BTS’s Jungkook Becomes First Asian Solo Artist With 18 Songs Surpassing 100 Million Streams on Spotify
BTS’s Jungkook has hit a massive new milestone on Spotify, becoming the first Asian solo artist to have every single song on his profile reach over 100 million streams. This incredible feat, confirmed by the World Music Awards, includes all 18 tracks under his name surpassing this huge streaming benchmark.
The list of songs crossing the 100 million streams mark features hits like "Seven," "Standing Next to You," "Left and Right," "3D," "Dreamers," "Stay Alive," and "Still With You," among others. This achievement is historic not only within K-pop but for all of Asian music globally.
When you look at the bigger picture, Jungkook is now in rare company, joining international pop stars Billie Eilish and Harry Styles as the only artists ever to have every original song on their Spotify profile hit the 100 million streams milestone, according to Oneily Vibe. It highlights just how huge Jungkook’s influence has become worldwide.
In terms of numbers, Jungkook’s total streams exceed 9.2 billion on Spotify alone, which is the fastest growth recorded for any Asian artist and a first for K-pop soloists. His mega-hit "Seven" has gone beyond 2.45 billion streams, smashing records as the fastest and first Asian song to reach that level. He’s also the first Asian soloist with three tracks—“Seven,” “Left and Right,” and “Standing Next to You”—each topping 1 billion streams.
A few other tracks like "Dreamers," "Left and Right," and "Stay Alive" hit 1 billion streams in record time, setting new standards in the global music scene that are nearly unmatched. Jungkook also set a peak of 40 million monthly Spotify listeners, the highest ever for a K-pop solo artist, and still currently holds a solid listener base with over 17.5 million monthly listeners.
His debut solo album GOLDEN has been just as successful. It made history as the first and longest-charting album by an Asian soloist on Spotify’s Weekly Top Albums Global chart, staying for 89 weeks straight. Meanwhile, "Seven" alone has remained on the Top Songs Global weekly chart for an incredible 105 weeks.
On top of all this, "Seven" has earned four Guinness World Records, covering most weekly streams (89,748,171 filtered), fastest to reach 100 million streams, fastest to hit 1 billion streams, and more. This isn’t just about numbers; it’s about Jungkook breaking new ground and proving K-pop solo artists can dominate on the world’s biggest music platform.
By setting these records, Jungkook has firmly established himself as one of the top global solo artists and a true ambassador for K-pop internationally. His success on Spotify alone speaks volumes about his huge global reach and the strong connection he has with fans worldwide.
