Jungkook’s song ‘Seven’ has become the fastest track to reach one billion streams on Spotify.
The BTS singer’s debut solo single, which was released in collaboration with rapper Latto, reached the milestone just 108 days after its release. It surpassed Miley Cyrus’ hit ‘Flowers’, which took 112 days to reach the billion stream mark when it was released earlier this year.
The streaming giant posted on X, the site formerly known as Twitter: “On October 30, Jungkook’s ‘Seven (feat. Latto)’ became the fastest song to reach 1 billion streams in Spotify history.”
Jungkook – who is set to release his album ‘Golden’ later this week – first teased that the album was “on its way” last month.
During an interview with Audacy, he was asked: “What’s next for you as you look towards the end of 2023?”
Jungkook replied: “My solo album… My solo album is on its way.”
In the same chat, the 26-year-old star revealed how he prepared to enter the studio with Jack Harlow for follow-up single ‘3D’.
He said: “When I was an intern, I used to listen to a lot of songs to prepare for our work. When I started working on this song, I got the feeling that it could really appeal to people who know the music of the early 2000s. There’s a sense of nostalgia. But I also felt that it could appeal to younger people with its sophisticated feel, and that kind of direction felt right to me. I also paid close attention to the pronunciation, the feel of the lyrics, and the overall content to bring that feeling to life.
