BTS’s Jungkook Continues His Historic Run on Billboard’s Hot 100 with “Seven”

BTS‘s Jungkook is setting new milestones with his solo debut single “Seven”, proving to be a persistent force on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The track, which has captivated audiences globally, continues to hold a prestigious position in the top 40, marking a significant achievement in the Korean music industry.

In July, Jungkook embarked on a historic journey when he released “Seven”, featuring Latto. The single not only debuted at the pinnacle of Billboard’s Hot 100 but also clinched the top spots on the Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts. This triumphant debut made Jungkook the first Korean soloist to simultaneously secure the number one position on these three prominent charts, etching his name in the annals of music history.

As of September 12, Billboard disclosed that “Seven” has managed to retain its position in the Hot 100 for an impressive eight consecutive weeks, ranking at number 37 for the week ending on September 16. This accomplishment places Jungkook in an elite group, becoming the second Korean solo artist to sustain a top 40 position on the Hot 100 for eight weeks, a feat previously achieved only by the renowned artist PSY.

But the accolades for “Seven” don’t stop here. The single has exhibited a dominant presence on the Global Excl. U.S. chart, maintaining the number one spot for eight straight weeks, a first for any song released in 2023. This uninterrupted reign showcases the song’s global appeal and the immense popularity Jungkook enjoys as a solo artist.

Furthermore, “Seven” has exhibited resilience on other Billboard charts as well. After reigning at the top of the Global 200 for seven weeks, it currently holds the second position, demonstrating its enduring appeal. Moreover, the track continues to be a favorite on mainstream radio, securing the 19th spot on the Pop Airplay chart, which reflects its consistent plays on top 40 radio stations across the United States.

As Jungkook continues to carve out a successful solo path, the journey of “Seven” serves as a testament to his musical prowess and the global impact of his artistry. The track not only resonates with a wide audience but also signifies a golden chapter in the evolving narrative of Korean music on the global stage.
