Tomorrow X Together (TXT) member Yeonjun has shattered his personal record with his second solo album.
Hanteo Chart, a leading music sales tracker, reported on July 11 that Yeonjun’s mini-album NO LABELS: PART 02 sold an impressive 661,924 copies on its release day, July 10. This stellar performance secured the top spot on the daily album chart. The album’s first-day sales not only surpassed his previous release’s first-week sales of 601,105 copies but also claimed the title of highest first-day sales for any South Korean solo artist’s album in 2023.
The new release made waves in the global music scene as well. As of 10:00 a.m. (Korean time) on July 11, it clinched the #1 position on iTunes Top Albums charts in 11 countries and regions, including Japan, Thailand, and Saudi Arabia. The album also secured impressive rankings on broader charts, placing 5th on the Worldwide iTunes Albums chart and 10th on the European iTunes Albums chart. The title track “Ice Cream” dominated iTunes Top Songs charts in 10 countries and regions, including the United Arab Emirates, Vietnam, and the Philippines. On the home front, “Ice Cream” quickly rose to the top of the real-time chart on Bugs, a popular domestic music streaming platform, just hours after its release at 2:00 p.m. (Korean time) on July 10.
Yeonjun first burst onto the K-pop scene as a member of Tomorrow X Together in 2019. The group has since released a string of hits including “Crown,” “9 and Three Quarters (Run Away),” “0X1=LOVESONG (I Know I Love You),” “Sugar Rush Ride,” and “Happy Fools.” Following his solo mixtape “Gum” in 2024, Yeonjun made his official solo debut last November and has been steadily carving out his individual artistic identity in the industry.
