Released in July 2023, Seven marked Jungkook's official debut as a solo artist. This was also the moment opening Golden Maknae's journey to conquer brilliant achievements, bearing his own personal mark.
With a catchy melody, smooth harmony combined with BTS's ѕєχy voice, and modern vocal handling, the song quickly became a global phenomenon, climbing to the top of the charts in more than 100 countries.
What's special is that, while most summer нιтs often fall into oblivion after just a few months, Seven has become a rare pop song that has maintained strong appeal for 2 years - soмєтнing that is almost unimaginable in the era of short-term digital music, where au∂ιєnce tastes change every week.
Two years since its debut, Seven continues to reap great success in the global music market, opening a new era for Asian music.
On June 25, 2025, Billboard officially confirmed that the song had stayed 100 consecutive weeks on both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. US charts - an unprecedented feat for any Asian solo artist.
This is not just an achievement but a declaration that an Asian artist can stand firm in the global pop music market - which has always been shaped by Western artists. Immediately after Billboard announced the 100-week milestone, fans around the world shared their pride, calling it "a historic moment not only for Jungkook, but for Asia".
Not only achieving good results on the Billboard chart, Seven also set a record on the Spotify platform when it surpαѕѕed 2.4 billion streams, becoming the first song by an Asian solo artist to achieve this achievement, and was also in the top 6 most streamed songs globally.
Every day, this song still has more than 2 million new streams, enough to maintain its position on Weekly Top Songs Global for 101 consecutive weeks. Compared to famous artists like Harry Styles (As It Was) or Dua Lipa (Levitating), Jungkook's achievements are not inferior, even surpαѕѕing in terms of global endurance.
Not only leading in terms of listening, Jungkook is also the one who redefines the standard of success for Asian artists. In the borderless era - where streaming and social networks blur geographical boundaries, Jungkook embo∂ιєs a new generation of artists: multilingual, multicultural, and able to connect globally through music.
On the other hand, the success of Seven is the starting point for Jungkook's other solo products to break records, such as:
- Standing Next to You: over 1.2 billion streams
- Left and Right (collaboration with Charlie Puth): 1 billion streams
- 3D: reaching 900 million streams
In total, Jungkook's personal Spotify page has now reached 9 billion streams, making BTS's youngest member the fastest Asian solo artist to reach this milestone in history, surpαѕѕing many names that once dominated the international playground such as Jay Chou or Hikaru Utada.
