J-Hope is back with a new solo collection, Hope on the Street Vol. 1. The EP began impacting the Billboard charts this week, with both the complete set and the songs featured on it giving the BTS musician more wins on the competitive rankings in the U.S. The superstar reaches No. 1 on one tally with one of his latest smashes this frame, returning to the highest rung once again.
On this week’s World Digital Song Sales chart, J-Hope snags another No. 1 hit. The singer’s new track “Neuron” opens in first place on the ranking of the bestselling “world” cuts in the U.S.
“Neuron” arrives at No. 1 on the World Digital Song Sales chart thanks to 7,777 copies sold. That figure is according to Luminate, which collects all consumption data in the U.S. each week and feeds it to Billboard, which then uses that info to compile the charts.
J-Hope collects his sixth career No. 1 on the World Digital Song Sales chart with “Neuron,” which also brings fellow South Korean musicians Yoon Mirae and Gaeko to the summit as well, as they’re credited as featured acts. That sum includes only his solo material, as he’s also topped the tally many, many times as one of seven members of BTS.
In 2018, J-Hope earned his debut No. 1 hit on his own with “Daydream,” which brought him to the summit on the World Digital Song Sales chart and helped him make history. He then doubled that sum in 2019 with “Chicken Noodle Soup,” a collaboration with Becky G.
J-Hope collected three more leaders on the World Digital Song Sales chart in 2022 alone. In July of that year, he scored back-to-back champions, starting when “More” hit No. 1. That tune was then replaced by his own “Arson,” making him one of a relatively small number of artists who trade one ruler for another on a Billboard ranking. Before 2023 rolled around, he returned to the peak spot with “Rush Hour” alongside musician Crush.
“Neuron” is one of five new hits from J-Hope on the World Digital Song Sales chart this week. He owns the entire top five with tunes from Hope on the Street Vol. 1, upping his career total to 20 appearances between Nos. 1 and 10.
In addition to his six No. 1s, J-Hope has also reached the top spot on the World Digital Song Sales chart dozens of times with BTS. The boy band has thus far accrued 37 rulers, and that sum is sure to climb again when they reunite and release new music.
