On November 29, Spotify unveiled its annual report, Spotify Wrapped, offering insights into the music preferences of over 574 million users globally. Among the highlights, BTS’ Jungkook stood out with his solo debut single “Seven,” featuring Latto, claiming the impressive fourth spot on Spotify’s most-streamed global songs of 2023.
Late Release, High Impact
“Seven” made a significant impact on the streaming platform despite being released in the second half of 2023, specifically in mid-July. The song’s popularity soared, securing its place among the top-streamed tracks of the year. In the 2023 rankings, only Miley Cyrus’s “Flowers,” SZA’s “Kill Bill,” and Harry Styles’ “As It Was” surpassed “Seven” in terms of streams.
