Jung Kook (Big Hit Music)
As he embarks on his solo career, Jung Kook, one of the seven talented members of BTS, has received a heartwarming reception from fans worldwide. His debut single "Seven" has skyrocketed to success, earning a historic start on the Billboard Global 200 chart, where it debuts at an impressive No. 1 position.
The track's massive streams and sales have contributed to its chart-topping success, but it's the overwhelming support on streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple
In just its first week of release, "Seven" amassed a staggering 217.1 million streams globally, besting previously-set records and elevating Jung Kook to new heights as a solo artist. Billboard has confirmed that this remarkable feat grants him the distinction of having the largest streaming week ever for any solo musician.
While this accomplishment is no small feat, it came just shy of surpassing the overall record holder, BTS's summer smash hit, "Butter," which reached an unprecedented 289.2 million plays over two years ago. Jung Kook, is, of course, a member of BTS, so prior to his solo debut, he already held the honor of securing the largest streaming sum in a single frame.
Now, with "Seven," he can proudly boast the top two positions on Billboard's global chart, further solidifying his status as a powerhouse in the music industry.
The success of "Seven" extends beyond streaming numbers, as it also sold 269,000 copies worldwide during a time when digital buying has become less prevalent.
