BTS‘s Jungkook is proving his golden touch with his solo album ‘GOLDEN.’
As of August 23–29, ‘GOLDEN’ re-entered the UK Official Physical Albums Chart, landing at number 100.
Jungkook was the only K-pop solo artist on the chart during that period, and his album has made history as the first and longest-charting K-pop solo album, staying on the chart for an impressive 20 weeks.
When ‘GOLDEN’ was first released, it debuted at number 3 on the UK Official Main Albums Chart ‘Top 100,’ setting a record as the highest-ranking album by a K-pop solo artist. It stayed on the ‘Top 100’ for 8 weeks, the longest for any K-pop solo artist, and also debuted at number 1 on the Download Chart.
Jungkook has also made a mark on the Official Main Singles Chart with seven songs. His solo single ‘Seven’ reached 3rd place, ‘3D’ hit 5th, ‘Standing Next to You’ landed at 6th, and ‘TOO MUCH’ entered at 10th.
These songs, along with others like ‘Never Let Go’ (60th), ‘Stay Alive’ (89th), and ‘Left and Right’ (41st), show his consistent chart-topping power.
His song ‘Seven’ even earned the ‘BRIT Certified’ Silver certification for selling 200,000 units in the UK, making Jungkook the first K-pop solo artist to achieve this since Psy in 2014.
From August 30 to September 22, Jungkook will host the ‘GOLDEN: The Moments’ exhibition at Le Méridien Moxy in Myeong-dong, Seoul, where fans can relive his ‘golden moments.’
