@obumJimin's 31st birthday got me looking back at what he's actually pulled off, and the list is long. Start with the Hot 100: he's the first K-pop soloist to land a debut at number one there. His solo track also spent more weeks on that chart than any other K-pop soloist's has, and on World Albums the two longest-running number one albums from a K-pop soloist are both his. Spotify is where it gets silly. He's tied for the fastest solo male song to cross a billion streams, his solo cut was the first from a K-pop soloist to hold 100 days in the global top 10, and his album is the most-streamed one from a K-pop soloist in US Spotify history. Barb, all of that across every chart and streaming platform, just for a birthday roundup.
