The track also ranked No. 1 on iTunes Song Charts in 23 countries, including Brazil, Germany, Russia, Malaysia, Taiwan, Spain, and Saudi Arabia. In the United States, it reached No. 5 on the iTunes chart.
On the same day, Jungkook’s album GOLDEN re entered the Worldwide iTunes Album Chart at No. 18 and the European Album Chart at No. 46.
The album has spent a total of 441 days and 234 days on the charts, marking the longest charting record for a K pop solo album.
In addition, Jungkook’s self composed song “Still with you” ranked No. 1 in four countries and entered charts in 27 countries. He also rose 199 spots to No. 41 on the Global Digital Artist Ranking dated February 26.
“Please Don’t Change” has now surpassed 200 million streams on Spotify, becoming the fifth track from GOLDEN to achieve the milestone. With strong rankings across multiple platforms, Jungkook continues to show his global impact as a solo artist.
