J-Hope’s Winning Streak Continues With Another No. 1

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.
