In a monumental stride for BTS, Jungkook, known as the group's golden maknae, has seized the top spot on the Billboard charts, marking a watershed moment in the K-pop sensation's career. Surpassing industry heavyweight Taylor Swift, Jungkook's solo endeavor, "Standing Next to You," propelled his debut album, Golden, to unprecedented heights.

The achievement, revealed by the United World Chart, underscores Jungkook's staggering accomplishment, accumulating a remarkable 951,000 total equivalent sales for his album. Taylor Swift's formidable "1989 (Taylor's Version)," previously seated at number one, gracefully conceded to Jungkook's ascent, slipping to the runner-up position with 358,000 sales.

This momentous feat by Jungkook not only eclipses Swift but also positions him among the foremost solo artists in the global music landscape. His track "Standing Next to You" surged across various charts, accompanied by other hits like "3D" featuring Jack Harlow and collaborations with The Kid Laroi and Central Cee, resonating with audiences worldwide.
