    Now, Seven has remained on both the Global 200 and Global (excluding U.S.) charts for an impressive 71 consecutive weeks. This milestone solidifies Jungkook as the first Asian solo artist to achieve such a streak on both charts. His success highlights his growing influence and power as a global pop star.

    In addition to Seven, Jungkook’s other songs, Standing Next to You and 3D, also topped both charts, marking a historic achievement. He became the first solo artist in history to have three songs simultaneously reach number one on both charts within one year, a huge accomplishment in Billboard history.

    Seven also set a record by staying at number one on the Global (excluding U.S.) chart for 9 consecutive weeks and 7 weeks on the Global 200 chart, making it the longest streak of consecutive number ones by any Asian artist on both charts.

    Jungkook’s global dominance continues with 206 weeks on the Global 200 chart and 254 weeks on the Global (excluding U.S.) chart, proving his continued strength in the international music scene.

    On the prestigious Hot 100 chart, Jungkook made history by placing Seven, Standing Next to You, and 3D in the top five.

    Seven even reached number one, while Standing Next to You and 3D charted at number five. Jungkook became the first K-pop solo artist to spend 68 weeks on the Hot 100 chart.

    His album GOLDEN also made waves by debuting at number two on the Billboard 200, marking Jungkook as the first Asian solo artist to achieve this and the first to chart for 24 consecutive weeks.

    Jungkook’s success continues as he has earned six nominations in five categories at the 2024 Billboard Music Awards (BBMAs), including Top Song Sales Artist, Top Selling Song (for Standing Next to You), Top Global K-Pop Artist, Top Global K-Pop Song (for Standing Next to You and 3D), and Top K-Pop Album (GOLDEN).
