Jung Kook released “Seven” on July 14 and his song didn’t wait long before surpassing the previous record previously held by Miley Cyrus and her hit “Flowers”. It took 108 days for the South Korean artist to become the record holder for the song that most quickly reached the famous billion mark on Spotify. It was the platform itself that announced it on X/Twitter and it’s quite an achievement:
“On October 30, Jung Kook’s “Seven” (feat. Latto) became the fastest music in Spotify history to reach 1 billion streams”.
The BTS singer has been going solo for some time while waiting for the group’s return scheduled for 2025. The reason for this successful break? Compulsory military service, of course! But for his part, Jung Kook has not been idle. It is accompanied by the American rapper Latto that he breaks this record on the Swedish platform. The music video for “Seven” exceeds 266 million views on YouTube. Three months after its release, it still ranks in the world’s top 50 music videos and given the work, we understand why.
The impressive numbers that Jung Kook has managed to amass through his music reflect not only the South Korean’s musical influence but also the growing, if not overwhelming, influence of K-pop across the world. The singer will also release his first solo album Golden on November 3 with, in particular, Jack HarlowDJ Snake or Major Lazer encore.
