BTS Jungkook's 'GOLDEN' Surpasses 10 Million EAS, Solidifying 'Solo King' Status

BTS member Jungkook has reaffirmed his 'Solo King' title by surpassing 10 million Equivalent Album Sales (EAS) with his debut solo album, 'GOLDEN.'

This monumental achievement makes 'GOLDEN' the best-selling album by a K-pop solo artist in history, further cementing Jungkook's unparalleled success.

The album, released in 2023, initially recorded 9.2 million EAS and reached the 10 million mark in just half a year. Last year, it also set a new record for the highest sales for a debut album by a male artist globally in the past decade (8.4 million EAS).

Jungkook's streaming performance is equally impressive. On Spotify, 'GOLDEN' became the first album by an Asian solo artist and the fastest by an Asian artist's full-length album to surpass 6.2 billion streams. It has also maintained a consecutive 104-week presence on the Spotify 'Weekly Top Albums Global' chart, extending its record as the longest-charting and first-ever album by an Asian solo artist.

Fans are showering Jungkook with praise, commenting things like 'Golden Maknae's power is immense!' and 'Always knew his solo work would break records.'
