SEOUL, Aug. 28 (Korea Bizwire) — BTS member J-Hope’s debut solo album, “Jack in the Box,” has re-entered the top 10 of the U.S. Billboard’s main albums chart this week, more than a year after its release, Billboard said Monday.
The album ranked sixth on Billboard 200, with 50,000 equivalent album units sold during the latest sales period, one year and a month after it came out on July 15, 2022.
This is the first time J-Hope has entered the top 10 of the chart.
Of the 50,000 units sold, 47,000 came from physical album sales, a 13,238 percent surge from the previous week.
J-Hope recently released “HOPE Edition,” a CD edition of the album.
The original album reached No. 17 on the Billboard 200 chart last year although it was released in a Weverse album format, a digital album whose music files can be downloaded on the Weverse community app, without a physical CD.
With this, J-Hope became the third BTS member ever to break into the top 10 of the Billboard 200, following RM and Jimin.
J-Hope is currently serving in the South Korean military after enlisting as an active-duty soldier in April.
