Jimin of BTS now has three titles from Guinness World Records on his own, the British reference book announced on Wednesday in the UK.
He has two records with his 2018 single “Promise” on streaming service SoundCloud so far.
The track became the most streamed song on the platform with 330 million plays as of June. It is the first self-written song from the artist and still remains the most streamed track in its first 24 hours of release at 8.5 million, dethroning Drake’s “Duppy Freestyle” that logged 4.9 million streams.
The artist also earned another world record for reaching 1 billion streams on Spotify with his solo tracks in 393 days—a record time for a K-pop solo musician—as of May. This replaces the record set by his bandmate Jungkook, added the authority, gaining momentum from the release of his first solo EP “Face.” AP/ra
