He also became the fastest K pop solo artist to hit 1 billion streams with three songs: “Dreamers,” “Left and Right,” and “Stay Alive.” His hit song “Seven” recorded the highest weekly streams ever for a global male artist track on Spotify and became the fastest song in platform history to reach both 100 million and 1 billion streams.
With these achievements, Jungkook has officially entered the Guinness World Records, continuing his run of setting new records for fastest, first, most, and longest on Spotify.
