BTS's Jungkook continues to prove his global superstar status, breaking new records and leaving fans in awe.

On the latest Billboard chart (dated January 11), Jungkook’s smash hit "Seven" made a strong comeback, re-entering the Global 200 chart at #97. This milestone extends its reign to 77 weeks—the longest run ever by an Asian soloist!

But that’s not all. On the Global Excl. U.S. chart, "Seven" climbed to #61, making it 77 consecutive weeks on the chart. No other Asian solo artist has achieved such an incredible streak, solidifying Jungkook’s place as a true global phenomenon.

The Billboard global charts, which track streaming and sales data from over 200 countries, show just how much love "Seven" continues to receive worldwide. It remains the first and only song by an Asian soloist to stay on both the Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts for over 76 weeks.

Jungkook's achievements don’t stop there. "Seven" is also holding strong in Asia, ranking #87 on Billboard Japan's Streaming Songs chart for 77 weeks and maintaining its presence on the Philippines' Hot 100 at #52 for 28 weeks—making it the longest-charting K-pop track in the region.

Meanwhile, his debut solo album GOLDEN is still making waves, securing #73 on Billboard Japan’s Download Albums chart for its 48th week. Jungkook also ranked #64 on Billboard Japan’s Artist 100 chart, marking an impressive 84 weeks as one of the top artists.

Despite his military service, Jungkook’s music continues to dominate the charts. GOLDEN even made a surprise comeback on the Billboard 200 late last year, hitting #109 on the December 28 edition. With this, Jungkook extended his record as the K-pop soloist with the longest cumulative presence on the chart, now at 25 weeks.

In the U.S., GOLDEN also holds the title of the best-selling K-pop solo album for two years in a row. To top it all off, Jungkook made history at the Billboard Music Awards by winning three trophies over the past two years, making him the most awarded K-pop soloist in BBMA history.

Fans around the world are celebrating Jungkook’s unstoppable journey as he continues to make K-pop history with every move.
