on the Spotify Top Songs Japan chart for a month straight, proving that his star power is only getting hotter. Even more impressive, the song is holding strong at No. 6 on the Spotify Global Chart, showing that Jin's appeal is truly worldwide.
Echoes of Success: Jin's Solo Power
"Don't Say You Love Me" is the title track from Jin's second solo mini-album, "Echo." The song's chill pop vibes and easy-listening melody have become instant earworms for fans. But it's Jin's smooth, emotional vocals that really hit home, capturing the bittersweet rollercoaster of love-how it can be both a comfort and a pain. Jin pours his own perspective into the lyrics, making them feel real and relatable, especially for anyone who's ever been through a complicated relationship.
But the numbers don't lie-Jin's solo career is on fire. Last month, "Echo" shipped over 100,000 copies in Japan, earning him a coveted Gold Disc certification from the Recording Industry Association of Japan. This is his third Gold Disc, following the success of his solo single "The Astronaut" and his first solo album "Happy," which went Platinum with over 250,000 units sold.
