South Korean artist J-Hope of the globally renowned group BTS has recently released his new album, 'Hope on the Street Vol. 1,' despite all seven members currently being enlisted in the military in South Korea. The EP is expected to make a significant impact on the charts, with potential hits that could resonate with fans worldwide.
BTS has a track record of dominating the top 10 on Billboard's Digital Song Sales ranking with each new release, showcasing the unwavering support of their dedicated fan base. J-Hope's latest album is poised to continue this trend, potentially securing him another top 10 hit on the chart in the upcoming week.
With the recent success of BTS member V's single 'Fri(end)s,' which debuted at No. 2 on the Digital Song Sales chart, J-Hope finds himself in a tie with V and fellow bandmate Jimin for the third-most top 10 placements among South Korean solo artists on the same chart.
If J-Hope manages to secure just one more top 10 hit, he will surpass his current record and break the tie, solidifying his position as one of the most successful solo South Korean musicians on the Digital Song Sales chart. Furthermore, achieving two top 10 hits would place him on par with BTS member Suga for the second-most top 10 placements among soloists from South Korea, trailing behind Jung Kook, who leads with an impressive 13 top 10 hits.
While the exact number of tracks from 'Hope on the Street Vol. 1' that will reach the top 10 remains uncertain, there is a strong likelihood that J-Hope will secure at least one spot on the Digital Song Sales chart. This anticipated success will not only elevate his individual standing but also reshape the ranking of solo South Korean artists on this prestigious chart.
