J-Hope's Winning Streak Continues With Another No. 1
J-Hope and GloRilla's 'Killing a Girl' debuts at No. 1 on two U.K. charts, marking his third ... More chart-topper of 2025 and tenth solo win on multiple lists in the country.

Throughout 2025, J-Hope has been releasing single after single after single — and at this point, he's grown accustomed to reaching No. 1 with his solo tunes. The BTS talent has racked up multiple champions in just the past few months, and he adds to his growing list of winners with "Killin' It Girl," his recently-released collaboration with hip-hop superstar GloRilla. As that tune arrives in the United Kingdom, J-Hope keeps a winning streak going that began months ago and has yet to be interrupted.
"Killin' It Girl" Launches at No. 1
"Killin' It Girl" launches at No. 1 on half of all the U.K. charts on which it debuts. The track kickstarts its time on both the Official Singles Sales and Official Singles Downloads rankings at No. 1.
J-Hope earns his fourth leader on both rosters, and his third of 2025. So far this year, "Sweet Dreams" with Miguel, "Mona Lisa," and now "Killin' It Girl" have led the charge.
J-Hope landed his first No. 1 on the two purchase-focused rankings in April 2024, when "Neuron," his collaboration with Gaeko and Yoon Mi-rae, easily landed in the penthouse.
J-Hope's Years of Hit Songs
A year before "Neuron" arrived, J-Hope narrowly missed the No. 1 spot on both the Official Singles Sales and Official Singles Downloads charts by just one space – but he managed to reach a new high point in the process. "On the Street," which credits both J-Hope and J. Cole, peaked in the runner-up spot.
The BTS singer and rapper has collected a total of seven top 10 placements on the Official Singles Sales chart and one additional smash on the downloads-only tally. "Killin' It Girl" earns him his milestone tenth appearance on both rankings.
A Competitive Week on the Charts
"Killin' It Girl" almost debuted at No. 1 on a trio of tallies, but instead the cut is forced to settle for the runner-up spot on the Official Physical Singles chart. On that ranking, J-Hope comes in behind Scottish rock group Biffy Clyro, as that band's latest track "A Little Love" wins the week.
As it launches, "Killin' It Girl" does earn J-Hope and GloRilla their first top 40 smashes on the Official Singles chart, the most competitive songs tally in the U.K., where it enters at No. 30.

At Hermès, woven leather and quiet confidence set the tone for Paris menswear
PARIS (AP) — While much of Paris Fashion Week chased spectacle, Hermès chose a different path. On Saturday, artistic director Véronique Nichanian unveiled a Summer 2026 men's collection that spoke in a language of quiet strength, deep craft and calm luxury. Models walked beneath soaring mirrors in sharply cut jackets, high-waisted woven leather trousers, and sleeveless tops — pieces that fused house tradition with a modern, easy sensuality. Nichanian's colors were cool and exact: coffee, slate, taupe and beige, each one a lesson in subtlety. There was no shouting here, only precision. What made the collection powerful was its restraint. Where others go wide, Hermès goes narrow —offering tailored silhouettes and a sense of order when the rest of fashion is busy making noise. Fine leather, featherlight silks, and bandanas with a whisper of fringe reminded the crowd that true luxury is about touch, not flash. Nichanian's playful touches — zigzag motifs, the wink of an unbuttoned shirt, a glint of silver hardware — kept things human, not stiff. It was a masterclass in how to make classic codes feel new, even radical, simply by refusing to chase trends. In a season marked by designer shake-ups and economic jitters, Hermès stood alone: confident, focused, and unwilling to compromise. As Nichanian took her bow to cheers, she sent a clear message — at Hermès, luxury is about the pleasure of the wearer, not the applause of the crowd.

