Jungkook, a member of BTS, has made history with his solo album ‘GOLDEN’, becoming the first album by an Asian artist to reach 1 billion streams on Spotify in 2024. Released in November of the previous year, ‘GOLDEN’ quickly demonstrated its global appeal and influence, setting a record not just for K-pop solo artists but also among albums from Asian musicians on the world’s largest music streaming platform, Spotify.
In addition to this milestone, ‘GOLDEN’ also holds the record for the fastest Asian solo artist’s studio album to surpass 3.2 billion streams pre-filter on Spotify, emphasizing Jungkook’s strong individual impact in the music industry.

Moreover, Jungkook’s Spotify profile showcases over 5.5 billion streams across all credits, underscoring his nickname as a “record maker.” The album ‘GOLDEN’ consists of 11 tracks with notable streaming numbers, such as ‘Seven’ with 1.55 billion streams and ‘Standing Next to You’ with 550 million streams, contributing significantly to his landmark streaming total.
