J-Hope of BTS made history on the Billboard chart with his special album, “Hope on the Street Vol.1,” released last month.
According to Billboard, J-Hope’s “Hope on the Street Vol.1” landed at No. 5 on Billboard’s main album chart, the Billboard 200, dated April 13.

With this, J-Hope became the first K-pop solo artist with more than one top-10 achievement on the Billboard 200.
