BTS’s Jungkook has made history with his first solo album, ‘GOLDEN,’ which has surpassed 3.5 billion streams on Spotify, marking a significant milestone for an Asian solo artist. Released in November last year, ‘GOLDEN’ recently crossed this impressive streaming number on the world’s largest music streaming platform.
Achieving 3.5 billion streams within just 205 days of its release, ‘GOLDEN’ showcases Jungkook’s immense global influence.

Furthermore, three tracks from ‘GOLDEN’ (Standing Next to You, Seven, 3D) have spent over 200 days on Spotify’s Daily Top Songs Global chart, another first for an Asian artist’s album.
The album has also remained on Spotify’s Weekly Top Albums Global chart for 30 consecutive weeks, the longest for any Asian solo artist. Individual tracks from ‘GOLDEN’ have seen significant streaming numbers: ‘Seven’ with 1.64 billion streams, ‘3D’ with 550 million, ‘Standing Next to You’ with 640 million, ‘Yes or No’ with 160 million, ‘Hate You’ and ‘Please Don’t Change’ each with 100 million, ‘Closer to You’ with 88 million, ‘Somebody’ with 82 million, ‘Too Sad To Dance’ with 77 million, and ‘Shot Glass of Tears’ with 76 million.
