BTS’s j-hope has officially solidified his place as a powerful solo artist with his latest single, “Killin’ It Girl,” featuring GloRilla.
This track has marked a significant milestone for j-hope, as it became his first song ever to break into the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States, debuting impressively at No. 40.
This achievement is particularly noteworthy given the competitive nature of the U.S. music market, especially for K-pop soloists branching out from globally renowned groups like BTS.
Not only did “Killin’ It Girl” debut strong, but it also demonstrated remarkable staying power by becoming j-hope’s first single to spend multiple weeks on the Hot 100 chart.
This week, the song continues to hold a position on the chart at No. 90, showing that it has captured sustained attention and appreciation from listeners.
This success on the Hot 100 is complemented by the song’s strong performance on other major Billboard charts.
It currently holds the No. 5 spot on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart, highlighting its international appeal beyond the United States.
Additionally, it ranks No. 6 on the Global 200 chart and No. 7 on the Digital Song Sales chart, where it had debuted at No. 1 last week, making it the seventh best-selling song in the U.S. that week.
This impressive commercial reception marks a new chapter for j-hope as a solo artist, showing his ability to make a significant impact on the global music scene outside of his group activities with BTS.
His collaboration with GloRilla on this track has resonated well with fans and new listeners alike, showcasing a fresh, dynamic sound that expands his artistic range.
With this momentum, j-hope is proving that his talents and creative vision have a powerful reach across various markets and audiences worldwide.
Fans eager to see more of j-hope can catch him in BTS’s acclaimed film “BREAK THE SILENCE: THE MOVIE,” which is available for streaming on Viki, offering an intimate look into the artist’s journey and performances.
Congratulations to j-hope for this groundbreaking achievement that not only elevates his solo career but also contributes to the global influence and recognition of K-pop artists in the international music industry.
