BTS member Jungkook has illuminated his status as a global pop star by achieving an impressive feat on the world's largest music streaming platform, Spotify. According to Spotify's '2023 Wrapped' year-end recap campaign, Jungkook recorded a total of 22 billion streams throughout the year, setting a record as the 'most' among solo K-pop artists.
In the year-end chart section, 'Top Tracks of 2023,' which ranks the most streamed songs globally, Jungkook's 'Seven' secured the 4th position. He stood shoulder to shoulder with international pop stars like Miley Cyrus, SZA, and Harry Styles, proving himself as one of the top 5 male artists who captivated the global audience.
Additionally, Jungkook's personal Spotify account, created last year, has accumulated over 38 billion streams in total (before filtering). This achievement stands as both the 'first' and 'shortest' record in the history of solo K-pop artists, showcasing his unparalleled influence and power in the global music market.
Jungkook further solidified his impact by becoming the 'first' solo K-pop artist to record over 40 million monthly listeners, a crucial indicator of an artist's current popularity, where each listener is counted only once per month.
With his song 'Seven,' Jungkook made history by surpassing 100 million streams (before filtering) within an unprecedented timeframe of less than six days, achieving the 'shortest' period to reach 1 billion streams (before filtering) globally, officially entering the Guinness World Records.
In addition to Spotify achievements, Jungkook's success extended to major charts worldwide. His song 'Seven' topped the Billboard Hot 100 as number 1, while '3D' and 'Standing Next to You' secured the 5th position each, and 'Too Much' claimed the 44th position. Moreover, Jungkook debuted on the UK Official Singles Chart with 'Seven' at 3rd place, '3D' at 5th, 'Standing Next to You' at 6th, and 'Too Much' at 10th, marking a golden streak of success.
