American media personality Ryan Seacrest, host of the globally syndicated radio program American Top 40, recently shared some exciting news about Jungkook‘s upcoming album. The BTS member, known for his perfectionism, is working diligently with producers Andrew Watt and Cirkut to create a creative and unique album that will undoubtedly captivate fans worldwide.
Jungkook’s perfectionism, while it allows him to ensure high-quality music, is also the reason for the album’s delay. He’s not one to settle for mediocrity. If a song fails to hold his interest after a few listens, he does not hesitate to scrap it entirely and start anew. This rigorous process ensures that each track on the album is nothing short of flawless. His recent smash, “SEVEN,” is a testament to this meticulous approach.
Ryan Seacrest (continued):
And if a song doesn’t interest him after a few listens, he scraps the whole thing and starts over from scratch
He said that after he finished this one, he knew right away it was flawless. It’s “Seven”. Jugkook. New, #33

American Top 40, sometimes abbreviated as AT40, is a popular radio program that counts down the week’s top songs. The program has seen different hosts over the years, with Seacrest taking over on January 10, 2004, following creator Casey Kasem‘s retirement. Currently, American Top 40 airs in two formats, one distributed to Contemporary Hit Radio (Top 40) stations and the other to Hot Adult Contemporary stations. The program is broadcasted on nearly 500 radio stations in the U.S. and other territories. It’s among the most listened-to weekly radio programs globally.
American Top 40 used the Billboard charts to compile the countdown in its early years. However, it now uses unpublished mainstream Top 40 and hot adult contemporary charts compiled by Mediabase.
