BTS J-HOPE's first mixtape takes US Billboard by storm! “Highest ranking for Korean solo singer”
BTS is currently absent from the United States. Not only in Korea, but also in Asia, there is no notable activity.
Meanwhile, J-Hope's mixtape (originally a cassette tape containing songs remixed by a hip-hop DJ. Now a CD?) was released. American fans have been waiting for this. The numbers in the article show that.
63rd place on Billboard's Billboard 200, 1st place on World Album, and other ranks such as ``Top Album Sales'', ``World Digital Song Sales'', ``Artist 100'', ``Hope World'', and ``Artist 100''. J-HOPE appears in various categories such as ``.
Of these, we focused on the 63rd place on the Billboard 200. As a K-POP solo singer
It seems that J-Hope has broken into the top 100 for the first time. I was surprised that there had been no one so far. Even BIGBANG, which was extremely popular in Asia and seemed to be spreading to Europe and America, could barely make it into the top 200.
In fact, there were only four people who made it into the top 200: (BoA (127th), BIGBANG's SOL (112nd), SHINee's Jonghyun (117th), and BIGBANG's G-DRAGON (161st). Of these, BoA seems to have been achieved quite a while ago, but it has only been in the past 1-2 years since BIGBANG's SOL.
In other words, it can be assumed that after BIGBANG's SOL, the popularity of BTS started to spread in America.
BTS is very popular as a group. However, it is often said that the level of penetration among individual members is low. The people who are often compared are the members of BIGBANG. The members of BIGBANG are known worldwide, but BTS remains the most popular group.
I can understand the current situation in Japan. This is clear from the difference in the number of dome performances. However, in the context of the globalization of K-POP, I would like to assert that the individual BTS members have become quite well-known and have now surpassed BIGBANG. The success of this mixtape is a testament to that.
An artist's popularity can be measured by the letters and numbers left on paper. However, the popularity of idols is like the bulge of air created by soap bubbles. People who are unable to develop their imagination behind letters and numbers, and who are unable to observe the soap bubbles themselves in their current state, are always behind the times in their thinking.
I'm trying not to do that myself, but...
