Jungkook, the golden maknae of BTS, continues to make waves on Spotify with his record-breaking achievements. His first solo album GOLDEN has reached new heights, proving his status as a global pop sensation.

According to the latest Spotify charts, GOLDEN climbed four spots to secure #33 on the Weekly Top Albums Global chart, marking its 46th consecutive week on the chart. This feat extends his record for the longest-charting album by an Asian solo artist. For nearly a year, GOLDEN has demonstrated its staying power and Jungkook’s undeniable influence on the music scene.


But the success doesn’t stop with the album. Jungkook’s singles are equally dominating the charts. On the Weekly Top Songs Global chart, his hit song "Seven" grabbed the #48 spot, while his title track "Standing Next to You" landed at #122. Impressively, both songs have been charting for a significant time—62 weeks for "Seven" and 45 weeks for "Standing Next to You." These entries showcase Jungkook’s lasting appeal and highlight his growing presence as a solo artist, extending his popularity far beyond K-pop.

In addition to his recent chart success, Jungkook made history as the first K-pop solo artist to have not one, but two songs with over 1 billion streams on Spotify. His singles "Seven" and "Left And Right" now boast over a billion streams each, securing their place in Spotify’s prestigious Billions Club playlist. To celebrate this incredible achievement, Jungkook received two commemorative plaques, solidifying his position among the world’s top artists.


As Jungkook continues to set new milestones, his journey as a solo artist is just beginning. With these remarkable achievements under his belt, there’s no doubt he will continue to break barriers and rewrite records in the global music industry.

For Jungkook, the future looks brighter than ever.

More About Jungkook
Jeon Jung-kook, widely known as Jungkook, is a South Korean singer and songwriter who gained fame as a member and vocalist of the boy band BTS. As part of BTS' discography, he has released three solo tracks— "Begin" (2016), "Euphoria" (2018), and "My Time" (2020)—all of which have charted on South Korea's Gaon Digital Chart. Additionally, he recorded "Stay Alive" for the BTS-based webtoon 7Fates: Chakho.

Jungkook initially auditioned for the South Korean talent show Superstar K in 2011, but despite not being selected, he received casting offers from seven entertainment companies. He ultimately chose to train under Big Hit Entertainment after witnessing RM, now his bandmate and BTS leader, perform. To hone his dance skills before his debut, Jungkook traveled to Los Angeles in the summer of 2012 to train with Movement Lifestyle. That same year, he appeared in Jo Kwon's music video for "I'm Da One" and worked as a backup dancer for Glam.


In 2022, Jungkook collaborated with American singer Charlie Puth on the single "Left and Right," which reached number 22 on the US Billboard Hot 100. Later that year, he made history as the first South Korean artist to release an official song for the FIFA World Cup soundtrack with "Dreamers," performing it at the World Cup opening ceremony. Jungkook's debut solo single, "Seven" featuring Latto, was released in 2023 and shattered numerous records. It debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, Global 200, and Global Excl. U.S. charts, making him the first Korean solo artist to achieve this feat. "Seven" also became the fastest song to reach 1 billion streams on Spotify. His follow-up single "3D," featuring Jack Harlow, debuted at number five on both the Hot 100 and the UK Singles Chart, making Jungkook the first South Korean solo artist with two consecutive top-five hits on the latter.
