Congratulations are in order for Jung Kook and Latto because the pair have scored their first chart-topper on the Billboard Hot 100.
Full story below…
After a hard-fought battle with Jason Aldean and Morgan Wallen, the pair’s single ‘Seven’ has soared in at #1 on the coveted count.
Jung Kook has tasted the top spot six times as part of BTS (thanks to bops such as ‘Butter’ and ‘Dynamite’), but this serves as his first reign as a soloist.
For femcee Latto, it’s her first #1 on the Hot 100. She previously impacted the top 10 with #3-peaking ‘Big Energy’ in 2022.
So, how did the duo pull off the win?
Here’s how the numbers stack up:
- 21.9 million streams
- 6.4 million in airplay audience
- 153,000 combined digital and CD singles
Jung Kook now serves as the second BTS member to score a #1 on the Hot 100 after Jimin’s ‘Like Crazy’ launched in pole position in April.
Congrats!
Sooo happy for her!!! She gets better and better.
Omg congratulations biggest song of year 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I’m no Latto fan, haven’t heard much of her music but I’m glad she blocked Aldean. Tempted to buy her single just to keep him out of the top spot.
Never heard of this hibachi man.
In what ways did they scheme to accomplish this feat??
Latto has no identity or real artistic direction. That’s why she isn’t popping off like a Cardi or Meg. She’s still virtually unknown outside of the blog circles and stan twitter. Also she’s colorist so there’s that.
I’m not clapping.
🤣 Hibachi man. Shame on you!
She is #1. Stay mad… 🤭
Props to Latto and Jungkook 👏🏻 ooh the essays and tantrums written thru tears are going to be super funny 🤭
She Nicki already tagging her record label coke rant coming 3 2 1………
And no matter what the barbz do Nicki lil first single def won’t break these records this song set that’s funny 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 let’s see a Nicki first single get 217 million global Spotify in 1 week or video 100 mill views in 1 week the record for a female rapper has been set 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
You are the definition of a true idiot.
If you think this song did this because of Latto you are highly delusional
The way Doja is treating her fans….smh. Her fans will flock to Latto. Latto isn’t original. She’s just being marketable the way Doja used to be. You can be alternative without alienating your fan base :/
Ice P*** stans are shooketh
Congrats Jung Kook on ur #1.
That is all!!!
To me Latto always comes across like a high priced call girl. I’ll be glad when she outgrows this hypersexual stage. It’s more to life than talking about your pucci and sucking D, Boo Boo.
This song is gonna tank and fall off the charts within a few weeks. Aldean’s song is going to stick around longer
The desperation
