BTS Jung Kook's "Seven" ft. Latto Reigns Supreme for 9th Consecutive Week on Billboard Global 200 Excluding US Chart

In an unsurprising yet remarkable feat, BTS' Jung Kook continues to dominate the charts as his hit single "Seven" featuring Latto maintains its stronghold at the number one spot on the Billboard Global 200 Excluding US chart for the ninth consecutive week. Released on July 14, 2023, "Seven" made an explosive debut, setting multiple records and cementing Jung Kook's status as a global sensation. With a staggering 16 million streams, "Seven" shattered records for the highest opening-day streaming figures for a male artist collaboration in history, along with achieving the biggest debut of 2023. The track also made history by debuting at the top of the daily Global Spotify Chart, marking Jung Kook as the first K-pop artist to achieve this milestone and the first Korean solo artist to top the U.S. Spotify chart.

Surpassing BTS' own hit "Dynamite," which spent eight weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Global Excluding US chart, "Seven" now ties with four other artists for the sixth-longest streak at No. 1. The success of "Seven" extends beyond streaming numbers. Debuting at number one on the July 29 Billboard Hot 100 issue, the track marked the 68th number-one debut in Billboard chart history. Impressively, from July 14 through July 20, "Seven" sold 153,000 digital and CD singles and amassed 21.9 million streams, reaching 6.4 million listeners over the airwaves.

Notably, "Seven" made waves on various Billboard charts, debuting at numbers 30 and 33 on the Adult Pop Airplay and Pop Airplay charts, respectively. It also secured its position as the second best-selling digital song and the fourth-most-streamed song of its release week.

For Jung Kook, "Seven" represents a significant milestone, marking his first Hot 100 top-ten and number-one single. Following bandmate Jimin's success with "Like Crazy" in April, Jung Kook becomes the second BTS member to achieve a number-one single. With a remarkable 269,000 downloads sold and 217.1 million streams globally from July 14 through July 20, 2023, "Seven" debuted at the pinnacle of the Billboard Global 200 chart, narrowly edging out Miley Cyrus' "Flowers" for the biggest week for a song by a solo artist since the chart's inception.

Furthermore, "Seven" boasts the second-largest overall streaming week of all time, second only to BTS's own "Butter," which received 289.2 million streams in the week of June 5, 2021. Jung Kook's achievement in reaching No. 1 on the world singles list cements his position as a trailblazing artist, marking another milestone in BTS' unparalleled success on the global stage.
