BTS member Jungkook has once again demonstrated his musical prowess by spending 60 cumulative weeks on the Billboard Hot 100. He has become the first and only Asian solo artist to achieve this feat, which naturally makes him the first and only K-pop soloist to spend 60 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100.
Jungkook has been on a record-breaking spree since he debuted as a solo artist with the popular hit single Seven Feat. Latto. The title track, Standing Next to You, from his first solo album helped him reach this feat, as it rose two positions up to No. 85 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the 12th consecutive week.
It has left fans in excitement as they celebrate this memorable milestone on social media. A user on X praised the BTS maknae and said, “KING OF RECORDS."
