J-Hope Achieves His Seventh 'Billboard Hot 100' Entry, Matching the K-pop Solo Record
J-Hope Makes History Again: ‘ MONA LISA ’ Debuts on Billboard Hot 100 !
BTS’s J-Hope is proving once again why he’s a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. His latest single, MONA LISA, has debuted at No. 65 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart (April 5th), tying him with fellow BTS member Jungkook for the most solo entries by a K-pop artist. This marks J-Hope’s seventh appearance on the prestigious chart, solidifying his growing influence as a solo performer.
A Steady Climb to Success
J-Hope first broke into the Hot 100 in 2019 with Chicken Noodle Soup (feat. Becky G), which peaked at No. 81. From there, he continued to carve out his space in the music world with MORE (No. 82) and Arson (No. 96) from his debut solo album Jack In The Box. His 2023 collaboration, on the street (with J. Cole), further showcased his versatility, peaking at No. 60.
The year 2024 has been particularly remarkable for J-Hope. He has already landed three songs on the Hot 100: LV Bag (feat. Pharrell Williams) at No. 83, Sweet Dreams (feat. Miguel) at No. 66, and now MONA LISA at No. 65. His consistent charting highlights his evolving artistry and growing fanbase beyond BTS.
Global Impact
J-Hope’s success isn’t limited to the U.S. MONA LISA has made an explosive global impact, ranking No. 14 on the Billboard Global 200 and No. 9 on the Global Excl. U.S. chart—his highest placement ever and his first Top 10 on the latter. The song also debuted at No. 1 on the Digital Song Sales chart , proving his worldwide appeal and dedicated fan following.
BTS Members Shine Solo
J-Hope isn’t the only BTS member making waves on the charts. Jimin’s Who, from his upcoming album MUSE, debuted at No. 45 on the Global 200 and No. 32 on the Global Excl. U.S. chart. Meanwhile, Jungkook’s Seven (feat. Latto) continues its impressive run, staying on both charts nearly nine months after its release.
With MONA LISA, J-Hope continues to elevate his solo career, proving that his star power extends far beyond BTS. As he keeps breaking records and making history, fans eagerly await what’s next from the multi-talented artist.
