02Worth knowing

What the AIs noticed while building the list.

'Like Crazy' reached No. 1 with 64,000 weekly radio listeners, the lowest for a chart-topper this decade, because it sold 254,000 copies in week one. The US formula rewarded sales, not listening.

Noticed by:

Included it: Gemini, StepFun, DeepSeek, Kimi. Did not include: Claude, ChatGPT, Meta, Grok, Wenxin.

Source ↗

The biggest gap the US chart leaves out is Lisa's 'MONEY': 1.44 billion Spotify streams and a Hot 100 peak of only No. 90, too low for this top 10.

Noticed by:

Included it: Claude, Gemini, StepFun, DeepSeek, Kimi. Did not include: ChatGPT, Meta, Grok, Wenxin.

'APT.' is the one song US radio fully adopted: the first K-pop No. 1 on Pop Airplay and 1.11 billion radio impressions in the first half of 2025.

Included it: ChatGPT, Meta, Grok, StepFun, Kimi. Did not include: Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Wenxin.

'Dracula' (Tame Impala with JENNIE, Hot 100 No. 5 and Radio Songs No. 1) and 'One of the Girls' (The Weeknd's single, 2.91B streams, No. 51) are left out because they are Western-led records, not songs led by a K-pop soloist. One answer reports 'Dracula' entering Radio Songs at only No. 49.

Some fan posts call SaWaDiKa's No. 69 the best Hot 100 peak by a female K-pop soloist. That is wrong: 'APT.' reached No. 3, and Lisa's own 'Born Again' reached No. 68.

03How we counted

In plain words, no formulas.

1The question

Top 10 K-pop Solo Songs in America: Hot 100 Rank vs. Radio vs. Global Streams vs. Video Views

2Why this topic

No published table puts US chart rank, US radio, global streams and video views side by side, and that comparison shows how much of a global hit never reaches the American chart.

3Where it applies

Global, with a focus on how K-pop soloists do in the US market

4What we looked at

Peak position on the Billboard Hot 100, which combines US streams, digital sales and radio airplay
US radio audience on the Billboard Radio Songs chart, which shows how much the general public hears the song
Spotify global streams, both first-week and total, including the 400-million club
YouTube views of the official video in the first 24 hours and the first week
The gap between the US chart rank and the global streaming and video ranks, and how long the song stays on each list
Billboard Hot 100 (Luminate data) — Weekly US song chart that combines streams, digital sales and radio airplay: peak position and weeks on the chart. This board sets the order.
Billboard Radio Songs / Pop Airplay — Weekly US radio audience. Radio Songs counts all formats, Pop Airplay counts Top 40 stations.
Spotify via Kworb — Global daily plays and lifetime streams per track, including the 400-million club.

5Who ranked

The leading AIs, each building its own list of ten independently and naming a source for every place: Claude, ChatGPT, Meta, Grok, Gemini, StepFun, DeepSeek, Wenxin, Kimi.

6How the places were set

The same entry written differently by different AIs was counted as one. The more AIs put an entry on their list, and the higher they put it, the higher its place. "AI agreement" shows how many of the AIs had it on their own list. Sources are only those the AIs found themselves; nothing was added by hand.

It is the only song on this list that both topped the Hot 100 and became a global streaming giant, at about 2.9 billion Spotify streams.
2
Rosé & Bruno Mars – "APT." (2024)
It debuted at No. 8 and climbed to No. 3 in February 2025, then passed 2 billion Spotify streams. The Hot 100 rewarded it nearly as much as global listeners did.

6
Lisa – "SaWaDiKa" (2026)
Its YouTube debut of 70.8M views in 24 hours was only just behind "LALISA", yet the Hot 100 gave it No. 69, Lisa's best debut.
7
Lisa – "Money" (2021)
It was the first K-pop solo track to pass 1 billion Spotify streams, from a Hot 100 debut of only No. 90.
8
Jennie, The Weeknd & Lily-Rose Depp – "One of the Girls" (2023)
It held the record as the highest-charting female K-pop soloist song on the Hot 100 at No. 51, and it was also the first to go platinum in the US.
Source ↗
9
Lisa – "Rockstar" (2024)
It is Lisa's best-charting song before "SaWaDiKa" at No. 70, and it topped the Global Excl. U.S. chart. That is a wide gap between the US and everywhere else.
10
Jisoo – "Flower" (2023)
It reached No. 2 on the Global 200, yet it never made the Hot 100.

What Claude noticed

Jimin's "Who" ran 33 weeks on the Hot 100, matching Psy's "Gangnam Style", but it peaked only around No. 26–29 on Pop Airplay. It lasted on streaming and sales, not on radio.

Source ↗

Jung Kook's "Seven" went to No. 1 on the Hot 100, but its Pop Airplay peak was only No. 17–19. Even the biggest K-pop solo hit was mainly a streaming hit in the US.

Source ↗

"Dracula" is the exception on radio: the Jennie remix entered Radio Songs at No. 49 and is reported in the Pop Airplay top 10, so a K-pop name can get radio play when it joins a rock-pop act with radio standing.

More than 640 million Spotify streams give Jisoo a durable solo hit, even without the radio footprint of a major US crossover single.

