Fans Choose LE SSERAFIM and J-Hope’s “Spaghetti” as This Week’s Favorite New Music

LE SSERAFIM’s recent collaboration with BTS member j-hope has been voted the top new release in Billboard’s weekly reader poll.

Published Friday, Oct. 24, 2025, the poll named the team-up single “Spaghetti” the clear favorite of the week.

“Spaghetti” captured 77% of votes, comfortably outdistancing a slate of new releases including Demi Lovato’s album It’s Not That Deep; Megan Thee Stallion’s single “LOVER GIRL”; Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska ’82; Daniel Caesar’s Son of Spergy; Leon Thomas’s Pholks; and several other recent entries.

The song serves as the lead single from LE SSERAFIM’s eight-track HYBE compilation, also titled Spaghetti, and marks j-hope’s first-ever feature on a K-pop girl-group record.

Earlier in the week, the song was teased with a YouTube clip called “The Kick,” which featured j-hope in a Matrix-inspired look amid flashing strobes and closed on a short preview of the group chanting the refrain “eat it up.” The snippet shows LE SSERAFIM members Kim Chaewon, Sakura, Huh Yunjin, Kazuha and Hong Eunchae delivering the line in their distinct styles.

In a conversation with Billboard Philippines, member Sakura likened the song’s grip to “spaghetti that’s stuck in your teeth,” noting that the repetitive “eat it up” hook becomes a playful highlight because each member performs it in their own way.

LE SSERAFIM have sustained strong momentum this year: in March their album HOT debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart, marking the group’s fifth top-10 entry and their second chart-topper after 2024’s Crazy.

Demi Lovato’s It’s Not That Deep placed second in this week’s poll with 7% of the vote.
