BTS’s Jungkook has set a new record on the Billboard Hot 100!

On June 17 local time, Billboard announced that Jungkook’s new fan song “Never Let Go” had debuted at No. 97 on its Hot 100 chart, which ranks the most popular albums in the United States.

Jungkook is now the first K-pop soloist in history to chart seven different songs on the Hot 100. Before “Never Let Go,” he entered the chart with his “7 Fates: CHAKHO” OST track “Stay Alive” (produced by Suga), his Charlie Puth collab “Left and Right,” “Seven,” “3D,” his Kid LAROI and Central Cee collab “Too Much,” and “Standing Next to You.”

“Never Let Go” also debuted at No. 3 on Billboard’s Digital Song Sales chart this week, meaning it was the third best-selling song of the week in the United States.

Additionally, the song entered Billboard’s Global Excl. U.S. chart at No. 12 and the Global 200 at No. 20, while Jungkook re-entered the Artist 100 at No. 28—marking his 33rd non-consecutive week at the chart.

Congratulations to Jungkook on his historic achievement!
