This track continues to prove Jennie’s versatility and global appeal as a solo artist. And of course, the Kings of K-pop, BTS, are also making their presence felt across the Billboard charts! The supergroup logged two tracks on the Hot 100, with the mesmerizing “Swim” landing at No. 82 and the compelling “Normal” at No. 89. Over on the prestigious Billboard 200 main albums chart, BTS’s highly acclaimed fifth studio album, “Arirang,” secured a remarkable No. 15 spot. Not only that, but the soundtrack for the global Netflix hit animated film “KPop Demon Hunters” also made a strong showing, ranking at No. 29, highlighting K-pop’s expanding influence across various entertainment mediums. Boy group CORTIS also made waves, with their album “GREENGREEN” charting at No. 114, proving the depth of talent within the K-pop landscape. KATSEYE / Courtesy of HYBE
