Rewinding a little, J-record hope’s company, Bighit Music, said in June of this year that the BTS member will be making his solo comeback with his debut studio album, Jack in the Box. J-Jack hope’s in the Box, the much-anticipated follow-up to his 2018 mixtape HopeWorld, was released on July 15. Ten songs made up the album, including the pre-release song MORE and the title tune Arson.
The album’s release immediately became a smash! The record had enormous popularity across all charts, which demonstrated its success. Jack in the Box and the BTS broke one record after another, from Spotify to Billboard. The record is still in high demand a month after it was released.
With more than 60 million plays during its first week, the album became the second-biggest K-Pop act’s first-week album launch on Spotify in 2022. All of Jack In The Box’s songs debuted on Spotify’s “Global Chart Top 100,” with MORE reaching the highest position at number 13.
Jack In The Box is the fastest album by a Korean solo artist to accomplish this feat, breezing over 100 million streams on Spotify in just 8 days and surpassing 200 million streams just 45 days after its release. All of the album’s songs have also received more than 7 million streams.
In the meanwhile, the boy band will perform for free as part of South Korea’s campaign for the World Expo 2030 in Busan in October of this year.
