Jungkook's 'Seven' re-enters Global 200

Jungkook’s “Seven” returned to Billboard’s Global 200 chart dated May 23 at No. 182, according to a STARNEWS report published Sunday from Seoul. The South Korean outlet said the 2023 solo single reached 143 cumulative weeks on the Global 200 this week. STARNEWS also said the song logged 148 weeks on Billboard’s Global Excl. U.S. chart in the same tracking week. Billboard’s artist pages for Jung Kook and Jungkook remain active and list “Seven” among his charting songs. Billboard’s chart explainer says the Global 200 ranks songs based on worldwide streaming and sales from more than 200 territories, while the Global Excl. U.S. chart uses the same methodology without U.S. data. ### Which chart did “Seven” re-enter this week? The May 23 Billboard cycle was the one cited by STARNEWS for the song’s return at No. 182 on the Global 200. The report described the placement as a re-entry rather than a debut or a continued week-to-week hold. STARNEWS said the same weekly cycle pushed “Seven” to 143 cumulative weeks on the Global 200. The outlet has tracked the song’s long run through earlier 2026 updates as well, including a January report that said the single had re-entered the Global 200 dated January 10 at No. 148 and reached 127 weeks there at that point. ### What do the 143-week and 148-week totals refer to? The 143-week figure refers to total weeks on Billboard’s Global 200, according to STARNEWS. The 148-week figure refers to total weeks on Billboard’s Global Excl. U.S. chart, the outlet said. Billboard launched the two global rankings in 2020. The company says the Global 200 combines worldwide streaming and sales activity, and the Global Excl. U.S. chart measures the same categories outside the United States. ### Why is “Seven” still being tracked nearly three years after release? “Seven,” featuring U.S. rapper Latto, was released in July 2023 and opened at No. 1 on both Billboard global charts that month, Billboard reported at the time. Billboard also said the song became the first No. 1 on those charts for a BTS member as a soloist. The July 29, 2023 chart week also brought a No. 1 debut on the Billboard Hot 100, according to Billboard. That early performance established the song as Jungkook’s biggest solo chart launch, and later Billboard coverage showed the track spending seven weeks at No. 1 on both global charts in 2023. ### How has STARNEWS framed the run? STARNEWS said the latest totals extended what it described as the longest chart run for an Asian group or solo artist on those Billboard global rankings. The outlet used similar language in earlier 2026 reports on the song’s weekly placements. A March 22 STARNEWS report said “Seven” ranked No. 188 on the Global 200 dated March 21 and had then reached 136 weeks on that chart and 139 weeks on Global Excl. U.S. An April 19 STARNEWS report said the song rose to No. 159 on the Global 200 dated April 18 and moved to 140 and 143 weeks on the two charts, respectively. ### Where can readers check the next move? Billboard updates its weekly charts on its charts pages and artist pages, including listings for Jung Kook and Jungkook. The next global chart refresh will show whether “Seven” adds to the 143-week Global 200 total and the 148-week Global Excl. U.S. total cited by STARNEWS.
