BTS member Jungkook surpassed three billion streams on Spotify with his solo debut single Seven. The milestone, announced on June 23, 2026 by his agency BigHit Music, makes him the first Asian artist to achieve the feat with a single track in the platform's history.
Notably, Seven, from his album GOLDEN, is also the only song released globally in 2023 which crossed the three-billion-stream threshold.
