Yesterday, Billboard Magazine announced a major achievement for Jungkook, the beloved Maknae of BTS, with his latest digital single "Never Let Go" storming into the Hot 100 chart at number 97 for this week. Released on June 7, the track marks Jungkook's seventh solo entry on the world-famous chart, solidifying his position as a record-breaker among K-pop soloists and a pioneering K-pop idol for western audiences.
Notably, Jungkook stands as the sole Korean solo artist to claim three spots in the Hot 100's top 10. "Never Let Go" soared onto the Hot 100 driven purely by its streaming numbers and the engagement generated by its lyric video, all achieved without traditional promotional efforts due to his current stint in the South Korean military.
This latest milestone underscores Jungkook's and BTS's enduring popularity worldwide, reaffirming their ability to captivate audiences across the globe with each new release. As fans eagerly embrace "Never Let Go," it's clear that Jungkook's influence in music continues to expand, setting new benchmarks with every chart-topping success.
With each release, Jungkook gives fans something to get excited about! Fans are loving each release and it is obvious that his sound is received well all across the world. This release was great, but we are already looking forward to what he will release next once he returns home.
