The music video for "Seven," the first solo single by Jungkook of BTS, has surpassed 600 million views on YouTube. The milestone comes as BTS's world tour "Arirang" has officially launched, drawing heightened attention to individual members.
According to BigHit Music, the music video reached 100 million views just 10 days after its release in July 2023 and steadily gained viewers before crossing the 600 million mark on the afternoon of the 10th.
"Seven" is a passionate serenade expressing the desire to be with a loved one every day. Critics have praised its addictive melody, warm acoustic guitar sounds, and UK garage rhythms—an electronic music genre that originated in Britain in the early 1990s. The song previously achieved global success, reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 3 on the UK Official Singles Chart Top 100. In the music video, Jungkook portrays a man striving to prove his love to his partner throughout the week.
Meanwhile, BTS has dominated Spotify charts for three consecutive weeks with their fifth studio album "Arirang." All 14 tracks from the album charted on the Weekly Top Songs Global for three straight weeks, with 13 vocal tracks—excluding the interlude "No. 29"—ranking within the top 50.
On the Daily Top Songs Global chart, the group has maintained the No. 1 position for 21 consecutive days from March 20 to April 9, demonstrating sustained popularity. As of April 9, BTS became the artist with the most songs on both the daily and weekly Top Songs Global charts.
The group also swept the No. 1 positions in the United States, Japan, and China for three consecutive weeks on the Hanteo Chart World Chart for the first week of April (tracking period: March 30 to April 5). This comprehensive chart is compiled based on global data including album sales, streaming figures, and social media metrics by country and region.
