BTS’s Jungkook’s Record-Breaking Achievement on Spotify

Jungkook’s personal Spotify account has recently reached over 15 million followers, just 2 years and 4 months after its creation. This impressive achievement was accomplished in less than a year since his debut as a solo artist, solidifying his status as a ‘global icon.’

Based on reports from reputable global media sources such as ‘Viral Takes’ and ‘EXECUTIVE MEDIA,’ Jungkook has become the fastest Asian artist to reach 15 million followers on Spotify.

Despite not engaging in any official group or solo activities recently, Jungkook has maintained a consistent monthly listener count of 23 million. This is a significant measure of an artist’s current popularity, as it only counts each listener once. It is a testament to his strong influence and global presence as an artist.

In the past, Jungkook became the initial K-pop soloist to exceed 40 million monthly listeners on Spotify. He additionally established a milestone as the quickest Asian soloist to amass over 570,000 followers within 24 hours after creating his personal account.

In addition, Jungkook’s Spotify account has set new records by surpassing 6.4 billion cumulative streams (before filtering), making him the fastest K-pop artist to achieve this milestone. He is also the first solo K-pop artist to accomplish this feat.

During Spotify’s ‘2023 Wrapped’ year-end campaign, Jungkook set a record for the highest number of streams by a K-pop solo artist, with a total of 2.2 billion. Furthermore, in just one year since his solo debut in July, Jungkook has amassed nearly 100 million listeners.

Jungkook has achieved four Guinness World Records, including being the fastest K-pop solo artist to reach 1 billion streams with only three songs (‘Dreamers,’ ‘Left and Right,’ and ‘Stay Alive’), holding the record for the highest weekly streams for a male artist’s track with ‘Seven’ at 89,748,171 streams (after filtering), being the quickest track to reach 100 million streams on Spotify (after filtering), and being the fastest to reach 1 billion streams on Spotify.
