J-Hope's 'Mona Lisa' debuts at No. 65 on Billboard Hot 100

By Shim Sun-ah

SEOUL, April 2 (Yonhap) -- J-Hope of K-pop supergroup BTS has once again entered the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 with his latest digital single, "Mona Lisa."

The single debuted at No. 65, according to the latest chart released Monday (U.S. time), marking J-Hope's seventh entry on the Hot 100.

With this, he is tied with his bandmate Jungkook as the most-charted K-pop solo artist.

Since his 2019 single "Chicken Noodle Soup" (feat. Becky G) reached No. 81, the rapper-dancer has consistently charted on the Hot 100. His dual lead tracks from his first solo album, "Jack in The Box" -- "More" and "Arson" -- peaked at No. 82 and No. 96, respectively. In 2023, his collaboration "on the street" (with J. Cole) debuted at No. 60.

Notably, J-Hope has placed three new songs on the chart consecutively this year: "LV Bag" (feat. J-Hope & Pharrell Williams) at No. 83, "Sweet Dreams" (feat. Miguel) at No. 66 and now "Mona Lisa."

He has also made a strong showing on Billboard's global charts. "Mona Lisa" reached No. 14 on the Billboard Global 200 and No. 9 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart, his highest rankings on both charts to date.
