BTS’ Jin sets new K-pop record for 2025, beats Jungkook and V in brand power: ‘Echo’ tops global iTunes, dominates MelOn, and more | Music News
BTS’ Jin and BigHit are basking in the success of the newly released album ECHO. Currently on his first solo world tour, the oldest member of BTS has even surpassed his own bandmates Jungkook, V, and J-Hope in the brand power rankings for May. His second solo album, within hours of dropping on May 16, broke K-pop records for the most album sales of 2025, beating BigBang’s G-Dragon and even dethroning Lisa’s Alter Ego on iTunes. The album kicked off with the emotional lead single “Don’t Say You Love Me,” whose music video starred K-drama actor Shin Se Kyung. Echo has a total of six tracks, including “Nothing Without Your Love,” “Loser,” “With the Clouds,” “To Me,” “Today,” and “Background,” apart from the lead single. What sets this album completely apart from his previous solo gigs is that, as promised, each track explores different themes of love.
