Jungkook’s debut studio album GOLDEN, released on November 3, 2023, through Big Hit Music, has achieved remarkable milestones. This all-English pop record, featuring collaborations with prominent artists such as Jack Harlow, Major Lazer, Latto, and DJ Snake, was met with generally favorable reviews from critics. The album's success has been underscored by its recent achievements in 2024.
GOLDEN has become the first album by a K-pop soloist to receive Silver certification in the UK. This notable accolade is a testament to Jungkook’s global appeal and the album’s broad reach. Additionally, the track "SEVEN," featuring American rapper Latto, has earned BRIT certification, breaking a decade-long silence and marking a significant achievement in the music industry.
The album's success extends beyond certifications. GOLDEN achieved a significant milestone by becoming the 10th album to reach 2 billion streams on Spotify in 2024, despite being released the previous year. This feat highlights the album's lasting impact and popularity among listeners.
In 2024, GOLDEN also emerged as the 4th most streamed studio album by a male artist for the year and the 1st by an Asian artist, further emphasizing Jungkook’s groundbreaking success in the global music scene.
The album, themed around the "golden moments" of Jungkook's solo career, was promoted with pre-release singles "Seven" and "3D," and included "Standing Next to You" released concurrently with the album. In September 2024, "Yes or No" was sent to Italian radio as the album's fourth single, continuing the album’s promotional momentum.
Congratulations to Jungkook on these historic accomplishments and the continued success of GOLDEN! 👏💖
