BTS member J-Hope's debut solo album "Jack in the Box" has reentered the U.S. Billboard 200 main albums chart.
In a chart preview on Aug. 27, Billboard said the album was sixth thanks to the Aug. 18 release of the Hope Edition.
The Billboard 200 is ranked based on sales of traditional formats like physical CDs, streaming equivalent albums (SEA) and track equivalent albums (TEA).
Sales of the Hope Edition from Aug. 19-24 comprised 47,000 physical albums, 2,000 SEAs and 1,000 TEAs.
As the physical version of "Jack in the Box," which was released on July 15 last year, the newest edition of J-Hope's debut work gained traction for its unusual release as a Weverse album, whose tracks are downloadable on domestic and international music platforms and apps.
"Jack in the Box" encapsulates J-Hope's worries and aspirations for the future in breaking away from the past.
