BTS' Jungkook has recently joined the club of one among eight artists in the world to have achieved a whopping 30 million monthly Spotify listeners from a single song not an album. As such, this makes him the eighth global artist and first Korean singer to accomplish this feat.

The Euphoria singer is now on the aforementioned list alongside Billie Eilish, Camila Cabello, Ava Max, Megan Thee Stallion, Olivia Rodrigo, Lil Nas X, and The Kid LAROI.

As of now, he has 35.6 million monthly listeners on his individual Spotify account. Moreover, he even has surpassed his own group, BTS, who currently stands at 35 million monthly listeners. Likewise, ARMYs are elated and are happy for BTS' Jungkook, taking to social media to congratulate him on his achievement.

SEVEN debuted with a massive 20.6 million streams on Spotify, making it the biggest song debut by a K-pop act in 2023 so far. It was followed by Bangtan's anniversary special song Take Two, which debuted with 9.5 million streams on Spotify. Following these two tracks, Jimin's Like Crazy and Set Me Free Pt 2 earned 7.9 and 6.7 million streams on debut, respectively.

Jungkook's SEVEN is now the fifth most streamed song by a K-pop soloist in Spotify history, surpassing PSY's Gangnam Style. Moreover, the song is the fourth most-streamed song by a K-pop act on Spotify in 2023. So far, FIFTY-FIFTY's Cupid has been the most streamed song of 2023, followed by New Jeans' OMG, Jimin's Like Crazy, and finally, Jungkook's SEVEN.
