K-pop sensation Jimin, a member of the renowned South Korean group BTS, has once again achieved a historic feat. The 28-year-old singer and dancer achieved a tremendous milestone on the global iTunes charts by being the first solo artiste worldwide to have seven songs each with 100 No. 1 ranks.

On Sunday, December 24, Jimin's latest single, "Closer Than This", secured the top spot on iTunes Top Songs charts in over 106 regions worldwide, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, France, Canada, Germany, Brazil, and Australia.

Jimin's recent achievement is noteworthy, especially given that his latest single faced tough competition from well-known Christmas hits. Despite the challenging lineup, "Closer Than This" by Jimin surpassed Wham's "Last Christmas" on the UK charts and Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You" in the United States.
