The list of achievements continues, and here's a detailed overview.

Jungkook's album, "Golden", has achieved the status of being the top-selling album by a solo Korean artiste in the sales week history of the Billboard 200.

As of November 12, "Standing Next to You" from Golden made an impressive debut by securing the top spot on YouTube's Top Songs Global Chart, amassing 41 million streams.

Jungkook, recognized as the Billboard singer, seems poised to claim the title of Spotify's singer as well. Seven tracks from his debut album, including "Standing Next to You", "Seven", "3D", "Yes or No", "Too Much", "Please Don't Change" and "Hate You" are currently trending in the Global Spotify Top 200 list.
