Jungkook, a member of the globally renowned K-pop group BTS, is making waves with his official solo debut single. His new single “Seven”, featuring Latto, is enjoying an impressive run on the Billboard charts, marking a significant milestone in his solo career.
In its debut week, “Seven” made history by securing the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Hot 100, Global 200, and Global Excl. U.S. chart. This achievement made Jungkook the first Korean solo artist to simultaneously debut a song at No. 1 on all three charts.
The success of “Seven” didn’t stop there. Jungkook has now become the first Korean soloist to hold the No. 1 spot on both Billboard’s Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. chart for two consecutive weeks. This achievement puts Jungkook in the same league as PSY, who was the first Korean solo artist to spend more than one week in the top 10 of Billboard’s Hot 100 over a decade ago.
In its second week on the Hot 100, which ranks the most popular songs in the United States, “Seven” maintained its strong position at No. 9. This impressive performance of Jungkook’s solo debut single is a testament to his growing global influence and the continued success of BTS.