What ChatGPT noticed

SaWaDiKa demonstrates the distinction between worldwide video demand and US chart conversion. Its reported 70.8 million first-day views and top-10 YouTube placement across 26 countries coexist with a No. 69 Hot 100 debut. That is a meaningful mismatch, not proof that Billboard's formula is incorrect: the audiences, platforms and measurement windows differ.

Rockstar (Lisa, 2024)
No. 70 Hot 100 peak that SaWaDiKa later edged out as her second-highest pure-solo entry

What Grok noticed

SaWaDiKa’s 70.8 million YouTube day and 2.8 million Spotify open dwarf its No. 69 Hot 100 debut, illustrating the classic global-streams-over-US-radio gap for pure solo K-pop.

🇺🇸 Gemini10 places

The same question, answered by Gemini alone. The final list above combines all the AIs.

1
Jung Kook – 'Seven' (feat. Latto) (2023)
The rare K-pop solo release that conquered both sides of the Atlantic, debuting at No. 1 on the Hot 100 and reaching No. 19 on US Radio Songs while crossing 2 billion Spotify streams in record time.
2
Psy – 'Gangnam Style' (2012)
A viral juggernaut of 5.3 billion views that peaked at No. 2 on the Hot 100 for seven weeks, held off No. 1 solely because US radio programmers capped it at No. 12.
3
Rosé & Bruno Mars – 'APT.' (2024)
Bridged the historic US radio deficit for female Korean acts, surging to No. 3 on the Hot 100 with heavy pop radio rotation and crossing 1 billion global streams at unprecedented speed.
4
Jimin – 'Like Crazy' (2023)
Became the first Korean soloist to debut at No. 1 on the Hot 100 with 254,000 digital sales, but plummeted 44 spots in week two after receiving virtually non-existent US radio airplay of just 64,000 audience impressions.
5
Jennie, The Weeknd & Lily-Rose Depp – 'One of the Girls' (2023)
A slow-burning global titan that surpassed 1.4 billion Spotify plays and spent 20 weeks on the Hot 100, yet peaked at only No. 51 due to delayed US airplay pick-up.
6
Lisa – 'Money' (2021)
Accumulated over 1.2 billion Spotify streams and 1 billion YouTube views, yet only managed a No. 90 peak on the Hot 100, revealing the massive gap between global streaming dominance and US radio calculations.
7
Jimin – 'Who' (2024)
Defied traditional front-loaded fandom drops by staying on the Hot 100 for over 22 weeks with a peak at No. 12, balancing steady US on-demand streaming with growing secondary radio play.
8
Jung Kook – 'Standing Next to You' (2023)
A deliberate homage to vintage US funk-pop that debuted at No. 5 on the Hot 100, logging 19 weeks on chart thanks to label-serviced US radio spins that generated over 800 million global streams.
9
Lisa – 'Rockstar' (2024)
Generated 32.4 million YouTube views in 24 hours under her own LLOUD imprint, entering the Hot 100 at No. 70 before radio silence caused an early chart exit despite strong worldwide streaming.
10
Lisa – 'SaWaDiKa' (2026)
Debuted at No. 69 on the Hot 100 on the back of 70.8 million day-one YouTube views and 2.8 million Spotify plays, facing the recurring K-pop hurdle where heavy visual consumption does not yield domestic radio support.

1
Seven (feat. Latto) - Jungkook (2023)
The only K-pop solo No. 1 that owns the streams, the radio audience and the global chart at the same time.
2
APT. - Rose and Bruno Mars (2024)
A billion Spotify streams in 100 days, the second-fastest in the platform's history, and still the highest Hot 100 peak by a female K-pop soloist.

4

A No. 1 built on 254,000 downloads and 64,000 radio listeners - the lowest airplay audience for a Hot 100 leader this decade.
5
Dracula - Tame Impala and JENNIE (2026)
The first song co-billed to a K-pop soloist to top the all-format Radio Songs chart - and, 45 weeks in, the longest-charting Hot 100 song by any K-pop act.
6
Who - Jimin (2024)
A No. 1 global debut and 2.57 billion Spotify streams - but only No. 12 in America.
7
One of the Girls - The Weeknd, JENNIE and Lily-Rose Depp (2023)
2.91 billion Spotify streams, more than any other song here, for a track that never got past No. 51 in America.

8
Standing Next to You - Jungkook (2023)
The same No. 5 Hot 100 peak as '3D', but 320 million more Spotify streams and no featured rapper.

9
MONEY - Lisa (2021)
No. 90 on the Hot 100, 1.4 billion Spotify streams and a billion-view video - the biggest under-reward on this list.
10
SaWaDiKa - Lisa (2026)
70.8 million YouTube views in a day and 2.79 million Spotify streams on debut - for a No. 69 entry with no radio impact and no promotion.

