BTS' Jungkook has topped Spotify's global daily chart of the top songs with his debut solo single "Seven."


The world's largest streaming platform on July 14 said the song landed atop the chart with 15,995,368 streams on the day of its release.  


The track's instrumental version came in 65th on the same chart, while his previously released solo tracks "Still With You" finished 54th and "My You" 113th.

"Jungkook is the first Korean solo singer to debut straight to No. 1 on the Spotify global chart," the boy band's management company Big Hit Music said. "'Seven' had the most streams by any new song on the chart in history." 


The track also claimed the top spot on the iTunes Top Song charts in 106 nations including the U.S., U.K., Canada, Germany and France. Its three versions also entered Japan's Oricon Daily Digital Single Ranking, with the "clean" version No. 1, "explicit" No. 2 and "instrumental" No. 4.

In Korea, the song conquered the largest domestic platform Melon's Top 100 chart within 11 hours, making Jungkook the male soloist with the fastest rise to the peak.
