As 2023 came to an end, Jungkook proved his worldwide supremacy in the music industry. With every new track, he not only topped the Billboard charts continuously, but he also had enormous success on iTunes across the globe. Jungkook made history at the end of the year when he became the only artist to have multiple songs simultaneously ranked in the top 10 best-selling downloads in the US.
US year-end data indicates that Jungkook did exceptionally well with Seven and Standing Next to You. The Golden Maknae is now the only artist with multiple appearances in the US Top 10 downloads, thanks to these two tracks.
The title tune, Standing Next to You, was released in all English on BTS’s debut solo album, GOLDEN, on November 3. This song marked a significant milestone for the idol in addition to setting a new Billboard record.
The youngest member of the seven-piece South Korean boy band has been making waves since releasing his debut solo album. From being sceptical of his own project’s prospects at first, Jungkook has become one of the industry’s leading lights.
Prior to wrapping up its year-end statistics, Billboard announced on December 27 that Jungkook’s song Standing Next to You had taken the top spot on the Digital Song Sales chart once again. With this feat, he matched Miley Cyrus and her viral TikTok sensation, Flowers, for the fifth time at the top.
RM, Jungkook, V, Suga, Jimin, Jin, J-Hope, and Suga are the seven members of the boy band HYBE who are now serving their mandatory military service in South Korea. They intend to get back together in 2025. In the meantime, J-Hope and Suga will come after Jin, the oldest, who is scheduled to return in 2024 and is hinting at a possible new song release.