Best Glastonbury 2025 moments from Lewis Capaldi's return to secret Pulp set
Glastonbury kicked off its 2025 line-up with the return of Lewis Capaldi and a surprise pre-lunchtime set from Lorde, who had been rumoured as a secret booking for the festival. The pair aren't the only unlisted stars who could make an appearance at Worthy Farm this weekend - other names in the mix include Pulp, Haim and Oasis. Take a look at the highlights from this year's Glastonbury Festival so far, and what there is to look forward to over the coming days. Friday night saw Lewis Capaldi return to the festival, two years after announcing a break. There had been speculation about the star making a comeback, as the Pyramid Stage schedule had a mysterious "TBA" listing for 4:55pm - 5:30pm. The Scottish singer stepped out on stage to huge applause, launching straight into his 2019 hit, Before You Go. "Glastonbury it's so good to be back," he said after performing his track Grace. "I'm not going to say much up here today because if I do I think I'll probably start crying, but it's just amazing to be here with you all and I can't thank you all enough for coming out and coming and seeing me." It had been expected that the star would return to the festival after a tough experience on the same stage in 2023. Capaldi, who has spoken out about mental health struggles and his Tourette's diagnosis, was unable to finish singing his hit Someone You Loved. His fans movingly helped him through the performance by singing the song for him, but he later cancelled all shows for the foreseeable future, saying he was "still learning to adjust to the impact of my Tourette's". He performed Someone You Loved during Friday's set, looking emotional as he told the crowd: "I couldn't sing this song two years ago for a different reason. I think I might struggle to sing it this time for another reason. But this time it's a good reason." Capaldi also released new music at midnight - single Survive, which explores his mental health problems in the lyrics. Lorde was heavily rumoured to be putting in an appearance at Glastonbury, and the New Zealand star delighted fans by beginning the festival at 11:30am on Friday on the Woodsies stage in a mystery "TBA" slot. Lorde released her fourth album, Virgin, at midnight and played it in full, telling the crowd: "I didn't know if I'd make another record to be honest. But I'm back [and] completely free." Rumours of the Royals star playing the Woodsies stage were so widespread that festival security closed access to the field because of overcrowding before she took to the stage. Ever since the Glasto 2025 line-up was announced, the big question has been — who are Patchwork? Squeezing inbetween John Fogerty and Raye on the Pyramid Stage on Saturday, June 28, the mystery of Patchwork had all but evaporated though, as the enormous crowd awaited a potential homecoming for Jarvis Cocker and his band Pulp. Prior to their unveiling — a background screen eventually asked: 'Are you ready for... PULP SUMMER' — the stage was shielded by a line of people in ponchos while the rockers got in position to plough straight into hit tunes Sorted for E's & Wizz and Disco 2000. After doing so, frontman Cocker addressed the sea of fans with: "Hello, my name's Jarvis. This is Pulp. Sorry for people who were expecting Patchwork, did you know we were gonna play?" A collective yell of 'YEAH!' rang out. "How?" he said, "Psychic, good. Listen, those two songs we just played were first played on this stage 30 years and four days ago. It was the very, very first time they were played — you could say they were born in Glastonbury." Cocker, who has appeared in a variety of Wes Anderson films, later segwayed from singing Acrylic Afternoons into generously throwing teabags out to the people. "Share them," he made sure to mention. Prior to Pulp's big secret being popped, Haim were also speculated to be playing the 6.15pm to 7.15pm slot after a fan unearthed a tenuous link to the artist codename through German author Sylvia Haim, who wrote a book titled Patchwork. One act definitely playing Glastonbury is Kneecap, due on the West Holts stage on Saturday at 4pm. But with controversy following the group wherever they go, whether or not the BBC will be able to cover their set has been up in the air. It's just over a week since one of the members appeared in court charged with a terror offence and although the BBC is the home of Glastonbury coverage, airing Kneecap's set live could prove too risky - particularly after their comments on stage at Coachella festival in the US earlier in the year. Prime minister Sir Keir Starmer has said he doesn't think they should be on the Glastonbury line-up, while festival organiser Emily Eavis has now responded to his comments with "everyone is welcome here". On Friday, 27 June Jo Whiley, who is covering Glastonbury on the BBC, suggested to BBC Radio 4 that Kneecap's set would air, saying: "If the performance goes out...I believe it is..." Even outside of the mystery acts, Glastonbury has some big moments lined up with a packed schedule and some superstar headliners. Friday's headline act is The 1975, while Saturday sees Neil Young and The Chrome Hearts take to the Pyramid Stage, and Olivia Rodrigo closes Glastonbury on Sunday night. Of course, there's an endless schedule of other acts to pack in, including Charli XCX headlining the Other Stage on Saturday, Busta Rhymes putting in an appearance on Friday, and Rod Stewart taking to the Pyramid Stage on Sunday afternoon. Other highly-anticipated performances include Raye, John Fogerty and Alanis Morissette. Glastonbury coverage continues across the BBC and on BBC iPlayer all weekend.
