J-Hope Hits No. 1 On Two Billboard Charts

BTS superstar J-Hope has done it again! This time, he has earned two new No. 1 hits on the Billboard charts with his latest single “On the Street.” What’s even more impressive is that he achieved this feat with the same track on two different sales-related rankings: the R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales and the Rap Digital Song Sales charts.

According to data shared by Luminate, “On the Street” sold just over 6,000 copies this week, which was enough to secure the top spot on both charts. It’s incredible to see how the song has retained popularity since its release, as it continues to perform well in its second frame of availability.

Last week, “On the Street” debuted at No. 2 on both the R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales and the Rap Digital Song Sales charts, coming in behind Nicki Minaj’s “Red Ruby Da Sleeze.” The latter song started at No. 1 on all applicable Billboard rankings with very healthy first-frame numbers. But J-Hope’s “On the Street” has now overtaken Minaj’s song to rule the charts.

What’s more, “On the Street” also debuted at No. 2 on the all-genre Digital Song Sales chart last week, falling short of Minaj’s hit once again. However, this week, J-Hope’s single only falls to No. 6, while Minaj’s single dips to No. 10.

Now, Minaj’s latest hit has fallen to No. 4 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales chart and to second place on the Rap Digital Song Sales ranking, making room for J-Hope to rule. This marks J-Hope’s first No. 1 hit on the R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales chart and his second win on the Rap Digital Song Sales chart. He first appeared atop that tally last year with “Arson.”

J. Cole’s inclusion on “On the Street” has certainly helped J-Hope’s chances at success. The rapper is credited as a featured act, bringing his talent, popularity, and credibility to the tune. For now, “On the Street” appears to be a standalone single from the BTS member. He released his debut solo album Jack in the Box last summer. With the band on something of a hiatus, he may have more music–or even another collection–on the way.
