J-Hope’s “Killin’ It Girl” Featuring GloRilla Scores Record-Breaking Chart Debut

BTS member J-Hope has achieved a new milestone with his latest single, “Killin’ It Girl,” featuring American rapper GloRilla. The track debuted at No. 40 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking the highest entry by a K-pop act on the chart in 2025. The song also made a significant impact globally, landing at No. 3 on the Billboard Global 200 with 55.1 million streams and 43,000 units sold worldwide in its first week, and reaching No. 2 on the Billboard Global Excl. US chart.

Released on June 13, “Killin’ It Girl” showcases a blend of hip-hop and pop, with J-Hope expressing the thrill of love at first sight and GloRilla delivering a bold, confident verse. The single’s music video, directed by Cody Critcheloe, features both artists in separate locations, connected by the symbolic appearance of a black cat.

This achievement marks J-Hope’s first solo top 10 entry on the Global 200 and cements his status as the Asian soloist with the most Billboard Hot 100 entries in history—eight in total. He now holds the top three highest debuts by a K-pop act on the Hot 100 in 2025, with his previous singles “Mona Lisa” and “Sweet Dreams” debuting at No. 65 and No. 66, respectively.

Fans and industry watchers have praised J-Hope’s expanding musical range and continued global influence, as he builds on his success following his return from military service last year. GloRilla also celebrates her first top 10 entry on the Global 200, further highlighting the international appeal of the collaboration.
