Jungkook's 'My Time' is the only BTS solo in Tidal's "K-Pop: Best of 2020" and 'Euphoria' is first BTS song to enter Japan's Joysound Karaoke chart for 2 years straight
STAR CONTRIBUTOR
Tidal recently released their "K-Pop: Best of 2020" playlist to celebrate the best K-pop songs for the year. Jungkook's solo song 'My Time,' which is also co-written by him, is the only BTS solo song included in the playlist.
Other notable achievements of 'My Time' include the highest-charting BTS solo song on Billboard Hot 100, the first BTS solo song to reach #1 on US iTunes and #1 on Billboard World Digital Song Sales, and the fastest BTS solo song to sell over 100,000 units in the US in just 57 days.
While 'My Time' is thriving in Tidal, another Jungkook's solo song 'Euphoria' is apparently enjoying its solid popularity in Japan. The song enters Japan’s Joysound Karaoke Year-End Chart for the Top 20 most popular K-pop songs of 2020, charting at #11. It is the only BTS solo song charting and one of the only 2 BTS songs that made it into the chart. The other one is 'Dynamite,' which is charting at #2.
'Euphoria' also entered this chart in 2019 alongside 'Idol' and 'I'm Fine.' That makes it the first and only BTS song to chart on Joysound Karaoke Year-End Chart for Top 20 Most Popular K-Pop Songs for 2 consecutive years!
In Billboard charts this week, 'Euphoria' extends its record as the longest-charting solo song by a K-pop idol on Billboard World Digital Song Sales, spending its 42nd week on the chart. 'My Time' is the second-longest charting (ties with 'Filter') with 39 weeks, and 'Stay' spends its 2nd week
charting at #4.
In Billboard Japan,'Your Eyes Tell' composed by Jungkook charts at #84 on Hot 100, spending its 16th week. 'Your Eyes Tell' and 'Stay' also charted on Streaming Songs at #67 and #85, respectively.
In short, Jungkook's songs are crazy popular, whether on streaming platforms, karaokes, and even Billboard charts. The fact that he remains the longest-charting K-pop Idol on Billboard World Digital Song Sales speaks volumes of his individual success, even without a solo debut.
Congratulations King. You deserve it Jk. I’m so proud of you <3
