BTS Singer Jin Scores His First Hit Album On His Second Try

Jin was the final member of BTS to go solo and release a project under his own name, following his six bandmates all dropping at least one set apiece – and some of them had even shared multiple full-lengths before he gave the world his first. He finally delivered his debut collection, an EP titled Happy, in November 2024. Just six months later, he’s back with Echo, a quick follow-up that has become even more successful in the United Kingdom, earning the singer some very special chart placements in the country.

Echo Gives Jin His First Hit Album

Echo arrives at No. 63 on the Official Albums chart. That tally ranks the most consumed EPs and full-lengths in the U.K., blending both sales and streaming activity. While Echo is Jin’s second collection as a soloist, it’s his first to appear on this list. Sadly, Happy did not perform well enough to make the roster last fall.

Jin Reaches the Top 10 for the First Time

The same short studio release gives Jin his first top 10 on the Official Albums Sales chart. On that tally, the EP starts at No. 8. It beats out the No. 19 starting point and peak of Happy.

Jin Soars to New Career Peaks on Multiple Tallies

Jin also reaches a new career peak on the Official Physical Albums chart with Echo. In that instance, the EP doesn’t crack the top 10, but instead, it kicks off its time at No. 15. That’s just two spots north of where Happy premiered.

Echo is One of the Most-Downloaded Albums in the U.K.

Echo launches highest on the Official Album Downloads chart, becoming the third most-downloaded project in the U.K. Somewhat surprisingly, this is not a new high point for the BTS superstar on that tally. Happy beat that position by one space and missed out on ruling by just as many spots when it stalled at No. 2 last fall.

“Don’t Say You Love Me” Launches at No. 1

Just one track from Echo appears on the charts in the U.K. this week. “Don’t Say You Love Me” was chosen as the focus tune from the short collection, and it reaches four rosters this frame. “Don’t Say You Love Me” enters the Official Singles Chart at No. 58, giving Jin his fifth solo placement on that all-encompassing songs ranking. Amazingly, the track launches at No. 1 on the other three rosters on which it debuts: the Official Singles Sales, Official Singles Downloads, and Official Physical Singles lists.
