To no one’s surprise, Taylor Swift topped the Spotify charts for most streamed artist and album of 2024 for the world, the U.S. — and Atlanta.
One artist, however, bucked national and global trends, bookending Atlanta’s list of the top five most streamed songs on Spotify in 2024. Jimin’s “Who” and “Like Crazy” took first and fifth place for Atlanta listeners, even though the K-pop artist didn’t end up making it on the national or global top 10 lists for songs, albums or artists.
A member of South Korean boy group and global sensation BTS, Jimin released “Who” on July 19, 2024, from his second solo album “Muse.” “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” featured the song in the same month, and the song topped Spotify’s Daily Top Songs Global chart for two days, according to Big Hit Music.
“Like Crazy,” Atlanta’s fifth most streamed song in 2024, was released in March 2023 as a single from his first solo album, “Face.” The song broke records and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, making Jimin the first South Korean solo artist to top the chart.
Jimin currently serves in the South Korean military and will be discharged next year.
