Guinness World Records (GWR) has officially certified that BTS’ Jungkook set a new record for the fastest time to reach one billion streams on Spotify. 

According to GWR, Jungkook achieved the feat in 109 days through his song “Seven (feat. Latto). 

“The “explicit version” of ‘Seven’ by Jungkook (South Korea, b. Jeon Jung-kook) feat. Latto (USA, b. Alyssa Stephens) reached 1 billion streams on Spotify on its 109th day of availability, 30 October 2023, following its worldwide release on 14 July 2023,” GWR announced on Nov. 6.

It said “Seven” erased “the 118-day male record held jointly by The Kid LAROI and Justin Bieber’s ‘Stay’ and ‘As It Was’ by Harry Styles, and it also snatched the overall ‘fastest’ crown from Miley Cyrus, whose ‘Flowers’ made it to 1 billion streams on its 112th day (4 May 2023).” 

“‘Seven’ debuted at No.1 on Spotify’s ‘Daily Top Songs Global’ chart on 14 July 2023 with 15,995,378 streams in its first 24 hours – the 21st highest single-day figure since data first became available on 1 January 2017. By 2 November 2023, ‘Seven’ had no fewer than eight entries in the chart’s 100 most streamed tracks in 24 hours (achieved consecutively, on 14–21 July), its first-week total of 89,748,171 had been beaten three times by just one song, ‘Flowers,’ and it had spent 68 days as Spotify’s most streamed daily track, in 10 different No.1 spells between 14 July and 29 October 2023, including 41 consecutive days from 29 July. ‘Seven’ had amassed 1,012,138,588 streams as of 2 November 2023,” GWR added. 

Spotify earlier declared that “Seven” became the fastest song to reach one billion streams on the platform. 

“On October 30, Jungkook's ‘Seven (feat. Latto)’ became the fastest song to reach 1 Billion streams in Spotify history,” Spotify announced on Oct. 31.

“Seven” was released on July 14 and it debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and spent weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. US charts. 

Jungkook released the solo album "Golden" on Nov. 3 and set a new record for first-day sales for a solo album.
