BTS’ Jungkook’s debut solo single, “Seven,” has soared to the top position on U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart. This achievement marks Jungkook as the second Korean act and BTS member to secure the coveted Hot 100 top spot, following Jimin’s triumphant “Like Crazy,” which dominated the charts in April.
This achievement also makes him the first Korean solo artist in history to dominate the three biggest music charts of Billboard. Additionally, he has debuted at the number one spot on the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts this week.
According to Billboard, “Seven” becomes the 68th song to debut at number one upon entering the Hot 100 chart since its inception.
Jungkook acknowledged this milestone on Tuesday morning by posting on the fan community platform, Weverse. He expressed, “Let’s aim even higher.”
But that’s not all. It is indeed a remarkable day for all ARMYs as BTS leader RM’s Indigo album has also reentered Billboard’s top-selling albums chart, securing the third spot, coinciding with the release of the vinyl version of his solo album. Furthermore, RM reenters this week’s Billboard 200 chart at No. 53.
Currently, while waiting to complete their military enlistment, BTS members are pursuing solo activities.
