Big Hit Music announced that BTS member Jin's solo track «Don't Say You Love Me» has exceeded 1 billion streams on Spotify, the world's largest music streaming platform.

«Don't Say You Love Me» is the lead single from Jin's second solo mini-album «Echo», released in May of last year. The song captures the feelings of lovers who find it difficult to let go of each other as their relationship comes to an end.

Upon its release, «Don't Say You Love Me» entered the Billboard Hot 100 main chart at No. 90. This marks Jin's third entry on the chart as a solo artist, following «The Astronaut» in 2022 and «Running Wild» in 2024.

As of 2026, more than 1,000 songs have surpassed the 1 billion streams mark on Spotify.

Jin has thus earned a place on Spotify's «Billions Club» playlist.

The first song to reach 1 billion streams was «One Dance» by Canadian rapper Drake. The fastest track to achieve the milestone was «Die With a Smile» by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars, which reached the mark in just 97 days.

When a song enters the «Billions Club», Spotify presents the artist with a special commemorative silver plaque. Interestingly, it has become a trend among artists to film humorous videos of themselves eating cereal or fast food off the plaque.

In addition to Jin, other BTS members in the «Billions Club» include Jungkook with four tracks («Seven», «Standing Next to You», «3D», and «Left and Right»), Jimin with «Like Crazy», and BTS as a group with hits such as «Dynamite», «Butter», «Boy With Luv», and «My Universe».

Other K-pop acts in the «Billions Club» include BLACKPINK as a group with «How You Like That» and «Kill This Love». Lisa has also surpassed 1 billion streams with her track «Money».
