J-Hope, RM, and Jung Kook all appear on the U.K.’s Official Physical Singles chart this week, with … More
The seven members of BTS have all been busy pursuing solo ventures since the group went on hiatus several years ago. As each member of the beloved K-pop boy band takes his turn enlisting in the South Korean military — a requirement for all males in the country by a certain age — some have already completed their duty, while others are expected to finish their tour very soon. That means the world may hear from the septet again before long.
With seven singers all pushing solo projects from time to time, the bandmates occasionally appear on the same rankings, sometimes separated by only a few spots. At the moment, half of the musicians in BTS occupy space on the same list in the United Kingdom with a trio of solo bestselling releases.
J-Hope, RM and Jung Kook Chart Together
Three of the seven members currently appear on the Official Physical Singles chart, which specifically ranks the bestselling individual tunes in formats such as CD, vinyl, or cassette. This week, J-Hope is the highest-ranking of the three. He lands at No. 28 alongside Miguel with their collaboration “Sweet Dreams,” which slips from No. 13 to No. 28.
13 spaces further down comes band leader RM. His track “Lost” recently returned to the tally, and this time it jumps from No. 50 to No. 36. Jung Kook joins his BTS bandmates on the Official Physical Singles ranking with his track “Standing Next to You” as the tune reenters the list at No. 62.
Jung Kook Missed No. 1
Of the three hits, “Standing Next to You” is the only one that has missed out on ruling the roster. Jung Kook’s solo win peaked at No. 2 when it debuted in that position in November 2023. So far, that marks its only turn inside the top 10. Both “Sweet Dreams” and “Lost” launched in first place.
“Standing Next to You” is the Longest-Charting Winner
While Jung Kook’s cut may be the lowest-peaking of the bunch, it has spent the most time on this tally. “Standing Next to You” has racked up 19 stays on the Official Physical Singles chart. That’s longer than both “Lost” and “Sweet Dreams” combined. RM’s track has only managed three appearances, and this frame marks the milestone tenth for “Sweet Dreams” on this roster.
