SEOUL, July 28 (AJP) - BTS member Jungkook has reached a new milestone on Billboard, becoming the first Asian solo artist to keep a single on both of the magazine's global charts for more than 100 consecutive weeks.
His debut solo single "Seven," released in 2023, ranked No. 156 on the Billboard Global 200 and No. 89 on the Global Excl. U.S. chart dated July 26. The song has now remained on the Global 200 for 104 weeks and on the Global Excl. U.S. chart for 105 weeks. It is the longest run ever for a solo artist from Asia.
"Seven" was a chart-topper at the time of its release, holding the No. 1 spot for nine straight weeks on the Global Excl. U.S. and for seven weeks on the Global 200. It was the first track by an Asian solo act to top both charts at the same time for seven weeks. That record still stands.
Jungkook's momentum as a solo artist has not slowed. He followed up "Seven" with "3D" and "Standing Next to You," both of which also reached No. 1 on the Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts. His continued success reflects his growing presence as a global pop artist.
