Furthermore, "Seven" has made significant strides on South Korea's largest music platform, Melon. It reached the top of the main "Top 100" chart in just 11 hours, setting the record for the fastest solo track to do so in 2023. It also became the first male idol song in 2023 to achieve the top spot on the "Top 100" and set a record for being number one for a cumulative 100 hours.
On another note, Jungkook has made waves in the U.S. with "Seven," entering the Billboard's main singles chart "Hot 100" at number one and maintaining a position within the top 30 for five consecutive weeks.
