In 2025, the Global Daily Top Songs chart on Spotify is a good way to see how people worldwide listen to music. It shows how both solo projects and crossover successes, as well as megastars with huge fan bases, have an impact. This year, only Jin from BTS, Bad Bunny from Puerto Rico, and Playboi Carti from the US have pushed a 2025 release to the top of Spotify's Global Daily Chart. This accomplishment was just made public.
BTS' Jin joins Bad Bunny and Playboi Carti to chart a 2025 song at #1 on the Spotify Global Chart: more details
On May 26, 2025, Jin's song Don't Say You Love Me, which made him think, became his first No. 1 solo hit on Spotify. It reached the top of the Global Daily Top Songs list. The Express Tribune said that the track got 5,693,634 streams that day, breaking the previous record and proving that Jin is a strong solo artist outside of BTS.
On May 16, he put out Echo, his second extended play (EP). It was lauded for its complex production and showed off his impassioned lyrics. This achievement came after it was published. The title track from Bad Bunny's sixth studio album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos, was DTMF, which was number one on the daily Spotify Global list for sixteen days in a row earlier this year.
According to Wikipedia's breakdown of streaming statistics, DTMF consistently had the most listeners throughout the globe and reached an incredible 14,369,234 streams in a single day. This record shows that Bad Bunny still has a strong hold on both the Latin and mainstream music scenes. He does this by mixing reggaeton and rap with traditional plena rhythms.
Playboi Carti's introduction into the mainstream media hasn't gotten as much attention, but social media reports say that he also had a No. 1 daily Global Spotify song in 2025. Major chart archives don't say which Carti song it is, but one of his singles or a big feature was probably popular enough to reach the top of Spotify's worldwide daily rating.
This is a big deal for Jin since BTS has been so successful together. BTS has had songs in the Global Top 50 before, but when members work on individual projects, they have to cope with the pressure to keep the group's huge legacy alive while still developing their unique styles. So, Jin's No. 1 spot shows not just how much fans care, but also how many other people are involved.
In today's music landscape, Playboi Carti and Bad Bunny are at opposite ends of the spectrum. Playboi Carti is in the Latin trap/reggaeton camp, while Bad Bunny is in the avant-garde rap camp. The fact that they both did well shows that Spotify is reaching more people, which is making experimental and non-English music as popular as mainstream music all across the globe.
In the changing music business of 2025, being at the top of Spotify's Global Daily Top Songs list means you are very popular and have a big cultural effect. Jin has reached a personal goal as a solo artist by having his debut song reach the top of the charts throughout the globe. He is now in the same group as other performers like Bad Bunny and Playboi Carti, who have proved how successful music can be in many styles and ways.
