Latto)&quot; debuted at No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, while also peaking at No. 3 on the UK Official Singles Chart Top 100. The song remained on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart for 15 weeks and dominated both the Billboard Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts for seven consecutive weeks, another achievement that marked a first for an Asian solo artist. The success of &quot;Seven (feat. Latto)&quot; has also earned Jung Kook multiple recognitions from Guinness World Records. Among the four Guinness World Records attached to the song is the title for most-streamed track by a male artist on Spotify in a single week, after recording 89,748,171 streams.  The music video for &quot;Seven (feat. Latto)&quot; continues to grow in popularity as well, with total views surpassing 619 million as of June 2026. <div><iframe width="1015" height="571" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/QU9c0053UAU" title="정국 (Jung Kook) &#x27;Seven (feat.
