Jimin continues making history with his pre-release single 'Set Me Free Pt.2' on different music charts globally. So far, he has set historical records on South Korea's biggest music streaming and downloading platform, Melon as the biggest 2023 debut by a K-soloist and on the biggest music purchasing platform globally, iTunes, as the fastest song in history to reach #1 in 111 countries, doing so in just 10 hours, and it is the only song to achieve this in 2023 [refer here]. He has also dominated the world's biggest music streaming platform Spotify as he registered the biggest debut in history by a K-soloist on Spotify Global, USA, UK, France, Chile, and Brazil, to mention a few [refer here].
The enviable performance this time is on the music charts in Japan, which happens to be the world's second-largest music market.
The Oricon chart is one of the country's major music charts, and Jimin is not sparing any major charts anywhere in the world. On March 18, a day after the release of 'Set Me Free Pt.2', Jimin had already taken the top position on the Oricon Daily Digital Singles Chart! On March 22, the Oricon Weekly Digital Singles Chart was unveiled, and despite having just 3 days of tracking, the chart showed Jimin being at the top as well!
As such, Jimin became the FIRST Korean Soloist to reach #1 on both the Oricon Daily and Weekly Digital Singles charts, ever since the inception of the charts in 1968!
Jimin's "Set Me Free Pt.2" debuts at No. 1 on Japan Oricon Daily Digital Singles Chart with 4,647 downloads 🔥
