BTS’ Jungkook is making history even while serving in the military! On April 25, 2025, his debut solo album “Golden” smashed Spotify records, becoming the most-streamed album by an Asian male artist this year with a jaw-dropping 517 million streams.

With bangers like Seven, Standing Next to You, and 3D, Jungkook’s mix of pop-R&B-EDM proved he’s a solo king.

“Golden” wasn’t just a collection of catchy tracks, though—it was a career-defining flex. Featuring collabs with Latto, Jack Harlow, Major Lazer, and DJ Snake, Jungkook went global, showing off his full star power. Seven even debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, snatching American wigs. The album then topped the charts in South Korea and Japan, and it was a top 2 hit in the UK and the US.
Despite being released in 2023, JUNGKOOK’s “GOLDEN” is the most streamed album by an ASIAN MALE ACT on Spotify in 2025!
