It also dominated the Billboard Global (excluding the U.S.) chart for 9 weeks in a row and topped the Global 200 chart for 7 weeks. Jungkook made history as the first Asian solo artist to chart continuously on both of these charts for a stunning 75 weeks.

In the UK, Seven entered the Official Chart’s Top 100 at number 3 and maintained a 14-week streak, becoming the first K-pop solo artist song to achieve such a feat.
