"Congratulations Jungkook": Fans thrilled as SEVEN by the BTS idol surpassed 900 million Spotify streams and became the fastest song to mark this feat

As of October 14, 2023, BTS Jungkook has surpassed 900 million streams on Spotify for his debut single SEVEN (feat. Latto). He also made history by becoming the first Korean solo artist to achieve this feat within 92 days of the track's official release. Additionally, it took SEVEN fewer than 70 days to become the fastest single by a male artist to reach 700 million listens on Spotify.

On day 65, September 17, 2023, the pop song debuted and shattered the record previously held by British artist Harry Styles' As It Was. SEVEN was also the second-fastest track to be streamed 700 million times. Furthermore, SEVEN, released on July 14, 2023, also won Song of the Summer at the MTV VMAs 2023.

A fellow BTS ARMY and an X user, @erikinhapat1983, congratulated the BTS idol on his new feat on X, formerly Twitter.

Jungkook, of BTS fame, is now not just a solo artist but a huge success. He smashed records and had a tremendous breakthrough with his track SEVEN, which became an instant hit. In fact, in its first week of release, it not only performed well on the streaming site Spotify but also outperformed every other song.

"When talent meets hardwork": Fans hail Jungkook for making history with his solo debut single song SEVEN

SEVEN finished its first week on Spotify with a little less than 90 million plays—89.7 million to be exact. However, as per Chart Data, SEVEN (feat. Latto) had surpassed 100 million streams on Spotify in just six days of its release on July 14, 2023.

In fact, SEVEN has surpassed the combined streams of the next two most-streamed songs around the globe. Olivia Rodrigo's new single Vampire was ranked third on Spotify with 33.1 million plays in July 2023. Currently, SEVEN and 3D compete against one another for the top spot on Spotify, despite being by the same singer.

3D (feat. Jack Harlow) has surpassed other songs to become the new global streaming hit, replacing its own predecessor, SEVEN, on Spotify. The song had slightly more than 6.5 million Spotify-only streams on October 2, 2023. It rose to the pinnacle at No. 1 from No. 3, for the first time since its release on September 29, 2023.

Nevertheless, fans poured praise on BTS Jungkook and commented on the tweet by the X user, @chartdata, while others tweeted about the global megastar's individual accomplishments.

Beyond the worldwide chart, SEVEN also held the top spot on Spotify's charts in a number of other nations, demonstrating its supremacy. Also, Jungkook became the first K-pop act of any sort to accomplish this feat when the song debuted at No. 1 on the list of the most-streamed songs in the United States.

Even though SEVEN isn't a K-pop song in the strictest sense, as it is an English song featuring the American rapper Latto, the BTS idol is largely recognized for his work in the hip-hop and R&B genres.
