J-Hope Breaks His Tie With Fellow BTS Star Suga
J-Hope debuts his new single "Sweet Dreams" at No. 1 on the Digital Song Sales chart. The tune, his latest solo effort, is a collaboration with Grammy winner Miguel.
"Sweet Dreams" is J-Hope's first leader on the Digital Song Sales list. Despite earning several top 10s in the past, the BTS singer and rapper had never reached the summit — until now.
With the debut of "Sweet Dreams," J-Hope now claims 10 top 10 hits on the Digital Song Sales chart. That's not just a nice, round number, it's a rare feat among K-pop artists.
Only two other acts from South Korea have managed at least that many appearances inside the top 10 on the purchase-only ranking. Unsurprisingly, BTS leads the pack with 36 top 10s, while Jung Kook is in second place with 14. That puts J-Hope in third place overall and makes him the second-most successful K-pop soloist in the history of this list.
Before "Sweet Dreams" arrived, J-Hope was tied with two of his BTS bandmates for the most top 10s on the Digital Song Sales chart. Both Jimin and Suga — who also goes by Agust D when he shares solo material — have earned nine top 10s on the tally.
"Sweet Dreams" is J-Hope's second new top 10 on the Digital Song Sales chart this month alone. Just a few weeks ago, he teamed up with Don Toliver, Pharrell Williams, and Speedy on the collaborative track "LV Bag." That cut opened at No. 8, giving the BTS member his ninth top 10 and allowing him to tie Jimin and Suga at that point.
Luminate reports that "Sweet Dreams" sold 14,500 copies in its first tracking period. That makes it the bestselling song in America this week by a large margin.
No other title managed to sell at least 10,000 copies during the same span. The runner-up on the Digital Song Sales chart is Chappell Roan's "Pink Pony Club," which sold just 6,000 copies.

Kaytranada Returns With New Album ‘Ain't No Damn Way'
For the second summer in a row, Haitian-Canadian producer Kaytranada is getting people dancing with a new studio album. The Grammy-winning DJ has released his fourth album Ain't No Damn Way!, the follow-up to last year's Timeless. Kaytranada gave little warning for the release, announcing the LP earlier this week and dropping lead single 'Space Invader' shortly thereafter. Like with Timeless, Kaytranada plays with a wide range of sounds and rhythms on the project, from more upbeat tracks like 'Championship' and 'Don't Worry Babe / I Got U Babe' to laid-back offerings like 'Things' and 'Shine Your Light For We.' He even samples TLC's 'Let's Do It Again' on closing track 'Do It! (Again!).' In recent years, Kaytranada has fully stepped into his power, unafraid to create beats or make musical tweaks that he feel might not resonate with listeners or collaborators. 'I always used to be very shy in the studio and sometimes let the artists just do their thing because I didn't want to correct them or anything. It took me a while to understand, OK, I got to be the one that says 'Do it like this,'" he told Rolling Stone last year. "I don't have a leader mentality. I'm learning to do that now.' Now, Kaytranada is 'trying to make Grammy-winning albums.' 'I just want to be remembered as one of the greats in terms of producing, not only dance and electronic but also just production in general,' he told Billboard. Kaytranada hits the road with Justice on a co-headlining tour across North America this fall. It all kicks off Oct. 16 in Vancouver and wraps up Nov. 16 in Miami. Before then, fans can listen to the producer featured on Teyana Taylor's forthcoming album Escape Room, due out next week.

Cyndi Lauper to celebrate musical legacy with Bay Area crowd
Decades into her career, Cyndi Lauper still just wants to have fun. The pop singer got her start in the late '70s and rose to mainstream fame with her debut album, 'She's So Unusual,' in 1983. The record included her smash hit 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun' and skyrocketed to the top of the charts in more than 25 countries. After years of entertaining, the Grammy winner opted to wind things down with her 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun' farewell tour, which kicked off in October 2024 and stopped at Chase Center last November. The San Francisco show saw her 'bop,' shimmy and rock out to her hits, from 'True Colors' to 'Time After Time.' Despite its title, Lauper has clarified that the tour is not a retirement sendoff. The 72-year-old said she'll be open to occasional performances, and wanted to make sure she made one more push for an arena tour while she was still strong enough to give it her all. The trek, her first world tour since 2016, is scheduled to stop in the Bay Area once again at Mountain View's Shoreline Amphitheatre.
