Jungkook’s “GOLDEN” Soars to Top 3 on UK’s Official Albums Chart, a First for Korean Soloists

In an unprecedented feat, BTS’s Jungkook has etched his name in the annals of the United Kingdom’s Official Albums Chart with his debut solo album “GOLDEN.” As announced by the UK’s Official Charts on November 10, Jungkook has ascended to the number 3 spot for the week of November 9 to 15, marking the most impressive entry by a Korean solo artist on the chart to date.

The achievement surpasses the previous record held by his fellow BTS member Suga, whose mixtape “D-2” peaked at number 7 three years prior. Jungkook’s “GOLDEN” not only eclipses this benchmark but also becomes the only album by a Korean solo artist to breach the top 10 of the UK’s esteemed chart.

With “GOLDEN,” Jungkook demonstrates the universal appeal of his music, as he continues to redefine the boundaries of K-pop on the global stage.
