BTS Jungkook's 'Euphoria' Surpasses 660 Million Spotify Streams, Continues Solo Record Streak
BTS member Jungkook's solo track 'Euphoria' has achieved a new milestone, surpassing 660 million streams on Spotify, the world's largest music streaming platform.
Released in August 2018 as a B-side track on a BTS album, 'Euphoria' currently holds the record for the most-streamed solo song by a BTS member on Spotify and ranks within the top 10 most-streamed songs overall by BTS.
Jungkook's global music power extends beyond 'Euphoria'. With five solo songs – 'Seven', 'Standing Next to You', 'Left and Right', and '3D' – surpassing 660 million streams, he has set a new record for the most-streamed K-pop solo artist. Notably, his four songs with over 1 billion streams ('Seven', 'Left and Right', 'Standing Next to You', '3D') mark him as the first and most prolific Asian solo artist to achieve this feat.
His chart and sales performances are equally remarkable. 'Euphoria', without any specific promotion, achieved a historic 92 weeks on the Billboard 'World Digital Song Sales' chart, a first for a K-pop idol's solo song. In the US, it surpassed 1 million units in cumulative sales, earning an RIAA Platinum certification. In Japan, it exceeded 100 million streams, receiving RIAJ Streaming Platinum certification.
Visual metrics also highlight its enduring popularity. The theme video for 'Euphoria', released on the HYBE LABELS YouTube channel on April 6, 2018, recently surpassed 118 million views, demonstrating its sustained appeal.
Netizens are reacting with awe, commenting, 'As expected of Jungkook!', 'Euphoria is a timeless masterpiece', and 'The scale of his overwhelming global popularity is different'.
