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.

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."
