Despite being on a break to fulfill their military duties, the members of BTS continue to release music on their own. This has not prevented them from achieving success on the Billboard charts, with nearly half of the group appearing on the rankings this week. Three of the members have landed hits on the Digital Song Sales chart, with two of them debuting on the tally and one holding on for one more frame with his latest release.
J-Hope, one of the members of BTS, has secured a pair of placements on the Digital Song Sales chart this week with his latest EP, Hope on the Street Vol. 1. His song “Neuron” debuted at No. 5 on the chart, selling 7,777 copies. Additionally, J-Hope’s collaboration with Gaeko and Yoon Mirae, “I Wonder…” debuted at No. 12 with 4,011 sales in its first frame. Another BTS member, V, saw his single “Fri(end)s” fall from No. 14 to No. 18 in its third week on the chart, selling 2,778 copies.
J-Hope’s success on the Digital Song Sales chart is a significant achievement, given that he is currently focusing on his military duties. His collaborations with other South Korean musicians have also helped him secure placements on the chart. Similarly, V’s recent single “Fri(end)s” has also performed well on the chart, selling consistently weeks after its debut.
V came close to securing a chart-topping hit with “Fri(end)s,” landing in the runner-up position on the Digital Song Sales chart. Despite missing the top spot by one space, the song has continued to sell well on the chart. This demonstrates the enduring popularity of V’s music among fans. Overall, the individual members of BTS have proven their ability to succeed on the charts even while on a break from promoting as a group.
The success of BTS members on the Billboard charts highlights the group’s continued influence and popularity in the music industry. Despite not actively promoting new music, their individual releases continue to resonate with fans and climb the charts. This success speaks to the talent and creativity of each member of BTS, as they navigate their solo projects while fulfilling their military duties in South Korea. As fans eagerly await the group’s return, these achievements showcase the members’ ongoing dedication to their music careers.
