On May 7 (Korean time), UK Guinness World Records announced on its official website that Jungkook, a member of BTS achieved 1 billion streams in the 'shortest' period on Spotify."
Guinness said, "Jungkook has achieved a landmark record of 1 billion streams on Spotify with just three different tracks."
Guinness said that Jungkook's 'Stay Alive' for webtoon 'Seven FATES: CHAKHO' OST , 'Left and Right'(a collaboration song with American singer Charlie Puth), and 'Dreamers', the official soundtrack of the FIFA World Cup in Qatar, led to 1 billion streaming in 409 days on Spotify.
It is also said that this record is 2 days shorter than BLACKPINK Lisa, who was previously announced as a K-pop solo artist (female) who achieved 1 billion streams in the shortest period on Spotify. 
In the 2022 year-end settlement announced by Spotify, Jungkook was the only solo artist to be listed in the top 10 along with outstanding K-pop groups enjoying top-notch popularity, ranking first as the most listened-to K-pop solo singer of the year.
