J-Hope is doing everything he can to turn his new single into a hit on the Billboard chart. The singer and rapper is pulling out all the stops and relying on a tried-and-true tactic to rack up as many purchases as possible in the track’s debut tracking frame — an incredibly important period for the just-released collaboration.
On Tuesday (March 11) J-Hope dropped an EP centered around “Sweet Dreams,” appropriately titled Sweet Dreams (zzZ Remixes). The short set includes six tracks, all of which are slightly altered versions of “Sweet Dreams.” Fans flocked to the collection in the hopes of turning the top tune into a major success, which already seems likely.
‘Sweet Dreams’ Remixes Flood iTunes
As of the writing of this article, all six versions of “Sweet Dreams” appear inside the top 40 on the American iTunes chart. The biggest win among the bunch is the original, which finds J-Hope and R&B superstar Miguel performing the track, and that one lands at No. 14.
J-Hope’s Many New Releases
Five other takes on “Sweet Dreams” debut on iTunes’ ranking of the bestselling songs in America. The band remix opens at No. 21, followed closely by the Johnny Gold reworking at No. 22, and the instrumental version at No. 23.
Just a few spots further down, two additional renditions — one slowed down and one sped up — make an appearance. The slower version launches at No. 25 and the faster take starts at No. 26, right next to one another.
Billboard’s Charting Method Boosts Sales
Billboard will combine the sales of each and every version of “Sweet Dreams” into one charting entity. This means that devoted fans of J-Hope — and potentially BTS as a group — could purchase multiple copies of not just the original track, but also the instrumental and various remixes. This combined sales sum will likely help push the song toward a significant showing on the Digital Song Sales chart and perhaps even the Hot 100.
J-Hope’s Winning Streak
“Sweet Dreams” is J-Hope’s second new single of 2025. Just a few weeks back, he joined Don Toliver on the tune “LV Bag,” which also credited Pharrell Williams and Speedy. That cut became a quick, if only momentary, success on a handful of Billboard’s hip-hop-focused rankings, as well as the Hot 100, where the track spent one frame in the lower reaches of the competitive list.
