Released on November 7, 2025, the album’s immediate success across major global music markets, including the United States, Japan, and South Korea, solidifies YeonJun’s position as a formidable solo artist.
A Smashing K-pop Solo Debut on the Billboard 200
Billboard announced on November 17, 2025, that YeonJun’s album will officially debut at #10 on its flagship Billboard 200 chart for the week dated November 22, 2025. This remarkable achievement was fueled by impressive first-week figures in the U.S., including 27,000 traditional album sales and 2,000 streaming equivalent album (SEA) units. This placement marks the second-highest entry for a K-pop male solo artist in 2025, following the #3 rank achieved by Jin of BTS earlier in the year. The strong performance highlights the significant demand for YeonJun’s music and the growing influence of K-pop soloists in the competitive U.S. market.
Dominance in the Japanese Music Market
The album’s success extends to Japan, where it has seen exceptional performance on the Oricon charts. ‘NO LABELS: PART 01’ quickly captivated Japanese fans, signaling a successful international K-pop solo debut. The strong showing on both daily and weekly charts demonstrates a broad and dedicated fanbase.
Oricon Daily and Weekly Success
Shortly after its release, the album soared to the top, ranking #1 on the Oricon Daily Album Ranking on November 10, 2025. It maintained its strong presence by securing the #2 spot on November 14, 2025. Furthermore, for the chart dated November 17, 2025, which aggregated data from November 3 to November 9, ‘NO LABELS: PART 01’ ranked #3 on the Oricon Weekly Digital Album Ranking despite having only three days of sales within the tracking period.
Impressive Domestic Album Sales
Back in South Korea, YeonJun’s album sales have been nothing short of phenomenal. According to the Hanteo Chart, ‘NO LABELS: PART 01’ sold over 600,000 copies in its first week of release, from approximately November 7 to November 13, 2025. This accomplishment earned YeonJun the coveted “half-million seller” title, a significant milestone that underscores his immense commercial power. Achieving such high first-week album sales is a key metric of success in the industry, a feat many established groups celebrate, such as when SF9 doubled their first-week album sales with a past comeback. YeonJun’s debut success proves his widespread popularity and the high anticipation surrounding his solo music.
