BTS, the South Korean group that has become one of the most successful global pop acts of the past decade, is gaining renewed visibility ahead of its full-team return next spring. Members Jimin and Jin secured notable positions on Billboard Japan’s 2025 year-end charts, signaling continued demand in one of the world’s largest music markets.
Billboard Japan listed Jimin as the only Korean male artist on this year’s Japan Hot 100. His solo single Who from the album MUSE placed at No. 73 and ranked No. 48 on Streaming Songs.
MUSE also appeared on year-end Streaming Albums and Hot Albums, reflecting steady interest in his solo output following military service.
Jin earned similar traction, joining Jimin on the Artist 100 and charting his second solo album Echo at No. 24 on Download Albums and No. 41 on Top Album Sales. Its lead track Don’t Say You Love Me reached No. 69 on Streaming Songs.
BTS also remained visible in Spotify Japan’s 2025 Wrapped summary, ranking No. 4 on Top Groups and No. 18 on Top Artists, and finishing as the most streamed foreign male act in Japan.
On Spotify’s global Wrapped, the group recorded the highest streaming totals among K-pop artists, underscoring its continued international reach.
Individual members saw additional gains on Japan’s Top Tracks of the Year. Jimin’s Who charted at No. 10, followed by Jin’s Don’t Say You Love Me at No. 19, Jungkook’s Seven at No. 65, and V and Park Hyo Shin’s Winter Ahead at No. 68. Winter Ahead also placed among the year’s most shared songs on social platforms. On the Top Albums list, Jimin’s MUSE, Jin’s Echo, and Jungkook’s GOLDEN finished at No. 13, No. 27, and No. 30.
The group appeared again in Lollapalooza Berlin’s 2025 Wrapped, where J-Hope’s performance of MIC Drop was named the festival’s “Loudest Crowd” moment after audience response pushed sound levels to their peak.
With strong showings across group and solo categories, BTS enters 2025 with reinforced momentum as anticipation builds for its upcoming album and world tour.
