BTS's Jeon Jungkook has impressively clinched two #1 spots on Billboard charts with his latest single ‘Seven,’ featuring renowned American rapper and singer, Latto. The song has soared to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 and the Billboard Global 200 singles chart. JK also topped the Billboard Global (excluding US) charts, making the artist's single the top track on three Billboard charts.  Jungkook has distinguished himself as one of only two Kpop solo artists to accomplish this milestone of bagging a #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 char with their debut - the other being none other than BTS's Jimin!


In celebration of this monumental achievement, BigHit Music announced, “'Seven (feat. Latto)' debuted at #1 on the HOT 100! We're always grateful for your love and support #BTSARMY.” Jungkook himself expressed his exhilaration on Weverse, posting, “Let’s go higher!”


This victory is especially significant as it marks Jungkook's inaugural solo release, which has been met with an overwhelming outpouring of affection and endorsement from his fans. Jungkook recently completed promotional activities in the United States and the United Kingdom, mesmerizing audiences live performances of 'Seven' as well as past songs like 'Dynamite' and 'Euphoria.'


The hit single 'Seven' was released in both 'Clean' and 'Explicit' versions, catering to the diverse preferences of his worldwide fans. Additionally, the choreography video for the single and Jungkook's sleek dance moves have been generating buzz online, receiving applause from ARMYs.

Jungkook is the second BTS member to score a Hot 100 number 1 debut after Jimin's 'Like Crazy'. Together with BTS, the Golden Maknae now has a career total of seven number 1 hits, including 'Life Goes On,' 'Dynamite,' and 'My Universe' with Coldplay.

Jimin also posted a congratulatory photo of Jungkook topping the Billboard Hot 100 chart on Instagram. Kim Namjoon also posted a hilarious photo of his '7' ankle tattoo along with a congratulatory message for Jungkook. As expected, the Bangtan boys always support each other in all their personal and musical endeavours!
