TXT’s Yeonjun Extends Solo Momentum With Circle Chart Double Crown And Billboard 200 Debut

TXT member Yeonjun is continuing to build a strong solo record with “NO LABELS: PART 02”, as the project posted notable results on both Korean and U.S. music charts. The mini album and its title track “Ice Cream” delivered a new round of milestones that underline his reach beyond group promotions.

For the Circle weekly charts covering July 5 through July 11, Yeonjun earned a double crown by taking No. 1 on the physical album chart with “NO LABELS: PART 02” and No. 1 on the digital download chart with “Ice Cream”. The result placed him at the center of a competitive release week, with new albums and singles from several active K-pop acts filling out the top ranks.

The physical album chart was led by new releases across the entire top five. Yeonjun’s album opened at No. 1, followed by i-dle’s “We made” at No. 2. VAYONN’s debut EP “Youth Today” entered at No. 3, AHOF’s “RUN TO YOU” arrived at No. 4, and the POCA version of i-dle’s “We made” charted separately at No. 5. That crowded field makes Yeonjun’s album chart win a meaningful marker of fan demand for the solo project.

“Ice Cream” Leads Downloads During A Busy Release Week

Yeonjun’s title track also opened at No. 1 on the weekly digital download chart, giving him leadership on both the album and song side of Circle’s latest update. RESCENE’s remake of “Pretty Girl” entered at No. 2, while i-dle’s “Gimme Dat Love” debuted at No. 3 and AHOF’s “RUN TO YOU” followed at No. 4. RESCENE’s 2024 track “LOVE ATTACK”, which has continued to gain renewed attention, rose to No. 5.

The Circle results show a release that is not relying on only one lane of consumption. Strong album sales can reflect collector demand and fandom organization, while download performance can point to immediate interest in the promoted track. For a soloist emerging from a major group, holding both positions in the same chart week helps define the release as more than a one-format success.

Beyond Korea, “NO LABELS: PART 02” debuted at No. 16 on the Billboard 200, Billboard’s ranking of the most popular albums in the United States. The entry gives Yeonjun his second solo appearance on the chart after “NO LABELS: PART 01”, which reached No. 10 last year. The new placement keeps his solo work visible in one of the industry’s most closely watched international album markets.

Billboard Results Point To Broader Solo Reach

The album also debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s World Albums chart and No. 4 on the Top Album Sales chart, indicating that pure album sales remained a key part of its U.S. performance. Yeonjun additionally re-entered the Artist 100 at No. 17, marking his third week on that chart as a solo performer. The title track “Ice Cream” appeared at No. 89 on Billboard’s Global Excl. U.S. chart, expanding the release’s footprint beyond album-based rankings.

These numbers arrive at a point when K-pop solo releases are increasingly measured across several overlapping indicators: domestic album sales, downloads, streaming visibility, global song charts, and U.S. album rankings. Yeonjun’s latest results touch each of those areas in different ways, creating a fuller picture of how the project is being received across markets.

Circle’s broader weekly update also highlighted the wider competitive environment. CORTIS held No. 1 on both the overall digital chart and streaming chart for a third consecutive week with “REDRED”, while the same five songs filled the top five on both lists: “REDRED”, I.O.I’s “Suddenly”, RESCENE’s “LOVE ATTACK”, aespa’s “LEMONADE”, and ILLIT’s “It’s Me”. The stability of those streaming rankings contrasts with the rush of new releases on the album and download charts.

The global K-pop chart also remained steady at the top, with HUNTR/X’s “Golden” from the “KPop Demon Hunters” soundtrack holding No. 1. BTS’s “SWIM” stayed at No. 2, followed by LE SSERAFIM, ILLIT, and KATSEYE’s collaboration “ICONIC BY MISTAKE” at No. 3. CORTIS and ILLIT completed the top five with “REDRED” and “It’s Me”, respectively.

For Yeonjun, the week adds another layer to a solo arc that has already produced repeat Billboard 200 entries and chart-topping results at home. “NO LABELS: PART 02” now stands as a release with both domestic first-place finishes and measurable U.S. chart impact, reinforcing his position as one of the most closely watched solo figures to emerge from TXT.
