BTS members Jungkook and Jimin set Guinness World Records titles on Spotify and SoundCloud.  Guinness World Records announced on Aug. 2 that Jungkook’s debut solo single “Seven” (explicit version) emerged as “the most streamed track on Spotify in one week (male) with 89,748,171 streams.” Jungkook released “Seven (feat. Latto)” on July 14.  BTS' Jungkook and Jimin (Big Hit Music / Instagram)
“On the first day of release, ‘Seven’ logged 15,995,378 plays to become the second most streamed track on Spotify in 24 hours by a male vocalist, just shy of the 16,103,849 recorded by Harry Styles’s ‘As It Was’ on 1 April 2022,” Guinness World Records reported.  It added that “Seven” averaged about 11.6 million streams daily “on each of the seven days in the tracking week ending 20 July 2023.” In addition, Guinness World Records stated that “Seven” also set the record for “the fastest time for a music track to reach 100 million streams on Spotify (male), registering 100 million filtered streams on Spotify by 21 July 2023 – the eighth day after its worldwide release on 14 July – according to Spotify’s ‘Daily Top Songs Global.’” "’Flowers’ by Miley Cyrus also logged a cumulative 100 million filtered streams on Spotify on its eighth day of availability, 20 January 2023, starting with an unrivalled 96.03 million plays in the first week. This record category has now been split into male and female,” Guinness explained.  On the other hand, Jimin broke two records for his 2018 single “Promise.”  Guinness said last June 17, "Promise" emerged as “the most streamed track on SoundCloud with 330 million plays.” “It was the first single released by Jimin, and upon its release back in December 2018, it went on to become the most streamed track on SoundCloud in 24 hours. It was only back in May when Jimin set his last record for becoming the fastest solo K-pop artist to reach 1 billion streams on Spotify (male),” it added.  BTS’ “music has been streamed a massive 31,960,000,000 times as of 3 March, making them the most streamed male group on Spotify.” This year, Guinness awarded them the following records: Most followers on Instagram for a music group, mMost followers on Twitter for a music group and most followers on TikTok for a music group.
