BTS's Jungkook has been constantly making headlines this week, and on October 14, 2023, he made yet another record. As per Soompi, the SEVEN singer's debut solo album GOLDEN surpassed 1 billion streams on Spotify even before its release, which is slated for November 3, 2023.

The upcoming album contains eleven tracks, two of which have already been released. The track SEVEN (feat. Latto), which was the artist's debut solo single and was released on July 14, 2023, has accumulated over 900 million streams on Spotify. His second pre-released single, 3D (feat. Jack Harlow), has surpassed over 100 million Spotify listens and has currently clinched the top spot on the Spotify charts.

Fans were overjoyed at the BTS singer's winning streak. Celebrating this achievement, an ARMY @SweetBunnyCooki lauded Jeon Jungkook as the "King," which seems justified considering his accomplishments, which don't seem to cease anytime soon.

It is noteworthy that the 26-year-old Jungkook's solo debut album is set to be released on November 3, 2023. GOLDEN broke multiple records even before its official debut, which goes on to prove the BTS member's immense musical prowess and global influence. The two pre-released tracks from GOLDEN have smashed multiple records on their own merits.

SEVEN featuring the Grammy-nominated rapper Latto, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 right upon its release on July 14, 2023. The Still With You singer's latest English single, 3D, featuring Jack Harlow, replaced its own predecessor—SEVEN—and has been sitting at No. 1 on the Spotify charts since October 3, 2023. As a result, fans flooded social media and lavished praise on the Grammy nominee.
