In a resounding affirmation of Jungkook’s prowess, his solo masterpiece “Seven” featuring Latto made an extraordinary entrance onto the Billboard scene last month.

This unprecedented triple triumph resonated as a resounding proclamation of Jungkook’s indomitable presence in the music world.
“Seven” Matches the “Dynamite” Record
Now, Jungkook’s “Seven” has joined the ranks of BTS’s iconic track “Dynamite” in a display of sheer dominance. As the week ending on August 19 unfolded, “Seven” maintained its unyielding grip on the No. 1 spot on both the Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts for an impressive fourth consecutive week. This milestone crowns Jungkook as the trailblazing Korean solo artist to command the summit of either chart for an extended period, setting a precedent that reverberates across the music landscape.
A Historic Tandem at No. 1
The resounding impact of “Seven” and “Dynamite” transcends boundaries, etching their names in history as the only two songs by Korean artists to reign at No. 1 on Billboard’s Global 200 for four consecutive weeks. This monumental achievement stands as a testament to the global resonance of BTS’s music and Jungkook’s indelible mark on the industry.
Resurgence on Billboard’s Hot 100
