In a historic feat for K-pop, BTS’s Jungkook is rewriting the Billboard charts narrative with his solo endeavor, ‘GOLDEN.’ The album has now secured an impressive 16th place on the prestigious ‘Billboard 200,’ maintaining its stronghold for the third consecutive week. This accomplishment establishes Jungkook as the first K-pop soloist to chart within the top 20 for three consecutive weeks on the Billboard 200.
Not stopping there, Jungkook has also etched his name in the annals of the ‘Artist 100’ chart, claiming the 12th spot this week. His consistent presence on this chart for 15 weeks solidifies his status as a global music phenomenon.
The standout track from ‘GOLDEN,’ “Standing Next to You,” is not just a fan favorite but a commercial success. It has clinched the No. 73 position on the ‘Hot 100’ chart, maintaining a robust performance over three weeks. Even more noteworthy is its reign on the Digital Song Sales chart, where it has held the top spot for three consecutive weeks, making it the best-selling song in the United States during this period.
Jungkook’s collaboration prowess is also evident in the success of “TOO MUCH,” securing the 93rd position on the ‘Hot 100’ chart, showcasing the artist’s versatility and wide-ranging appeal.
The impact of ‘GOLDEN’ isn’t confined to the US borders alone; it resonates globally. On the ‘Global 200’ chart, “Standing Next to You” takes the 5th spot, while “Seven (feat. Latto)” secures the 7th position. Expanding the scope to ‘Global (excluding the US),’ “Seven” climbs to an impressive 2nd place, and “Standing Next to You” claims the 3rd position.
Jungkook’s fellow BTS members, Jimin and V, are also making waves on the Billboard charts. Jimin’s ‘FACE’ album, featuring the soulful track “Like Crazy,” maintains a consistent presence, while V’s ‘Layover’ showcases its impact in various album sales categories. The tracks “Slow Dancing” and “Love Me Again” from ‘Layover’ are holding their own on the charts, adding to the group’s collective success.
As BTS’s Jungkook continues to make history on the Billboard charts, his solo journey with ‘GOLDEN’ is not just a personal triumph but a testament to the global influence and enduring popularity of K-pop. The genre’s boundaries are continually expanding, and Jungkook is undoubtedly at the forefront of this musical revolution.
