Jungkook, Latto Achieves New Billboard Feat With 'Seven' Topping Billboard Hot 100

It was a tight race for Jungkook, Latto, and Jason Aldean at the race for the Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 song of the week.

However, Jungkook and Latto emerged victorious as "Seven" debuted at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 charts.

Jungkook, Latto 'Seven' Billboard Hot 100 Chart

According to Billboard, Jungkook and Latto's "Seven" racked up 21.9 million streams, 6.4 million in radio airplay impressions and 153,000 combined digital and CD singles after the last tracking week.

It is currently the 1,151st No. 1 song on the chart after Olivia Rodrigo's "Vampire." Concurrently, the song also debuted at No. 2 on the Digital Song Sales chart, No. 4 on the Streaming Songs chart, No. 30 on Adult Pop Airplay, and No. 33 on Pop Airplay charts.

This is Jungkook's first solo No. 1 song and Top 10 hit. In the past, he only charted No. 22 with Charlie Puth on "Left and Right" and "Stay Alive" at No. 95.

Latto, dubbed by her fans as a "flourishing rapper," only had her first No. 1 hit with the help of Jungkook. The highest peak she got was No. 3 with "Big Energy," thanks to an assist by Mariah Carey.

Jason Aldean 'Try That In A Small Town' Billboard Hot 100

Meanwhile, Jason Aldean's controversial song "Try That In A Small Town" soars to No. 2 with 11.6 million streams, 7.3 million in radio airplay audience, and 228,000 digital sales.

The stats for the said song reached a fever pitch after Aldean was slammed for his racist, pro-lynching lyrics and music video. The song debuted at No. 1 on the Digital Song Sales chart, making it the largest digital sales week for a country title in over 10 years.

It was actually Aldean's second chart-topper. The song also scored No. 37 on the Streaming Songs Chart and No. 25 on Country Airplay Charts for nine weeks.

Aldean has since addressed the controversy in a statement.

"In the past 24 hours I have been accused of releasing a pro-lynching song (a song that has been out since May) and was subject to the comparison that I (direct quote) was not too pleased with the nationwide BLM protests. These references are not only meritless, but dangerous," Aldean said in a tweet. My political views have never been something I've hidden from, and I know that a lot of us in this Country don't agree on how we get back to a sense of normalcy where we go at least a day without a headline that keeps us up at night. But the desire for it to- that's what this song is about."
