Jin shares his experience as South Korea’s representative of the 2024 Olympics, SEVENTEEN’s WOOZI has something to say about the accusations of AI use, and Jimin & Jung Kook tease their new show.

Tetris Kelly:

Ji-Kook doesn’t know if we’re ready for what we are about to see, SEVENTEEN’s WOOZI snaps back to people saying they use AI, and Jin is thankful for his Paris experience. Here’s three things you need to know in K-Pop. Though SEVENTEEN’s epic video for “MAESTRO” played with the concept of AI and technology, one of the members and songwriter of the group said ‘no’ on their songs. After a BBC story said they used artificial intelligence in the creative process, WOOZI posted to IG saying, “All of SEVENTEEN’s music is written and composed by human creators.” And their entertainment label backed him up saying, “It is not true that AI was used in SEVENTEEN’s song lyrics, and we have conveyed our position to the foreign media outlets that reported on this to correct the content.” BBC added an editor’s note. Jin of BTS was South Korea’s official representative in the Paris 2024 Olympic torch relay, the 31-year-old K-pop star was beside himself with excitement. In a statement he said: “I was able to take on the honorable role of a torchbearer thanks to the support of ARMY. I am truly grateful. I was so nervous to the point of not knowing how the time passed, but I was able to do my best thanks to the many people who loudly cheered me on.” And Jin we will always do so. Jimin & Jung Kook are coming to Disney+ in a new travel show August 9th and today they walked to ARMY about the adventurous details. We are not ready! Okay, yes we are.

Rounding out the week’s notable entries, Quavo and Lana Del Rey’s genre-defying “Tough” makes its chart debut at No. 32, further propelling both artists’ impressive chart legacies.

Both acts wrap their quickest coronation on any Billboard airplay survey. Falling in Reverse’s two previous radio rulers, “Popular Monster” and “Zombified” (both on Mainstream Rock Airplay), took 16 weeks to No. 1 in 2020 and 2022, respectively.

Jelly Roll soars past his prior fastest run to No. 1 on a radio chart, as “Need a Favor” needed 18 weeks to lead Mainstream Rock Airplay in 2023; he boasts three No. 1s on Mainstream Rock Airplay and four on Country Airplay.

Trending on Billboard

“All My Life” wraps the second-quickest flight to No. 1 on Mainstream Rock Airplay this year; Pearl Jam’s “Dark Matter” led in its fourth frame in March.

Each of Jelly Roll’s entries has led Mainstream Rock Airplay, with “All My Life” and “Need a Favor” preceded by “Dead Man Walking,” a one-week No. 1 in 2022. He becomes the first act to send three initial entries to No. 1 since The Pretty Reckless, which racked up a streak of four out of the gate in 2014-16 via “Heaven Knows,” “Messed Up World,” “Follow Me Down” and “Take Me Down.”

Concurrently, “All My Life” jumps 8-5 on the all-rock-format, audience-based Rock & Alternative Airplay chart with 2.9 million impressions in the week ending July 11, up 8%, according to Luminate. It’s Falling in Reverse’s best-charting song on the survey, having surpassed the No. 11-peaking “Last Resort (Reimagined),” a cover of Papa Roach‘s original, last year. Jelly Roll’s best remains “Need a Favor,” which reached No. 3. Assisting the success of “All My Life” is support on alternative radio, as it’s currently bubbling under the Alternative Airplay survey.

On the most recently published multimetric Hot Hard Rock Songs chart (dated July 13, reflecting data in the week ending July 4), “All My Life” ranked at No. 2 after three weeks at No. 1. In addition to its radio airplay, it drew 3.2 million official U.S. streams and sold 1,000 downloads.

“All My Life” previews Popular Monster, Falling in Reverse’s fifth studio album, due Aug. 16.
