Fans across the world are definitely listening to Jungkook’s debut solo single “Seven” days a week!
And perhaps, even more.
Jungkook scores an all-kill in the Billboard charts after his song “Seven” featuring Latto topped the Billboard Hot 100, Billboard Global 200, and the Billboard Global Excl. US. This remarkable performance in the charts made him the first Asian Soloist to top the three charts all at the same time.

This unprecedented feat only further cemented his position as one of the global pop sensations of this generation, maybe even in history, especially after several achievements he already had in the past. He previously secured spots on the Billboard Hot 100 with, “Stay Alive,” and, “Left and Right,” with Charlie Puth. This record-breaking success including that of BTS and Jimin’s records places them side by side with other iconic and historic groups like The Beatles, The Black Eyed Peas, Genesis, and Destiny’s Child.
An even brighter future is surely ahead of the BTS star, especially with how he responded to this achievement on Weverse writing, “Let’s go even higher.”
