Jungkook, a member of the globally renowned boy band BTS, has achieved the number one spot in 2023 K-Pop solo artist streaming on Spotify, the world’s largest music streaming platform. According to ‘chart data’, a real-time music chart and update source, Jungkook amassed over 3.47 billion streams on Spotify in 2023 alone.
This achievement is highlighted as the most significant streaming year for a K-Pop solo artist in Spotify’s history. As of January 15, 2024, Jungkook’s personal Spotify account (profile) had recorded over 4.4 billion streams across all credits.
Jungkook’s record-breaking streaming count is both the fastest for any K-Pop artist and a first for a K-Pop solo artist on Spotify, demonstrating his immense popularity and influence on the platform. His Spotify account shows his first solo single “Seven” leading with over 1.3 billion streams, followed by the collaborative track “Left and Right” with over 860 million, the official soundtrack for the 2022 FIFA Qatar World Cup “Dreamers” with over
390 million, his second solo single “3D” with over 360 million, and the title track “Standing Next to You” from his solo album “GOLDEN” with over 300 million streams.
Moreover, Jungkook’s recent album “GOLDEN,” released in November last year, set a new record as the fastest Asian artist studio album to reach 2 billion streams on Spotify, achieving this milestone in just 42 days. His song “Seven” also made a remarkable impact globally, ranking 4th on Spotify’s ‘Top Tracks of 2023’ chart, a year-end compilation of the most streamed songs worldwide in 2023. “Seven” also made history on Spotify’s ‘Daily Top Songs Global’ chart by being the first and longest-running song by an Asian artist to hold the number one position for a total of 71 days, and it topped the ‘Weekly Top Songs Global’ chart for the longest duration by any male artist in 2023, spanning 9 weeks.
Jungkook’s exceptional streaming achievements include being the fastest K-Pop solo artist to reach 1 billion streams on Spotify with just three songs (“Dreamers,” “Left and Right,” “Stay Alive”), and setting a record for the fastest 1 billion streams for “Seven.” He also set four world records, including the highest streaming count for a male artist track in a week on Spotify’s global chart and the fastest track to reach 100 million streams, earning him official recognition in the Guinness World Records. These milestones underscore Jungkook’s significant impact and standing in the global music industry, particularly in the realm of K-Pop.
