J-hope and GloRilla‘s “Killin It Girl” tops this week’s new music poll.
In a poll published Friday (June 13) on Billboard, music fans chose the collaboration between the BTS member and the Memphis MC as their favorite new release of the past week.
“Killin It Girl” brought in 87% of the vote, beating out new releases from artists like Lil Tecca (Dopamine), Mark Ronson and RAYE (“Suzanne”), Zara Larsson (“Midnight Sun”), Brandon Lake (King of Hearts) and Gunna (“Won’t Stop”).
“Killin It Girl” features an entrancing hip-hop flow that conveys the enchanting pull of love at first sight, with GloRilla taking on the persona of the irresistible baddie. “He said I be killin’ it, I said I do this everyday,” Big Glo brags on the lust-filled track.
This new single follows a busy year for the K-pop star, who also released hits like “Sweet Dreams” with Miguel and “Mona Lisa.”
“’Sweet Dreams’ featuring Miguel — an artist I’ve long respected — has a smooth, soulful vibe that feels deeply personal. On the other hand, ‘Mona Lisa’ brings a hip-hop-driven performance energy,” j-hope told Billboard in May.
He added, “Both tracks are easy to connect with, yet they offer a glimpse into the broader, more evolved musical world I’m building. This is just the start — I have plenty more musical experiments in store.”
The BTS member toured across North America as part of his HOPE ON THE STAGE tour, including a pair of sold-out concerts at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center in March. He concluded the global trek on Friday (June 13), with a performance at South Korea’s Goyang Stadium.
The “other” category placed second in the poll with 10% of the vote, while Lil Tecca’s fifth album, Dopamine, came in third, earning nearly 1%.”
