BTS Jungkook Continues Record-Breaking Streak on Spotify, Becomes First K-Pop Soloist with Unprecedented Achievements

BTS member Jungkook is maintaining his global music dominance by achieving two major milestones simultaneously on Spotify, the world's largest music streaming platform: the fastest record by an Asian artist and a first for any K-pop soloist.

Jungkook recently surpassed 9.6 billion streams (pre-filtering) across all tracks on his personal Spotify account. This achievement marks the shortest time frame for any Asian artist and is an unprecedented feat for a K-pop solo artist. His consistent performance, averaging 6.6 million streams daily, underscores his power as a global solo sensation.

Notably, Jungkook is the first Asian solo artist to have four songs surpass one billion streams on Spotify. His hit single 'Seven' boasts 2.55 billion streams, followed by 'Standing Next to You' with 1.29 billion, his collaboration with Charlie Puth, 'Left and Right,' at 1.11 billion, and '3D' also exceeding the one billion mark. Other tracks like 'Dreamers' (490 million) and his self-produced song 'Still With You' (360 million) continue to garner significant listens.

His song 'Seven' has entered the Spotify 'Weekly Top Songs Global' chart for an impressive 114 consecutive weeks, setting a record as the first and longest-charting song by an Asian solo artist. His solo album 'GOLDEN' also holds the record for the longest-charting Asian solo album on the 'Weekly Top Albums Global' chart, with 98 consecutive weeks, demonstrating its sustained popularity.

Jungkook's singles 'Seven,' '3D,' and 'Standing Next to You' have all topped the Spotify 'Daily Top Songs Global' chart. Furthermore, 'Seven' has maintained its position on the Billboard 'Global 200' and 'Global Excl. US' charts for 113 and 114 weeks, respectively, making him the first Asian solo artist to achieve such longevity, solidifying his reputation as a 'record-breaker.'

Jungkook first showcased his solo potential with tracks like 'Euphoria' and 'Euphoria: Theme of LOVE YOURSELF Wonder,' and his performance of 'Dreamers' at the 2022 Qatar World Cup opening ceremony received worldwide acclaim. His music is recognized for opening new horizons in K-pop with its unique sound and performances. He consistently develops his artistry by participating in songwriting, composing, and producing.
