In a groundbreaking feat, BTS's Jungkook continues to make waves on the Billboard charts, solidifying his status as a trailblazing Korean soloist. As of the week of January 6, 2024, Jungkook's solo debut album, "GOLDEN," maintains an impressive position within the top 50 of the Billboard 200, securing the No. 46 spot in its eighth consecutive week on the chart.

Jungkook's remarkable achievement extends beyond the Billboard 200, as he becomes the first Korean solo artist in history to spend eight consecutive weeks in the top 50. Furthermore, he clinches the title of the first K-pop soloist to chart for an impressive 20 weeks on Billboard's Artist 100, holding a steadfast position at No. 35 for the week.

His title track, "Standing Next to You," continues its dominance, securing the No. 97 spot on Billboard's Hot 100 for an eighth consecutive week and maintaining a robust presence at No. 5 on the Digital Song Sales chart, marking it as the fifth best-selling song in the United States for the week.

"GOLDEN" sees a resurgence on other Billboard charts, climbing to No. 10 on the Top Current Album Sales chart and securing the No. 13 spot on the Top Album Sales chart in its eighth week on both fronts.

Jungkook's influence extends to the Pop Airplay chart, where multiple songs make a significant impact. His collaborations with The Kid LAROI and Central Cee, namely "Too Much" at No. 19 and "3D" (featuring Jack Harlow) at No. 22, demonstrate the artist's versatility. Meanwhile, "Standing Next to You" reaches a new peak at No. 34 in its second week on the chart.

On the global stage, Jungkook maintains a formidable presence on both of Billboard's global charts. "Seven" (featuring Latto) secures No. 22 on the Global Excl.
