Jin‘s “I’ll Be There” has topped this week’s new music poll that features artists in various genres of music.
Music fans voted in a poll published Friday (Oct. 25) on Billboard, choosing the BTS star’s rockin’ solo single as their favorite new music release of the past week.
“I’ll Be There” brought in nearly 95% of the vote on the poll, securing a notable edge ahead of new releases from Lady Gaga (“Disease”), Halsey (The Great Impersonator), Addison Rae (“Aquamarine”), Linkin Park (“Over Each Other”), and others.

Jin’s effervescent bilingual tune with a rockabilly swing will be featured on the K-pop superstar’s debut solo album, Happy, which is scheduled for release on Nov. 15.
In an exclusive video interview with Dolby Atmos shared with Billboard, the 31-year-old South Korean singer reveals that he wrote the new song to “provide happiness” to his fans. “When ARMY feel tired and lonely, I hope this song gives them strength,” Jin says in the clip. “I have a very clear idea of what kind of emotions I want to share with our fans,” he adds. “I want our fans, our ARMY, to be happy.”
Jin collaborated with American singer-songwriter MAX to produce “I’ll Be There.” In the music video, he channels rock star energy with an air guitar windmill move and strikes Elvis-inspired poses while confetti showers down around him. By the end of the clip, Jin is joyfully dancing solo in an abandoned parking lot, kicking up his heels as the sun sets behind the bridge.
Jin’s six-track Happy album will feature the focus song “Running Wild,” as well as “I’ll Be There,” “Another Level,” “Falling,” “Heart on the Window” (feat. WENDY)” and “I will come to you.” Jin collaborated with a number of other acts on the album, including Take That’s Gary Barlow, who co-produced and co-wrote “Running Wild.”
Trailing far behind Jin on this week’s poll is Lady Gaga’s “Disease,” which brought in nearly 3% of the vote. “Disease” is the lead single for the pop star and actress’ forthcoming studio album.
