In addition to debuting at ‘First‘ place on the ‘Hot 100‘ main singles chart of the prestigious U.S. music publication Billboard, ‘Seven’ maintained its dominance by holding the ‘First’ position for ‘9 consecutive weeks’ on the ‘Global (excluding the U.S.)’ chart and ‘7 consecutive weeks’ on the ‘Global 200’ chart.
Furthermore, ‘Seven’ received platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for selling over 1 million units in the United States.
Meanwhile, Jungkook continues his golden run in the United States. According to the latest chart released by Billboard on November 14th (Korean time), four songs from BTS Jungkook’s solo album ‘GOLDEN,’ including the title track ‘Standing Next to You,‘ solo single ‘Seven’ (feat. Latto), ‘3D’ (feat. Jack Harlow), and collaboration with The Kid LAROI and Central Cee ‘TOO MUCH,’ have entered the main song chart ‘Hot 100.’
