BTS Jungkook Rewrites History on Billboard & Spotify with 'Seven' - Asia's First & Longest Chart Records!

Global superstar BTS member Jungkook is proving to be a 'history maker' as a solo artist as well.

Jungkook's solo debut song 'Seven (feat. Latto)' secured the 157th position on the Billboard 'Global 200' chart dated August 8 (local time). This marks an incredible 119 consecutive weeks on the chart since its release in July 2023, setting a 'first' and 'longest-running' record for any Asian artist overall.

The momentum of 'Seven' doesn't stop there. During the same period, it climbed to the late 80s on the Billboard 'Global Excl. US' chart, achieving another monumental feat of 120 consecutive weeks. This underscores its status as the longest-running song by an Asian solo artist on the chart.

On Spotify, the world's largest music streaming platform, 'Seven' is also making history. It has remained on the 'Weekly Top Songs Global' chart for over 120 consecutive weeks, an unprecedented 'first' and 'longest-running' achievement for an Asian solo artist's song. Furthermore, it has surpassed 2.6 billion cumulative streams, setting another historic record for an Asian artist's track.

Its initial performance was equally dominant. 'Seven' topped the Billboard 'Global Excl. US' chart for 9 consecutive weeks and the 'Global 200' chart for 7 consecutive weeks. It achieved a remarkable 7 weeks of simultaneous No. 1 positions on both charts, a milestone that marks the first and longest concurrent reign by an Asian artist.

What makes Jungkook's name even more special is not just the success of this single song. Following 'Seven', he became the first solo artist in history to have three or more songs – 'Seven', '3D', and 'Standing Next to You' – simultaneously reach No. 1 on both the 'Global 200' and 'Global Excl. US' charts within a single year.

Fans are expressing awe at his record-breaking achievements, commenting, "Jungkook is truly amazing! To still be on the Billboard charts after so many months, he's truly a world-class solo artist," "Not content with 7 consecutive weeks at No. 1 on Billboard, he's set the longest-running record too. Jungkook has made history again," and "Is Spotify's 2.6 billion streams real? It feels rewarding to consistently listen."
