Jungkook's 'My Time' sets the record as the longest charting BTS solo song on Worldwide iTunes and best-selling BTS solo song on iTunes

STAR CONTRIBUTOR

BTS' Jungkook is dubbed as the 'Sold Out King' because of his immense selling power not only for things he uses or clothes he wears or books he reads, but songs he touches too. Whether the ones he sings or composes, these songs made it big on the local and international charts because they have been selling like hot cakes.

This is proven with 'Euphoria' being the best-selling b-side in K-pop, sold over 4 million copies worldwide also becomes the longest-charting solo song by a K-pop idol in the history of Billboard World Digital Song Sales, charting for 36 weeks. And now 'My Time' is following in her footsteps, besides being the second longest-charting after 'Euphoria' on the chart with 33 weeks (tying with BTS Jimin's Filter) and the highest entry on Billboard Hot100 among all BTS solo songs, it is also the fastest BTS solo song to sell 100k units in the US and the first one to chart at #1 on Billboard World Digital Song Sales. 'Your Eyes Tell', the Japanese OST which Jungkook composed also set multiple records. Among its notable achievements are debuting at #1 on Oricon Daily chart with 13,089 sales, became BTS' highest debut sales on the chart. 'Your Eyes Tell' is also the fastest song by an Asian act to reach 100 #1's on iTunes.

Now 'My Time' sets the record as the longest-charting BTS solo song on Worldwide iTunes Song Chart as reported by K-media. On November 1st the song charted at #130, spending its 99th day on the chart.

'My Time' also becomes the best-selling BTS solo song in iTunes history with 304k points. 'My Time' and 'Euphoria' are #1 and #2 with the most points among all BTS solo songs on Worldwide iTunes with 304k and 291k points respectively. Jungkook's solo songs, collaboration and composed songs occupy 5 out of 20 positions in BTS Best selling tracks on iTunes ie. his solos 'My Time' (#9) and 'Euphoria' (#12), collabs 'Savage Love Remix' (#14) and 'Dream Glow' (#19) also his composed song 'Your Eyes Tell' (#17).

Jungkook also dominates the Korean charts by having most combined points on Gaon Digital Index out of all BTS solos, most combined streams on Genie out of all BTS solos and most liked BTS solo song on MelOn with 'Euphoria'.

Jungkook is truly a force to be reckoned with. As Japanese media Real Sound stated in their article 

(https://realsound.jp/2020/11/p...), Jungkook's voice plays a big role in establishing BTS music brand.

"The major trait of BTS' songs is that the world view of the song will directly flow into your heart, and it is Jungkook's singing voice that plays a big role in it. Both ‘Dynamite’ and ‘Your Eyes Tell’ begin with Jungkook’s singing. When his ‘C’ from “Cause ah ah” in ‘Dynamite’ has just started being heard, his ’N’ from “naze, konnanimo”(何故、こんなにも) in ‘Your Eyes Tell’ has just started being heard, the brand of BTS is established. His singing voice has such great power of the ‘one and only’."

I’ve been an ARMY for around five years now and watching Jungkook grow as an artist has been incredible. He is incredibly talented and absolutely deserves all the recognition he is getting.

I've only watched Jungkook grow into the man he is now for a few years and my heart bursts every time I think about how 2013 Jungkook would be fanboying over 2020 Jungkook😭 He's grown so much, not only as a great human, but also a great artist! Congrats Jungkook!
