Published Aug 22, 2023 12:16 am

BTS’ Jungkook continued his dominance on Billboard’s two global charts while fellow member V’s new songs debuted in the top 10. 

Billboard announced that Jungkook’s “Seven (feat. Latto)” is No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. US charts dated Aug. 26. 

This is the fifth straight week that Jungkook grabbed the No. 1 spot on the two global charts.

The two charts started in September 2020  and “rank songs based on streaming and sales activity culled from more than 200 territories around the world, as compiled by Luminate. The Global 200 is inclusive of worldwide data and the Global Excl. U.S. chart comprises data from territories excluding the United States.”

“Chart ranks are based on a weighted formula incorporating official-only streams on both subscription and ad-supported tiers of audio and video music services, as well as download sales, the latter of which reflect purchases from full-service digital music retailers from around the world, with sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites excluded from the charts’ calculations,” according to Billboard. 

On the Billboard Global 200, Jungkook’s “Seven” garnered “104.3 million streams (down 7%) and 4,000 sold (down 9%) worldwide Aug. 11-17.”

“The song is just the second of 2023 to debut atop the Global 200 and spend at least its first five weeks at No. 1, after Miley Cyrus’ ‘Flowers’ tallied its first six weeks on the chart at the summit beginning in January,” Billboard added.

On the Billboard Global Excl. US chart, “Seven” tallied “95.1 million streams (down 7%) and 3,000 sold (down 4%) outside the U.S. Aug. 11-17.”

“As on the Global 200, the song is only the second this year to begin atop Global Excl. U.S. and spend at least its first five weeks at No. 1, following Miley Cyrus’ ‘Flowers’ (six weeks, starting in January),” it added. 

Meanwhile, BTS’ V’s “Love Me Again” and “Rainy Days” debuted at Nos. 6 and 8, respectively, on the Billboard Global Excl. US. 

“Love Me Again” had 37.3 million streams and 19,000 sold outside the US while “Rainy Days” accumulated 36 million streams and 18,000 in sales. 

V is the fifth BTS member to enter the Global Excl. U.S. top 10.
