BTS’s Jungkook continues to break records and make history, even while serving in the military!

The talented singer has just reached a major milestone by spending an incredible 600 days on Spotify’s prestigious "Global Top Artist" chart. This makes him the first K-pop solo artist to achieve this groundbreaking feat, proving just how popular and loved he is worldwide!

Since starting his solo career in July 2023, Jungkook has consistently remained on the chart, showing his solid presence and undeniable appeal as a solo artist, even after enlisting in December 2023. His success is nothing short of amazing!

Jungkook’s solo single "Seven" played a huge part in these historic achievements. He became the fastest artist in Spotify history to hit major milestones, including 100 million, 900 million, 1 billion, and 1.1 billion streams. He also made history as the first Asian artist to reach a massive 2.1 billion streams.

And it doesn't stop there—Jungkook now has three songs with over 1 billion streams: "Seven", "Standing Next to You", and "Left and Right". He also holds two songs with over 1.1 billion streams ("Seven" and "Standing Next to You").

On top of that, his tracks "Seven", "3D", and "Standing Next to You" all topped Spotify’s "Daily Top Song Global" chart, with "Seven" becoming the first Asian song to hold the #1 spot for an impressive 71 days! Jungkook also set the record for the longest-running #1 male artist on the "Weekly Top Song Global" chart in 2023, holding the position for a total of 9 weeks.

"Seven" was so popular that it earned a place as the 11th most-streamed song of the 2020s on Spotify, further cementing its status as a global smash hit!

Jungkook’s debut solo album, "GOLDEN," also made history by becoming the first album by an Asian solo artist to surpass 5.1 billion streams on Spotify.

With his personal Spotify account, Jungkook has reached an astonishing 8.2 billion total streams, making him the fastest, first, and most-record-breaking K-pop artist on the platform!

Jungkook’s success is truly unprecedented, and his journey to the top is far from over.
