BTS’s Jungkook continues to shine solo as his debut album GOLDEN keeps winning hearts all over the world — even 400 days after its release!
Released in November 2023, Jungkook’s GOLDEN has now charted on the Worldwide iTunes Albums chart for an incredible 400 consecutive days. That’s over a year of non-stop love, making it one of the rarest and longest runs ever for a single album on the platform. It also stayed on the European iTunes Albums chart for 200 days, proving how strong his international fanbase is.
Right after its release, GOLDEN topped iTunes album charts in 106 countries and regions and held the No. 1 spot on Worldwide iTunes for 14 straight days. Over on European iTunes, it also ruled for more than a week.
On Apple Music, GOLDEN made history by becoming the first and longest-charting K-pop solo album on the Worldwide Apple Music Albums chart, holding on for more than 560 days. It also remained on the European Apple Music Albums chart for over 440 days — and it’s still going strong.
Spotify numbers are just as jaw-dropping. GOLDEN is the first and longest-charting album by an Asian solo artist on the Weekly Top Albums Global chart with 84 consecutive weeks. The album has now crossed a total of 5.6 billion streams, showing that listeners can’t stop replaying it.
It’s not just the title songs — every track from GOLDEN is pulling in major streaming numbers:

That’s 10 songs with over 100 million streams — and still rising.
In the U.S., GOLDEN debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, making Jungkook the first Asian solo artist to ever do so. It stayed on the chart for 25 weeks. In the UK, it spent 8 weeks on the Official Albums Chart Top 100, the longest time for any K-pop soloist.
Back home in Korea, GOLDEN has sold over 2.82 million copies on the Circle Album Chart, putting Jungkook on track to hit 3 million. With just this one album, he became the best-selling solo artist in Circle Chart history.
