RM and Jin solo, highlighted in international year-end lists such as Billboard... BTS's long-lasting success remains strong

 December 9th, 2024





BTS has continued their consistent long-run momentum with the activities of soloists such as RM and Jin.

According to BigHit Music on 9th, BTS has solidified its position as a group, with the members' solo albums repeatedly securing spots on year-end best lists compiled by global charts.

The key albums that have made a significant impact on the chart include RM's solo album "Right Place, Wrong Person" and Jin's first solo album "Happy."

RM's soli album, "Right Place, Wrong Person" has been highlighted as one of the best works by major media outlets. It is included in Billboard's "Top 25 K-pop Albums of 2024," HYPEBEAST's "Top 10 Best Music Projects of 2024," Rolling Stone's "Top 100 Albums of 2024," and UK NME's "50 Best Albums of 2024."

Particularly, noteworthy are the rave reviews from Billboard and Rolling Stone, describing the album as "a work that strikes a clear balance between self-exploration and social commentary, maintaining artistic consistency across diverse genres, such as hip-hop, jazz, Afrobeats, and punk." These accolades not only highlight RM's presence as a solo musician but also reaffirm his stature as a member of BTS, drawing widespread attention.




Jin's first solo album "Happy" has also been included in Billboard's "Top 25 Best K-pop Albums of 2024," alongside RM's album. The retro-inspired tracks, such as "Running Wild" and "I'll Be There" — evoking comparisons to bands like The Killers and Fitz and the Tantrums—and the smooth modern pop ballad "Heart On The Window (featuring Wendy)," have garnered significant attention. Critics praised the album as an "impressive pop rock collection that shows Jin is ready to carve his own path and move forward with confidence."

The acclaim for RM and Jin's works, combined with the long-standing chart success of Jimin and Jungkook, highlights the growing influence of BTS members as solo artists. Additionally, BTS continues to demonstrate their enduring global impact, evidenced by their hit "Dynamite" ranking 71st on Uproxx's "100 Best Hit Songs of the Century So Far" and their seven-year streak as Spotify's most-streamed K-pop artist globally, with 3.9 billion streams in the 2024 Wrapped year-end summary. These achievements solidify the unwavering support for BTS as a group and as individual artists.
