"FILTER" by BTS's Jimin continues to set new records

Filter is one of Jimin's solo songs, released in 2020 as part of the Map Of The Soul: 7 album. The song has a groovy vibe owing to its Latin pop feel. This, along with the lyrics, Jimin's angelic vocals, and the jaw-dropping performance revealed for the first time in October of 2020 during an online concert, have kept fans and even nonfans hooked to the song, making it one of the most popular BTS tracks both locally and internationally.

Filter's popularity is demonstrated on Melon, one of South Korea's biggest online music stores and music streaming platforms. Ranking all of BTS's most-streamed non-singles, Filter ranks tenth on this list. The song happens to be the only BTS solo song in the top 10, which is proof of its popularity among all solos. Moreover, Filter has so far recorded 118 million streams on Melon, again taking the position of the most streamed BTS solo track on the music platform.

It is worth noting that the popularity of Jimin's solo is not just in the kind of a song that Filter is, which makes it catchy, but it is because of Jimin's artistry and precision in his delivery of any kind of music, be it in performing, writing, composing, or producing. As proof, 'Friends' is a sub-unit song also in the MOTS: 7 album, produced by Jimin, ranks 8th on this list of most-streamed non-singles by BTS. Both Filter and Friends were nominated for the Gaon Song Of The Year award, whereby Jimin was the only BTS member nominated for this award, and that too with his first attempt at self-producing a track for the group's album.

The Gaon Music Chart provides weekly, monthly, and annual music rankings, resting on an aggregate of streams, downloads, and background music as compiled from online data extracted from web-based music providers like Melon, Bugs, Flo, Genie, Vibe, KakaoMusic, and Soribada. Therefore, the nominations for both his songs were a testament to his standards and the impact his songs have had in the industry. 

Filter's popularity is further demonstrated on the International music scene, where it has continued to set and break records since its release. It can be considered as the best-selling solo song from the MOTS:7 album. 

First, on July 27, the official Billboard World Digital Song Sales chart for the week of July 31, 2021, was released. Filter ranked 5th on this chart, thereby having spent 71 weeks on the chart since its release on February 21, 2020. By so doing, Filter now holds the record for the longest-charting Korean solo song on the WDSS chart, among the 2020 releases.

Another demonstration of its high sales impact is on iTunes. Again on July 27, Filter topped the iTunes chart in the British Virgin Islands, making it the 113th country for the song to conquer. With this new achievement, Filter once again broke its own record for the BTS solo song with the highest number of number ones on iTunes worldwide, and also the B-Side track with the highest number of number ones in iTunes history. Fans celebrated this new achievement by trending #FilterByJimin113Win.

Filter's impact is also reflected in the streaming numbers. In fact, as of today, Filter ranks 7th on BTS's most popular tracklist on Spotify, the largest music streaming platform globally. It also recently broke the record for the Fastest unpromoted Korean solo Song and Korean Male solo song to ever 180 million streams on the same platform. This number currently stands at 181 million streams.

Filter's streaming numbers and sales units both on the local and international music platforms are a show of its popularity. It is expected that more records will be set and broken by the song in the coming days.

Congratulations to Jimin for such a masterpiece.
