TOMORROW X TOGETHER’s (TXT) Yeonjun has taken the global music market by storm, breaking into the main U.S. Billboard charts.
Billboard, the leading American music industry publication, released its latest charts on Tuesday for the week of July 25. According to the report, Yeonjun’s second mini-album, NO LABELS: PART 02, made an impressive debut at No. 16 on the Billboard 200, the main album chart.
This marks the highest-charting Korean solo artist album of the year. Following the success of his debut solo album last year, Yeonjun has once again proven his exceptional prowess as a global solo artist by charting on the Billboard 200 for two consecutive releases. The album also claimed the top spot on the World Albums chart and secured an impressive No. 4 position on the Top Album Sales chart.
The title track “Ice Cream” has also made waves, landing at No. 89 on the Global (excluding U.S.) chart. Riding on his widespread popularity across both streaming and physical album sales, Yeonjun effortlessly secured the No. 17 position on the Artist 100 chart, which reflects an artist’s overall impact in the industry.
“Ice Cream” has become the definitive summer anthem in the South Korean music scene, garnering intense attention. It topped the latest weekly chart on Bugs, a major domestic music platform (for the period of July 13-19), and has consistently claimed the top spot on terrestrial music shows like KBS 2TV’s Music Bank and MBC’s Show! Music Core. Notably, the performance, which Yeonjun helped choreograph, maximizes the song’s unique sensory appeal and refreshing charm, eliciting enthusiastic responses from music fans worldwide.
Yeonjun debuted as part of TOMORROW X TOGETHER in 2019, releasing hits like “Crown,” “9 and Three Quarters (Run Away),” “0X1=LOVESONG (I Know I Love You),” “Sugar Rush Ride,” and “Blue Hour.” He showcased his solo mixtape “GUM” in 2024, further solidifying his presence after his solo debut last November.
