BTS member Jhope has set a new record for the most entries by a Korean solo artist on the US Billboard charts.
According to his agency BigHit Music on June 25, Jhope's new song 'Killin It Girl' debuted at No. 40 on the latest Billboard main singles chart, the 'Hot 100' (dated June 28).
This marks Jhope's eighth solo entry on the 'Hot 100', the highest number ever for a Korean solo artist. He also achieved his personal best ranking on the 'Hot 100', surpassing his previous peak of No. 60 with 'on the street' released in 2023.
This year, all three of Jhope's solo singles have entered the 'Hot 100'. 'Sweet Dreams' reached No. 66, 'MONA LISA' ranked No. 65, and 'Killin It Girl' achieved the highest position among them.
'Killin It Girl' also performed strongly on other charts. It ranked No. 2 on the 'Global (Excl. US)' chart and No. 3 on the 'Global 200' chart. This is the first time a Jhope solo song has entered the Top 5 on both charts. On the 'Digital Song Sales' chart, it secured the No. 1 spot. Additionally, 'MONA LISA' re-entered the 'Global (Excl. US)' chart at No. 150.
The chart achievements of other BTS members have also continued. Jin's mini second album 'Echo' title track 'Don't Say You Love Me' ranked No. 34 on the 'Global 200' chart. Jimin's solo second album 'MUSE' title track 'Who' placed at No. 87, and Jungkook's solo single 'Seven' ranked No. 99. On the 'Global (Excl. US)' chart, the three songs ranked No. 19, No. 48, and No. 57, respectively.
