Awarded to Jungkook, the BRIT Silver certification had only been given to one other South Korean solo artist: PSY
Jungkook, from BTS, achieved another historic feat in his career as a soloist! This time, the idol’s solo debut single, “Seven” (featuring Latto), received BRIT Silver certification by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI).
Being the first solo song by J.K. (acronyms that represent the artist’s name) to achieve certification, the title was awarded to the idol taking into account the more than 200 thousand units sold of the track, the base number for awarding the BRIT Silver for singles.
Furthermore, the UK’s silver certification has not been awarded to a K-pop soloist for nine years, as before Jungkookthe only one to receive the BRIT Silver was PSYwho achieved the feat with “Gangnam Style” (2012) and “Gentleman” (2013), as revealed by the Soompi portal.
It is worth remembering that in addition to the BRIT Silver, “Seven” also has the platinum certificate awarded by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), or American Recording Industry Association in Portuguese.
Remember the MV for “Seven”, a track from his first solo album Jungkook, “GOLDEN”. The lyrics of the track talk about the desire to spend a whole week with the person you love. Look!
