Jungkook of BTS surpassed the 1 billion mark on YouTube Music with his solo single, “Seven (feat. Latto).”
He is the only K-pop solo male artist to log 1 billion streams on both Spotify and YouTube Music with a single song and did so with his first solo effort.
“Seven” made a chart-topping debut on Billboard’s Hot 100 and spent 15 weeks on the main singles chart. It hit the UK’s Official Singles Top 100 at No. 3 and enjoyed a 14-week stay.
The UK garage pop tune reigned atop Billboard’s Global excl. US and Global 200 for nine and seven weeks straight, respectively. Jungkook maintains the record streak for an Asian soloist on both charts, with the track still charting in its 84th and 83rd weeks.
