Jimin's long-awaited and highly anticipated solo debut album 'FACE' was finally released on March 24. The pre-release track 'Set Me Free. Pt2' released on March 17, had already been performing exceptionally well and set numerous historical records on different music charts and platforms across the world [refer here for iTunes and Melon, here for Spotify, here for Oricon, and here for UK Big Top 40]. Such an explosive reception to the song further heightened the already high expectations for the album, and it indeed lived up to these expectations!
The title track 'Like Crazy' broke the records set by 'Set Me Free Pt.2' last week, becoming the biggest solo song debut by a K-pop soloist in Spotify Global Chart history. This record is applied both for filtered and unfiltered streams. Jimin now holds the Top 2 positions for the biggest solo song debut by a K-pop soloist on Spotify Global chart in history, with the third position still being a song that he featured in, VIBE by Taeyang (ft Jimin)!

With such high streaming numbers, 'Like Crazy' became the 8th biggest song debut by a Korean act on the Spotify Global chart.
In addition, aside from setting this impressive new record on the Spotify Global chart, the same record was set on numerous country-based Spotify charts, especially those that are considered to be among the biggest music markets in the world.
For instance, 'Like Crazy' also registered the biggest solo song debut by a K-pop Act in history on Spotify USA, UK, Chile, and many other countries. Notably, USA and UK are considered the first and third largest music markets in the world, respectively. The record in both of these countries was previously held by 'Set Me Free Pt.2', meaning that Jimin now owns the Top 2 highest solo song debut by a K-pop act on both Spotify USA and UK, and this is such a mind-blowing achievement especially since he has accomplished this with his first ever solo album!
