BTS’s Jungkook is making headlines again! He’s just set a new record on Spotify, becoming the first Asian solo artist to have all 18 songs on his profile surpass 100 million streams each. This monumental achievement is a first for both K-pop and Asian music as a whole.
The 18 tracks hitting the milestone include: "Seven", "Standing Next to You", "Left and Right", and many more.
International media outlet Oneily Vibe reports Jungkook joins the ranks of pop icons Billie Eilish and Harry Styles as only the third artist in Spotify history to achieve this feat.

"Seven" has been officially registered in the Guinness World Records for four global records: most weekly streams, fastest song to reach 100 million streams, and fastest to hit 1 billion streams.
Additionally, he’s the first Asian solo artist to have three songs with over 1 billion streams: "Seven", "Left and Right", and "Standing Next to You". Songs like "Dreamers" and "Stay Alive" also reached the billion mark in record-breaking time.
