Jung Kook Hits No. 1 In America Again

BTS singer Jung Kook is, like most of his bandmates, preoccupied with something other than his music career right now. The superstar is enlisted in the South Korean military, which is required of all men in the nation by a certain age. As he continues to serve his country, fans of the musician have helped him score another big sales hit.

“Yes or No” by Jung Kook currently appears at No. 1 on iTunes’ ranking of the bestselling songs in the U.S. The tune shot to the highest rung in a massive leap up the list, beating many more recent smashes.

As it climbs to the summit, “Yes or No” replaces one of the longest-running leaders on the American iTunes tally this year. Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” was ruling until very recently, and now Jung Kook has taken over control from that relative newcomer. That smash has spent weeks atop the list, and it could easily return to the throne soon.

“Yes or No” is featured on Jung Kook’s only solo album, Golden. The set was released in November of 2023, but even months later, it is still churning out hits. That’s uncommon these days, but fans of the singer like to, from time to time, collectively push one standout track or another to the charts by purchasing them in huge quantities.

Jung Kook never selected “Yes or No” as a single from Golden, and it doesn’t appear that the track is being promoted as one now. Fan activity is doing all the work in making the cut a bestseller, if only a momentary one.

“Yes or No” could reach the Billboard charts in a few days if it keeps selling even more copies. It might already have sold well enough to land on tallies like the Digital Song Sales ranking when it’s refreshed again in a little over a week. The title could become another win for Jung Kook from Golden, which has already produced smashes like “Seven” with Latto, “3D” with Jack Harlow, and his own “Standing Next to You,” which appeared to be the final promotional tune from the collection.
