The South Korean superstar has scored multiple smashes on some of the United Kingdom's songs rankings that are focused on pure purchases, as fans of the singer and rapper love to show how much they care by buying his music, not just pressing play on streaming sites. His latest single, 'Killin' It Girl,' almost doubles J-Hope's number of champions on one tally in the country…but it misses out by a single spot. 'Killin' It Girl' Debuts at No. 2 'Killin' It Girl,' a collaboration with rapper GloRilla, debuts on the Official Physical Singles chart at No. 2 this week. The BTS powerhouse is beaten to the summit by 'A Little Love,' the latest release from Scottish rock band Biffy Clyro. J-Hope Adds Another Major Hit to His Growing Tally J-Hope has only sent a pair of tracks to the Official Physical Singles ranking throughout his career. He appeared on the tally for the first time just a few months ago, when 'Sweet Dreams' — a collaboration with R&B superstar Miguel — reached No. 1 and spent 12 weeks as a bestseller. 'Killin' It Girl' Rules Two U.K. Charts 'Killin' It Girl' debuts on four charts in the U.K., and it rules half of them. While the track misses the No. 1 space on the Official Physical Singles ranking, it does command both the Official Singles Sales and Official Singles Downloads tallies. The win earns the South Korean musician his fourth leader and milestone tenth tune on the two rosters. A Top 40 Debut Marks a Career Best for Both Artists It's a big week for J-Hope in the U.K., as he also rises to a never-before-seen high point on the Official Singles chart, which ranks the most consumed songs throughout the nation. 'Killin' It Girl' opens at No. 30, bringing both he and GloRilla to new peaks and earning the two artists a debut top 40 smash across the Atlantic.

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. PARIS, FRANCE - JUNE 24: J-Hope attends the Louis Vuitton Menswear Spring/Summer 2026 show as part of Paris Fashion Week on June 24, 2025 in Paris, France. (Photo by) 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.

Selena Gomez reveals unlikely childhood crush - and it wasn't a pop star
Selena Gomez recently took a nostalgic trip down memory lane during her appearance on GOAT Talk, a YouTube series by Complex, where she was joined by fellow singer Karol G. While discussing their all-time favorites, the Only Murders in the Building star shared a surprising revelation - her first-ever celebrity crush was none other than rapper and actor Ice Cube. 'When I was about five, I had the biggest crush on Ice Cube,' Selena admitted, laughing. 'It's so random, but I always felt like he could protect me. That was enough for my childhood self.' She didn't clarify whether her admiration stemmed from his music or his film roles, like in Barbershop or Are We There Yet?, but it's clear the West Coast icon left a lasting impression. Gomez, also opened up about another artist who played a major role in her early music memories: Eminem. 'My dad was a DJ and constantly made remixes - especially with Eminem. I'd get so excited every time he played one,' she said. Karol G, in turn, named Eminem as her GOAT rapper while growing up, and chose Nicki Minaj for today's generation. Outside of her nostalgic confessions, Gomez briefly touched on her current relationship with producer Benny Blanco. The couple recently released a 26-track collaborative album I Said I Love You First… And You Said It Back, featuring artists like GloRilla, J Balvin, Gracie Abrams, and The Marías.

J-Hope scores his first solo top 40 hit on the Hot 100 (outside of his work with BTS) with 'Killin' ... More It Girl,' which debuts at No. 40, and becomes an instant bestseller. PARIS, FRANCE - JUNE 24: (EDITORIAL USE ONLY - For Non-Editorial use please seek approval from Fashion House) J-Hope attends the Louis Vuitton Menswear Spring/Summer 2026 show as part of Paris Fashion Week on June 24, 2025 in Paris, France. (Photo by) J-Hope is one of the most successful members of BTS when it comes to solo careers. He has produced multiple collections on his own and claims one of the largest accumulations of Hot 100 hits among all South Korean solo musicians. 2025 has been a particularly productive year for the singer and rapper, and as his new tune 'Killin' It Girl' arrives on the American charts, he reaches a very important position for the first time. J-Hope's 'Killin' It Girl' Debuts Inside the Top 40 J-Hope's new single, 'Killin' It Girl' — a collaboration with rapper GloRilla — launches on this week's Hot 100 at No. 40.

He and Becky G sent 'Chicken Noodle Soup' to No. 81 back in October 2019.

'Killin' It Girl' Performs Well Across the Billboard Charts 'Killin' It Girl' is a major hit for J-Hope on all four of the Billboard rankings on which it debuts this frame. While his top 40 start on the Hot 100 is impressive, the collaboration manages to launch inside the top five on the other three lists where it can be found. 'Killin' It Girl' enters the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. in the runner-up rung and the Billboard Global 200 at No. 3. The tune also dominates the Digital Song Sales ranking — the list of the top-selling individual tracks throughout America — with close to 18,500 pure purchases, according to Luminate.
