Jungkook, the youngest member of global superstars BTS, has achieved another historic milestone as his solo single “Seven” (feat. Latto) remains on the Billboard Global 200 for an unprecedented 62 consecutive weeks. This marks the longest streak for an Asian solo artist on the chart, solidifying his status as a global music icon.
As of the chart dated September 28, “Seven” is ranked at No. 80 on the Billboard Global 200 and No. 45 on the Global 200 excluding the US. The track has maintained its presence on both charts for 62 weeks, showcasing its lasting popularity across global audiences.
Jungkook’s “Seven” previously dominated the top spot on both charts, staying at No. 1 for seven weeks on the Global 200 and nine weeks on the Global 200 excluding the US. This achievement made Jungkook the first Asian solo artist to simultaneously top both charts for seven consecutive weeks, further highlighting his influence on the global music scene.
Beyond his success on the Billboard Global 200, “Seven” also reached No. 1 on the prestigious Billboard Hot 100 chart, remaining there for an impressive 15 weeks. The song’s worldwide appeal is further demonstrated by its massive streaming numbers, with over 1 billion streams on Spotify alone. Jungkook's ability to consistently perform well across multiple platforms reflects his growing influence and the enduring appeal of his music.
What makes Jungkook’s success even more notable is his ability to break records as a solo artist, despite being part of one of the most successful K-pop groups in history. He is the first solo artist to have three songs simultaneously top both the Global 200 and Global 200 excluding the US charts. This accomplishment showcases not only his vocal talent but also his wide-ranging appeal, transcending cultural and language barriers.
Jungkook’s achievements with “Seven” underscore the increasing global recognition of K-pop as a mainstream genre. His ability to stay atop the charts for extended periods demonstrates the evolving power of K-pop stars in the international music industry. As more Asian artists break into Western markets, Jungkook's success signals a shift in the music landscape, with more diverse voices gaining prominence.
With “Seven” still charting consistently and his popularity growing, Jungkook has solidified his position as one of the leading figures in the music world. His record-breaking streak on the Billboard Global 200 is not only a testament to his talent but also an indicator of the shifting dynamics in the global music industry. As he continues to break new ground, Jungkook's influence is expected to grow even further.
Jungkook’s remarkable achievements as a solo artist come at a time when BTS members are exploring individual projects, further expanding their influence beyond group activities. His success sets a high bar for future solo endeavors, and fans are eager to see what the talented singer has in store next.