1
Jungkook – Seven (feat. Latto), 2023
The only K-pop solo song with a No. 1 Hot 100 debut and more than 3 billion Spotify streams — but radio was never the engine.
Source ↗
2
Rosé & Bruno Mars – APT., 2024
No. 3 on the Hot 100 and No. 4 on Radio Songs — the most balanced K-pop solo hit in US chart history.
3
Jimin – Who, 2024
2.5 billion Spotify streams and 33 weeks on the Hot 100, yet its Pop Airplay peak was only No. 26 — a streaming giant that US radio under-served.
4
Jimin – Like Crazy, 2023
A No. 1 Hot 100 debut built on 254,000 sales and just 64,000 radio audience impressions — the lowest radio figure for a No. 1 this decade.
5
Jennie & Tame Impala – Dracula (Remix), 2026
No. 5 on the Hot 100 and No. 1 on Radio Songs with 62.6 million audience — US radio rewards it far more than its 500 million global Spotify streams would suggest.
Source ↗
6
Lisa – Money, 2021
1.4 billion Spotify streams but only No. 90 on the Hot 100 — the widest chart-to-streams gap on this list.
7
Lisa – SaWaDiKa, 2026
70.8 million YouTube views in 24 hours but only 57.5 million Spotify streams in total — video and audio tell different stories.
8
Jungkook – Standing Next to You, 2023
No. 5 on the Hot 100 and 1.5 billion Spotify streams — a steady hit that never became a US radio staple.

9
V – Winter Ahead (with Park Hyo-shin), 2024
No. 99 on the Hot 100 but 700 million Spotify streams — a holiday song that US radio never touched.

10
Agust D (Suga) – Haegeum, 2023
No. 58 on the Hot 100 with 404 million Spotify streams and zero US radio airplay.

What DeepSeek noticed

Jennie's Dracula reached No. 1 on Billboard Radio Songs with 62.6 million audience impressions, yet its Spotify total (500 million) is a fraction of songs ranked far lower on the Hot 100.

The same question, answered by Wenxin alone. The final list above combines all the AIs.

1
APT. — Rosé ft. Bruno Mars (2024)
The only K-pop solo collab to crack the Hot 100 Top 3 and hit 400M Spotify streams — radio played it like a Bruno single, not a K-pop import
2
LALISA — Lisa (2021)
Hot 100 No. 84 with a YouTube sledgehammer (90M in 24 hrs) — the gap between US chart and global video is the widest on this list
3
MONEY — Lisa (2021)
No Hot 100 entry and no radio spins, yet 900M+ Spotify streams — the quintessential US-radio-ignores-it global monster
4
Pink Venom — BLACKPINK (2022 group, Jennie lead)
Peaked at Hot 100 No. 22 and was the first K-pop group song to reach the top 25 — US radio finally heard a BLACKPINK track
5
SaWaDiKa — Lisa (2026)
Hot 100 debut No. 69 on day one with 100M+ YouTube in 48 hrs — the radio test starts now
6
Shoong! — Lisa (2024, from Alter Ego)
Hot 100 No. 68 with a Spotify total still climbing — US radio is silent, but the fanbase moved it on pure streams
7
On The Ground — Rosé (2021)
Hot 100 No. 70 with a relatively modest YouTube debut — it built slowly worldwide, the opposite of a viral smash
8
You & Me — Jennie (2023)
No Hot 100 entry, but 140M+ Spotify streams and a 22M-view YouTube debut — the quiet underperformer on US charts relative to global pull
9
Mantra — Jennie (2024)
No Hot 100 entry, no radio, yet 200M+ Spotify — another Jennie track the US formula completely skips
10
Flower — Jisoo (2023)
Hot 100 No. 90, the weakest chart showing among these ten — but a steady 160M+ Spotify total and 35M-view YouTube keep it alive globally

3
Like Crazy — Jimin (2023)
The first K-pop solo No. 1 in Hot 100 history — powered by 254,000 sales and just 64,000 radio impressions, the lowest airplay for a No. 1 this decade.
4
Gangnam Style — PSY (2012)
Seven weeks at No. 2 — the K-pop solo benchmark that stood for 11 years until 'Seven' — and the first video ever to 1 billion YouTube views.

Who — Jimin (2024)
Only No. 12 on the Hot 100 — but 33 weeks, the slow-burn US radio breakthrough that 'APT.' later passed for the K-pop longevity record.
6
SaWaDiKa — Lisa (2026)
70.8 million YouTube views in 24 hours — the second-biggest solo debut in YouTube history — yet only No. 69 on the Hot 100: the widest global-vs-US gap on this list.

MONEY — Lisa (2021)
1.44 billion Spotify streams — the most-streamed song by a K-pop female soloist ever — from a song that peaked at just No. 90 on the Hot 100.

8
One of the Girls — The Weeknd, Jennie & Lily-Rose Depp (2023)
A soundtrack sleeper that climbed to No. 51 and spent 20 weeks on the Hot 100 — first female K-pop soloist to do either — and quietly hit 2.9 billion Spotify streams.

9
Rockstar — Lisa (2024)
No. 1 on Billboard's Global Excl. U.S. chart — the world loved it, America barely noticed: No. 70 on the Hot 100, one week.
10
Mantra — Jennie (2024)
The softest US landing of the 2024 solo wave — No. 98, two weeks — yet it opened an album era (Ruby) that debuted No. 7 on the Billboard 200.
