Jungkook of BTS continues to shatter records on the U.S. Billboard charts, showcasing his unrivaled presence as a global pop star.
According to the latest charts released by the American music media outlet Billboard for the week of January 17, 2026, Jungkook's solo debut single "Seven" ranked 145th on the Global 200 chart. This is a three-spot climb from the previous week, demonstrating its enduring power to climb back up the charts long after its initial release. Notably, the song has set a monumental record of 128 consecutive weeks on the chart, the first and longest for any Asian group or solo artist.
Jungkook's performance was even more prominent on the Global (Excl. U.S.) chart. "Seven" jumped 11 spots from the previous week to land at number 79. With this, Jungkook has successfully charted for 130 consecutive weeks, a first for an Asian solo artist, once again proving his status as a world-class superstar.
His performance on sub-charts is equally impressive. "Seven" re-entered the Billboard Korea Hot 100 at number 96. On the Global K-Songs chart, he demonstrated his star power by charting three songs simultaneously: "Seven" (No. 16), "Standing Next to You" (No. 54), and "3D" (No. 64). Notably, "Seven" took the number 1 spot on the Billboard Vietnam Hot 100, showing his immense influence in the Southeast Asian market.
Previously, "Seven" debuted at number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, the main singles chart, and remained there for 15 weeks. It also left a massive footprint by ranking number 1 for nine consecutive weeks on the Global (Excl. U.S.) chart and seven consecutive weeks on the Global 200. Furthermore, it conquered the European market by becoming the first song by a K-pop soloist to spend 14 consecutive weeks on the UK Official Singles Chart.
His performance on Spotify, the world's largest music streaming platform, is also overwhelming. "Seven," which has stayed on the Weekly Top Songs Global chart for 130 weeks, became the first song by an Asian artist to surpass 2.73 billion cumulative streams.
By dominating titles such as "the first" and "the longest" in major global music markets, Jungkook is solidifying his position as a solo artist watched by the entire world, moving beyond his role as a member of an idol group.
