On July 19, BTS‘s Jimin released his new album MUSE, along with its title track “Who”, despite his ongoing military enlistment.
Fans were ecstatic to get new music from the K-Pop idol, with many already calling it the song of the year!
It’s been quickly getting high streaming numbers on various music-listening platforms, including iTunes. For a while, though, it was stuck in second place on the U.S. iTunes chart, surpassed by the controversial song “You Missed” by Tom MacDonald about the recent assassination attempt of former U.S. President Donald Trump.
However, thanks to a sudden surge in streaming on the music platform, Jimin’s “Who” has now reached the #1 position on the music chart!
