BTS's Jung Kook makes Official Chart history with The Kid LAROI and Central Cee collaboration TOO MUCH

BTS's Jung Kook today claims his third Top 10 as a soloist with The Kid LAROI and Central Cee collaboration TOO MUCH (10), making him the first Korean solo artist to secure three Top 10 singles in UK chart history.

In doing so, Jung Kook takes the title from previous record-holder Psy, who has two to his name to date.

Jeon Jung-kook, main vocalist of BTS alongside bandmates Jin, SUGA, j-hope, RM, Jimin and V, follows the success of previous 2023 releases Seven featuring Latto and Jack Harlow team-up 3D, which reached Number 3 and Number 5 on the Official Singles Chart respectively.

Psy previously held the record as the Korean soloist with the most Top 10 singles in the UK. His breakout hit Gangnam Style became the UK's first K-pop chart-topper in 2012, while follow-up Gentleman peaked at Number 10 the following year.

Psy's last Official Singles Chart appearance came courtesy of a collaboration with Jung Kook's BTS bandmate SUGA, with That That peaking at Number 61 in 2022.

As a member of BTS, Jung Kook has secured four Top 10 singles. The group have so far seen Top 10 success with 2020's Dynamite (3) and Life Goes On (10), as well as 2021's Butter (3) and Coldplay collab My Universe (3).
