BTS superstar Jimin continues to demonstrate his immense global influence as his solo track ‘Filter’ from the group’s 2020 fourth studio album, ‘Map of the Soul: 7,’ has officially surpassed an astounding 1 billion on-demand audio streams worldwide. This significant achievement underscores the song’s enduring appeal and Jimin’s unparalleled global popularity.
Jimin’s ‘Filter’ Hits 1 Billion On-Demand Streams Worldwide
Originally released in 2020 as a beloved solo track by Jimin within BTS’s full-length 4th album, ‘Map of the Soul: 7,’ ‘Filter’ has now cemented its global hit status by exceeding 1 billion on-demand audio streams across various platforms worldwide. This milestone is a clear testament to its immense and sustained international popularity.
On-demand streaming refers to user-driven, request-based audio consumption, where listeners actively search for or select specific tracks on music platforms like Spotify and Apple Music. This form of streaming is particularly significant as it directly reflects genuine user interest and active listener choice, making ‘Filter’s’ monumental achievement even more meaningful.
‘Filter’ has consistently shown exceptional performance on major platforms. Last January, the track exceeded 500 million streams on Spotify, the world’s largest music streaming service, and currently boasts over 511 million streams. Within the ‘Map of the Soul: 7’ album, ‘Filter’ proudly stands as the third most-streamed song, following the powerhouse title track ‘ON’ and the pre-release single ‘Black Swan’.
Domestically, ‘Filter’ has also achieved remarkable success, recording 136.8 million streams on Melon, making it the most streamed solo song credited to BTS. Its influence extends to video platforms, with the official audio track on YouTube accumulating over 134.7 million views, a testament to its popularity even without a dedicated music video. Furthermore, the track has surpassed 630,000 listens on Shazam, the global music discovery app, consistently proving its widespread appeal both in South Korea and internationally.
Adding to its impressive list of accolades, Jimin’s ‘Filter’ achieved an extraordinary ‘all-kill’ in July 2024, by topping the iTunes charts in a staggering 119 countries and regions worldwide. This historic accomplishment cemented BTS’s legacy as the first group to achieve a global iTunes Top Songs chart ‘all-kill’ with a solo track.
