BTS Jung-kook continued his record-breaking streak with his debut solo single 'Seven,' entering Billboard's 'Global (Excluding U.S.)' chart for the 158th time overall.

Jung-kook's 'Seven' ranked No. 185 on Billboard's August 1 'Global (Excluding U.S.)' chart, released by the U.S.-based music trade publication. It climbed six positions from Jeonju and has remained on the charts for 158 weeks since its release in 2023, marking the first and longest-running record for any song by an Asian solo artist.

On the same date, 'Seven' also appeared at No. 19 on Billboard Korea's 'Global K-Songs' chart for the 35th consecutive week. Jung-kook's other solo tracks, 'Standing Next To You' and '3D,' ranked at No. 71 and No. 88 respectively, both entering their 35th week on the chart with all three songs showing improved rankings.

Jung-kook achieved the No. 1 position across all three tracks—'Seven,' 'Standing Next To You,' and '3D'—on the 'Global (Excluding U.S.)' chart, which aggregates online streaming and digital sales data from over 200 countries and regions worldwide excluding the United States. The same three songs also reached No. 1 on the 'Global 200' chart, which includes data from over 200 countries and regions globally including the U.S.

After debuting at No. 1 on Billboard's main singles chart 'Hot 100,' 'Seven' remained on the chart for 15 weeks. It entered the UK Official Singles Chart 'Top 100' at No. 3 and became the first K-pop solo artist song to rank for 14 consecutive weeks. On the music streaming platform Spotify, it surpassed 3.04 billion streams—the first time any Asian artist's song or any song released in 2023 has reached this milestone.
