Jungkook of BTS is taking his time on the global chart.
According to the latest U.S. Billboard chart on the 17th, Jungkook ranked 71st on the main album chart 'Billboard 200' with his first solo album 'Golden'.
He has been in the charts for 14 consecutive weeks. He broke the record of longest entry as a K-pop soloist that he set himself. He maintained the same ranking as last week, proving his unreal popularity.
The title track "Standing Next to You" has been loved continuously. It has been on the main charts for 14 weeks. It ranked 81st on the chart.
"Standing Next to You" rebounded 13 notches from the previous week (94th). It has been on the chart for more than three months since it entered the 5th place.
Three songs ranked in the charts. Standing Next to You (31st), Seven (32nd), and 3D (38th) were ranked in the 'Global 200' chart.
In the 'Global (excluding the U.S.)' section, Seven ranked 15th. It went up six notches from the previous week. "Standing Next to You" ranked 22nd and 3D ranked 59th.
"Golden" is an album with the motif of the golden moment of solo artist Jungkook. It has collected all the prologues before the 'golden maknae' leaps into a global pop star.
"Standing Next to You" is a retro funk genre. It contains the message, "I will be with you no matter what adversity comes." It was popular for its near perfect performance.
Meanwhile, BTS, including Jungkook, is fulfilling their military service obligations. Full activities are scheduled for the second half of 2025.
