Plus, Rich The Kid Holds at No. 1 & Blac Youngsta hits the top 10.

BTS member J-Hope (full name: Jung Ho-seok) makes his solo debut on Billboard's charts, as he bows at No. 3 on the Emerging Artists chart (dated March 10).

J-Hope's debut is powered by his first solo EP, Hope World, which arrives at No. 63 on the Billboard 200 with 9,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending March 1, according to Nielsen Music. Notably, he notches the highest rank ever for a solo K-pop artist on the Billboard 200; BTS, meanwhile, holds the overall record among K-pop acts, having hit No. 7 on Oct. 7, 2017, with Love Yourself: Her.

Of the opening-week unit sum for Hope World, 8,000 were in traditional album sales, sparking the set's launch at No. 1 on the sales-based World Albums chart.

J-Hope concurrently sends three tracks onto World Digital Song Sales, led by "Daydream" at No. 3.

The Emerging Artists chart uses the same formula as the all-encompassing Billboard Artist 100, which measures artist activity across multiple Billboard charts, including the Billboard Hot 100, Billboard 200 and the Social 50. However, the Emerging Artists chart excludes acts that have notched a top 25 entry on either the Hot 100 or Billboard 200, as well as artists that have achieved two or more top 10s on Billboard's "Hot" song genre charts and/or consumption-based "Top" album genre rankings.

J-Hope is the third member of BTS to reach the Emerging Artists chart. RM (full name: Kim Nam-joon) was the first, as he debuted and peaked at No. 46 on Jan. 3 on the strength of Fall Out Boy’s "Champion," on which he's featured. Agust D (who goes by Suga in BTS and whose full name is Min Yoon-gi) was the second, as he also debuted and peaked at No. 46 on the March 3-dated chart.

Rich The Kid leads the Emerging Artists chart for a second week, as his breakthrough single "New Freezer," featuring Kendrick Lamar, jumps 46-42 on the Billboard Hot 100 and holds at its No. 22 high on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. His "Plug Walk" also vaults from No. 69 to No. 55 on the Hot 100.

"Freezer" drew 18.2 million radio audience impressions (up 20 percent), 13.2 million U.S. streams (up 4 percent) and 5,000 downloads sold (up 4 percent) in the tracking week.

Rounding out the Emerging Artists' top five are country acts Devin Dawson (3-2), Jordan Davis (8-4) and Walker Hayes (2-5).

Among other Emerging Artists moves, Blac Youngsta vaults 29-6, entering the top 10 for the first time as his album 223 opens at No. 17 on Top Rap Albums, No. 22 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and No. 42 on the Billboard 200 with 12,000 units. He also makes his Hot 100 debut with "Booty" at No. 81.
