Simultaneously, fellow BTS member Jungkook also made waves on Spotify, accumulating an impressive total of 2.5 billion streams. Remarkably, this achievement was realized in the shortest time for a K-pop solo artist. Jungkook's accomplishment comes from a collection of seven individual songs, including solo singles "Seven" and "3D," a collaboration with Charlie Puth titled "Left and Right," an official soundtrack for the 2022 Qatar World Cup titled "Dreamers," an original soundtrack song for the webtoon "Stay Alive," and self-written tracks "Still With You" and "My You."
