J-Hope’s new single “Mona Lisa” debuts at No. 2 on iTunes, sandwiched between two new Morgan Wallen … More
J-Hope’s fans know what to do whenever he drops new music. The BTS member has built a strong solo career by steadily sharing singles that often dominate digital sales rankings, usually going straight to the top.
He’s continued his selling streak throughout the past few weeks with multiple new drops. His latest release, “Mona Lisa,” arrived on Friday (March 21), and while it hasn’t yet hit No. 1 on iTunes, it’s come very, very close – and it’s just beginning its journey.
J-Hope Starts Strong With “Mona Lisa”
“Mona Lisa” ranks as the second-bestselling track in the U.S. on the iTunes Top Songs chart as of the time of writing. That list, which tracks the most-purchased songs on the country’s most prominent digital platform, serves as a reliable barometer of sales popularity. It also forecasts how well a tune may perform on the Billboard charts in a few days, as powerful sales usually equate to a lofty debut.
Morgan Wallen Blocks J-Hope From No. 1
The only title ahead of “Mona Lisa” comes from another superstar. Morgan Wallen’s “Just in Case,” the latest single from his upcoming album I’m No Problem, currently sits at No. 1.
Wallen actually occupies two of the top three slots right now, with another new track, “I’m a Little Crazy,” debuting at No. 3. That positions J-Hope squarely between the country juggernaut’s newest releases, though this ranking could change as more fans of the South Korean powerhouse wake up and begin pressing purchase.
J-Hope’s Solo Singles Throughout 2025
“Mona Lisa” is the third single J-Hope has shared so far in 2025, and it arrives on the heels of a pair of releases that have already earned him some chart victories. He kicked off the year by featuring on “LV Bag,” a collaborative effort led by Don Toliver and Speedy. That cut, which also includes Pharrell Williams, debuted at No. 83 on the Hot 100.
This week, “Sweet Dreams” opens on the Hot 100 at No. 66, making it J-Hope’s highest-debuting solo single of 2025 so far. The Miguel-assisted track is also a true standout on the sales front, launching at No. 1 on the Digital Song Sales chart.
Is A Full-Length From J-Hope On The Way?
J-Hope hasn’t formally announced a new album or EP, but the release pattern is certainly suspicious. “LV Bag” may belong to a future Toliver project, but both “Sweet Dreams” and “Mona Lisa” appear to be true solo efforts. If more music is coming soon, it could signal the start of a new full-length era.
