JNR CHOI'S ROCKET "TO THE MOON"

U.K. model-turned-hip-hop prospect Jnr Choi is blowing up on multiple platforms with "To the Moon" (Epic/Black Butter). The song exploded on TikTok, topped Spotify's Viral chart and was just added to Today's Top Hits.

The drill track, which samples Bruno Mars' "Talking to the Moon," reappeared on DSPs recently after having been removed (presumably for clearance purposes). It returned with a bang this week as Spotify added it to its flagship playlist.

Meanwhile, the song is still climbing at TikTok; it's been used in more than 1.5m clips and ranks as one of the platform's Top 10 sounds globally. "To the Moon" started 2022 as the #1 TikTok track in the U.S.

Before his ascent in music, Choi appeared in campaigns for Topman and Zara and walked for Givenchy, Philipp Plein and AMIRI, among others.
