J-Hope from BTS is further establishing himself as a successful solo artist, as his latest single ‘MONA LISA’ has entered the Billboard Hot 100 chart at No. 65 dated April 5th. This achievement ties him with Jungkook for having the most appearances on the Hot 100 by a solo K-pop artist, as it marks his seventh time on the chart.

J-Hope made his Hot 100 debut in 2019 with "Chicken Noodle Soup (feat. Becky G)" at No. 81. Since then, he has been steadily expanding his solo discography with tracks such as "MORE" (No. 82), "Arson" (No. 96) from his debut solo album ‘Jack In The Box’, and "on the street (with J. Cole)" in 2023, which reached No. 60.

In 2024, he has managed to place three songs on the Hot 100, including "LV Bag (feat. j-hope & Pharrell Williams)" (No. 83), "Sweet Dreams (feat. Miguel)" (No. 66), and now with "MONA LISA."

Moreover, "MONA LISA" has been receiving international recognition, ranking at No. 14 on the Global 200 and at No. 9 on the Global Excl. U.S. chart. This marks J-Hope’s highest chart position ever and his first Top 10 on the latter. Additionally, the song debuted at No. 1 on the Digital Song Sales chart, highlighting his broad appeal across the globe.

Other members of BTS are also enjoying success in their solo endeavors. Jimin’s "Who," from his upcoming second album "MUSE," charted at No. 45 on the Global 200 and No. 32 on the Global Excl. U.S. Furthermore, Jungkook’s "Seven (feat. Latto)" continues to chart on both lists nearly nine months after its release.
