BTS’s Jungkook’s “GOLDEN” Becomes 1st K-Pop Solo Album In Billboard 200 History To Chart For 10 Weeks
On January 17 local time, Billboard revealed that Jungkook’s solo debut album “GOLDEN” had successfully remained on the Billboard 200 at No. 43, marking its 10th consecutive week on the chart.
With this achievement, Jungkook has become the first Korean solo artist in history to chart an album for 10 weeks on the Billboard 200—and in those 10 weeks, “GOLDEN” hasn’t once dropped below the top 50.
Jungkook has also extended his own record as the longest-charting K-pop soloist on Billboard’s Artist 100, where he took No. 24 in his 22nd non-consecutive week on the chart.
Meanwhile, Jungkook’s title track “Standing Next to You” is now spending its 10th consecutive week on Billboard’s Hot 100, where it stayed strong at No. 76 this week.
Over on Billboard’s Pop Airplay chart, which measures weekly plays on mainstream Top 40 radio stations across the United States, Jungkook once again charted three songs in the top 40. His The Kid LAROI and Central Cee collab “Too Much” held relatively steady at No. 21, while “Standing Next to You” rose to a new peak of No. 31 and “3D” (featuring Jack Harlow) trailed close behind at No. 32.
Jungkook also landed multiple songs on both of Billboard’s global charts this week. On the Global Excl. U.S. chart, “Seven” (featuring Latto) came in at No. 5, “Standing Next to You” at No. 9, and “3D” at No. 32. On the Global 200, “Seven” ranked No. 13, followed by “Standing Next to You” at No. 14 and “3D” at No. 44.
Additionally, “Standing Next to You” took No. 8 on Billboard’s Digital Song Sales chart, meaning that it was the eighth best-selling song in the United States in its 10th week.
Finally, “GOLDEN” held onto its spot at No. 9 on Billboard’s Top Current Album Sales chart, in addition to staying strong at No. 12 on the Top Album Sales chart.
Congratulations to Jungkook!
