BTS Jungkook's solo album title track 'Standing Next to You' has remained on the U.S. Billboard main singles chart, the 'Hot 100', for six consecutive weeks.
As of December 19 (local time), 'Standing Next to You' was listed at No. 99 in the latest chart, dropping 27 spots from the previous week.
Jungkook has also made it into the U.S. Billboard main album chart 'Billboard 200' at No. 41 with his solo album 'GOLDEN', marking his sixth consecutive week on the chart.
Additionally, on the 'Billboard 200', other K-pop acts have made their presence known. ATEEZ's second full album 'THE WORLD EP. FIN: WILL' ranked 24th, Stray Kids' 'MAXIDENT' secured the 46th spot, ENHYPEN's 'ORANGE BLOOD' was at 118th, and NewJeans' 'Get Up' at 138th.
The enlistment of BTS members RM, V, Jimin, and Jungkook this month, leading to all members being on military duty, has brought renewed attention to their songs from years past. The 2017 release 'Spring Day' recorded No. 5 on Billboard's 'Digital Song Sales', while the 2018 release 'Outro: Tear' appeared at No. 22 on the same chart.
Moreover, on the 'World Digital Song Sales' chart, 'Spring Day' took the top spot, 'Outro: Tear' was second, the debut song 'No More Dream' sixth, and the track 'Louder than bombs' from their fourth album ranked eighth.
Among these, 'Spring Day', a song about waiting to reunite with a distant friend and not losing hope, has been interpreted as reflecting the wishes of 'ARMY' (BTS's fandom) waiting for BTS, as evidenced by its chart position.
