BTS member Jungkook’s solo single “Seven” has returned to the U.S. Billboard charts, extending what Billboard described as a record-setting run for an Asian act.
According to Billboard’s latest charts dated Feb. 28, “Seven,” Jungkook’s first solo single, reentered the Global 200 at No. 192. The song has now spent 133 weeks on the chart, Billboard said, marking the first and longest such run for an Asian group or solo artist.
On the Global Excl. U.S. chart, “Seven” ranked No. 103 to log a 136th consecutive week, setting what the report called an unmatched record for an Asian solo artist.
The song also placed on Billboard Korea’s charts, ranking No. 70 on the Korea Hot 100 and No. 8 on Global K-Songs. On the Global K-Songs chart, Jungkook had three solo tracks listed at the same time: “Standing Next to You” at No. 43, “3D” at No. 62 and “Seven.”
Billboard previously reported that “Seven,” “3D” and “Standing Next to You” each reached No. 1 on both the Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts. It said Jungkook became the first solo artist worldwide to have three or more songs top both charts simultaneously within a single year.
On Spotify, “Seven” has remained on the Weekly Top Songs Global chart for 136 weeks, the longest run for an Asian solo artist, according to the report. The song has surpassed 2.8 billion cumulative streams, it said, making it the first track by an Asian artist — and the first among songs released in 2023 — to reach that mark.
“Seven” debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s main singles chart, the Hot 100, and stayed on the chart for 15 consecutive weeks, the report said.
