That silence has ended, as the BTS star returns to multiple Billboard rankings this frame. He's not back with a just-dropped cut, or even a new full-length, but with an EP that has become a bestselling title yet again. Hope on the Street Vol. 1 reappears on a trio of Billboard-published lists this frame. J-Hope's EP, which dropped a little more than a year ago, becomes a bestseller once more after being re-released on vinyl, which thousands of fans purchased once the music became available on the format. Luminate reports that in the past tracking frame, Hope on the Street Vol. 1 project sold another 4,300 copies. That sum is up considerably from the previous period, when it didn't quite manage 250 sales. From one frame to the next, thanks almost entirely to the vinyl drop, J-Hope's project soared by 1,771% in pure purchases. Hope on the Street Vol. 1 debuts on the Vinyl Albums chart, Billboard's look at the top-selling titles on that one format. It's the only ranking where the EP arrives, versus returns, and it starts at No. 6. J-Hope collects just his second solo career placement on the list. He scored his first with Jack in the Box in 2023, when the album climbed to No. 4. The EP also brings J-Hope back to the World Albums and Top Album Sales charts. Hope on the Street Vol. 1 reenters the world tally at No. 4 and the all-style, all-language ranking of the top-selling projects in the country at No. 17. Previously, Hope on the Street Vol. 1 led the charge on the World Albums list, but missed becoming a No. 1 on the Top Album Sales roster by just a single space. Hope on the Street Vol. 1 features half a dozen tracks by J-Hope, including collaborations with artists like Benny Blanco, Nile Rodgers, and his BTS bandmate Jung Kook. The EP peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 and produced several minor commercial hits. Earlier this year, J-Hope scored a trio of Hot 100 wins as 'LV Bag' with Don Toliver, Speedy and Pharrell Williams, 'Sweet Dreams' with Miguel, and his solo tune 'Mona Lisa' all managed to spend at least one frame on the competitive ranking.

(Video) Fans Outraged Over Inappropriate Touching Of BTS J-Hope During Japan Concert
Harassment by fans can be deeply distressing, as was the case last year when BTS (방탄소년단) member Jin (진) was subjected to inappropriate behaviour when a fan kissed his cheek. Now, J-Hope (정호석) has found himself facing similar actions, with fans crossing boundaries during his recent concert. On 19th April 2025 (Saturday), J-Hope lit up Saitama with the first Japanese stop of his much-anticipated 'Hope On The Street' tour, and it was nothing short of electrifying. The global superstar brought his energy and charisma to the stage, marking a powerful start to this leg of the tour in Japan. As has become a beloved part of his shows, J-Hope didn't hold back when it came to engaging with fans. Throughout the concert, the idol interacted with the crowd by walking along the barricades, giving fans a rare close-up experience. While the majority of fans respected his personal space, some were seen crossing the line by touching the idol inappropriately. At one point, the rapper was unexpectedly hugged by a fan without him initiating it, though he continued performing professionally. Moments later, another fan was seen placing a hand on his stomach and chest, with several others reaching out to touch him as he passed. The incident sparked a wave of outrage and disappointment online, with many fans expressing their concern over how the idol was treated. While J-Hope had already been generous in getting up close and personal with the crowd, many felt this behaviour crossed a line and showed a lack of respect for the idol. Many fans expressed frustration and concern over the incident, with some sharing their disappointment specifically towards Japanese fans, who are generally known for being respectful. One netizen also pointed out that violating the boundaries could lead to stricter rules in future concerts, ultimately limiting fan interactions. Overall, the sentiment was clear: fans should show more respect towards the artist and never cross the line.
