But they were not the only successful themes, as four of his solo songs also managed to get high numbers, such as ‘3D‘, ‘Standing Next to You‘, ‘Dreamers‘, and ‘Euphoria‘. This took Jungkook to have 5.2 billion streams on his personal Spotify account.
All these historical achievements, including his solo album ‘Golden‘ reaching a staggering 3 billion streams, led the singer to be crowned Spotify Global Music Icon despite being currently in the military service, as his popularity is still in force.
