Jungkook creates new record

In a major milestone that has set the global music world alight, BTS’ Jungkook has been confirmed as the first K-pop soloist and fastest Asian artist to cross 9.9 billion total streams on Spotify.

According to data tracked on November 10, 2025 by kworb.net, Jungkook’s career tally on Spotify stood at 9,900,143,415 streams. Of this, 8.4 billion came from his lead credits, 3.5 billion from his solo works, and 1.4 billion from collaborations.

Fans around the world erupted in celebration. Trending hashtags like #CongratulationsJungkook and #GlobalPopStar flooded X (formerly Twitter). “#Jungkook has now surpassed 9.9 BILLION streams on Spotify, becoming the Most Streamed K-pop Soloist & Fastest Asian Act to reach this. CONGRATULATIONS JUNGKOOK GLOBAL POP STAR JUNGKOOK #9_9BillionForJungkook,” tweeted a fan.

The timing of this achievement is particularly impressive. Despite his recent mandatory military enlistment, Jungkook’s momentum shows no signs of slowing. Many fans noted that he achieved this with only one full-length solo album released — Golden (2023).
