.

The debut position of Jimin’s “Like Crazy” on the Billboard 200 song chart was at number two (including and excluding the US).

The fact that each member of BTS has achieved enormous success as a soloist also means that their success as a group can be ascribed to them all. Notwithstanding the recent changes to the list, BTS is still the only Korean group to have all of its members make a song debut.

All of the group’s other members used social media to celebrate Jimin’s historical moment.

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.
