Released in November 2023, GOLDEN celebrated its one-year anniversary by selling a massive 1.774 million copies, giving it the 21st spot on the global chart compiled by Media Traffic. Not only did it climb up the rankings from last year, but it also became the best-selling K-pop solo album in the U.S. for two years in a row.

In 2023, GOLDEN ranked 33rd on the United World year-end chart with 1.519 million in sales, showing an increase both in sales and ranking for 2024. The album's rise reflects Jungkook's immense popularity and the love from fans worldwide.

But that's not all! Jungkook's solo tracks have been dominating the charts too. His single Seven topped the United World chart's track category for an incredible 10 weeks in a row, and 3D also hit the top spot, proving his undeniable music power.

In addition to its success on the global charts, GOLDEN has achieved Platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) after selling over 1 million units in the U.S., making it clear that Jungkook's solo career is truly unstoppable!

BTS’s Jimin is once again proving his global dominance, especially in Japan, where his solo music continues to break records!

Jimin's hit song "Who", from his second album MUSE, has just been awarded the prestigious Gold streaming certification from the Japan Record Association (RIAJ).

The Japan Record Association certifies music based on total streams, with Gold for 50 million streams, Platinum for 100 million, and Diamond for a massive 500 million.

This achievement adds another significant milestone to Jimin’s growing solo career.

Previously, Jimin also earned a Platinum certification for his first album FACE (for 250,000 units shipped) and a Gold certification for MUSE (for over 100,000 units shipped).

With the Gold streaming certification for "Who", Jimin now holds a total of three prestigious certifications from the Japan Record Association, solidifying his place as a solo artist.

Not only that, but "Who" made waves on the Billboard charts, staying on the Billboard Hot 100 for an impressive 33 weeks, setting a record for the longest-charting K-pop solo song! It also spent 32 weeks on the Billboard Japan Hot 100, showing just how much love fans have for his music.

Jimin’s solo success doesn’t stop there, as GOLDEN also spent 20 weeks on the Billboard Japan Hot Albums chart, and Jimin continues to dominate the Billboard Japan Artist 100, where he has now charted for 47 weeks! Clearly, Jimin’s popularity is unstoppable!
