This marks his seventh entry on the Hot 100 chart with solo works, breaking the record for the most entries by a K-pop solo artist (7 songs). The previous record was held by Jungkook.

He has shown consistent success. J-Hope first made his mark on the Hot 100 in 2019 with 'Chicken Noodle Soup', which debuted at number 81.

Following that, his first solo album was released. The double title tracks from 'Jack In The Box', 'MORE' reached number 82, and 'Arson' landed at 96.

Additionally, his solo single 'on the street' placed at 60. The track he featured on, 'LV Bag', reached number 83 on the Hot 100.

Furthermore, his digital single 'Sweet Dreams', released on the 7th of last month, also peaked at number 66. He has now had three songs enter the chart this year alone.

The performance on the sub-charts is also noteworthy. 'MONA LISA' reached number 14 on the 'Global 200' and number 9 on the 'Global (excluding the U.S.)', setting a new personal best.

Moreover, this song went straight to number 1 on the 'Digital Song Sales' chart. It has remained in the upper tiers of multiple Billboard charts, showcasing his status as a global artist.

The members of BTS are also continuing to have a long run. Jimin's second album title track 'Who' reached number 45 on the 'Global 200', while Jungkook's first single 'Seven' placed at 120.
