The second week of July turned Hanteo into a full K pop scoreboard, with Yeonjun and (G)I-DLE taking different crowns on the platform’s global charts. One look at the numbers shows exactly who is winning album buying versus overall attention right now.
Yeonjun’s solo mini NO LABELS: PART 02 is crushing pure sales, while (G)I-DLE’s We made is edging ahead when Hanteo factors in streaming and social metrics. For fans watching the Yeonjun and (G)I-DLE Hanteo global chart battle, this week spells out which fandoms are moving the needle in the US, Japan, China, and beyond.
How Hanteo Split The Crown This Week
Hanteo’s second week of July charts cover July 6 to 12, which means Yeonjun only had three days of tracking after NO LABELS: PART 02 dropped on July 10. Even so, he topped the Weekly Album Chart with an Album Index of 841,650.75 points and 684,216 copies sold.
(G)I-DLE followed right behind on that same Album Chart, with We made logging an Album Index of 802,129.80 and 620,245 copies. On the domestic side, the Circle Weekly Album Chart also put Yeonjun at No. 1 with 581,091 units, with We made sitting at No. 2 and its POCA version in the top five.
Switch to Hanteo’s World Chart and the picture flips. The World Chart combines global album data with digital, authentication, social, and media signals. There, (G)I-DLE ranked No. 1 for July 6 to 12 with a World Index of 16,367.59, while Yeonjun placed No. 2 with 11,362.36 and BTS’s ARIRANG landed at No. 3 with 10,944.90.
This Yeonjun and (G)I-DLE Hanteo global chart moment basically shows MOA leading the buying war, and Neverland edging ahead once streaming and social buzz are counted.
Yeonjun Turns Hype Into Record Sales And US, Japan Wins
On the sales side, Yeonjun is in historic territory. Hanteo data credits NO LABELS: PART 02 with 661,924 copies on its first day and 738,072 copies in its first week of release, the highest first day and first week numbers for any Korean soloist in 2026 so far.
Those numbers are backed by Korean chart power. Circle’s weekly update confirmed NO LABELS: PART 02 as Yeonjun’s second solo No. 1 there, underlining that his solo brand is matching his group impact at home.
Hanteo’s country rankings show how that translates overseas. For July’s second week, Yeonjun ranked No. 1 in both the US and Japan, ahead of ATEEZ’s GOLDEN HOUR : Part.5 and CORTIS’s GREENGREEN in the US, and above ILLIT’s PINATAPAI and BTS’s ARIRANG in Japan. He also topped Oricon’s Daily Album Ranking, doubling down on Japanese demand.
Yeonjun’s World Chart No. 2 still reflects serious online reach. Title track Ice Cream has sparked over 67,000 TikTok videos, and its music video passed 20 million views in six days, feeding the multi metric side of Hanteo even as album buyers keep pushing his index up.
(G)I-DLE Turn Streaming And China Power Into A Global Lead
For (G)I-DLE, We made is quietly building a different kind of flex. Hanteo counted 620,000 first week sales, or 620,245 units on the July 6 to 12 Album Chart, giving the group its sixth best opening and the fourth biggest 2026 girl group first week behind BLACKPINK, aespa, and IVE.
What shifts the balance is the World Chart. With a World Index over 16,000, (G)I-DLE not only stay ahead of Yeonjun there but also slip past BTS for that specific week. It is a snapshot, not a permanent ranking, yet it proves how strong their mix of albums, digital performance, and global social activity is right now.
China is where Neverland dominate most clearly. On Hanteo’s China chart, We made holds No. 1, followed by aespa’s LEMONADE, with Yeonjun at No. 3. Paired with Yeonjun’s control of the US and Japan rankings, this gives a neat K pop US Japan China chart map of who owns which market.
As more 2026 releases arrive, fans will be watching whether Yeonjun can convert his album strength into a World Chart win, and whether (G)I-DLE can defend their China and global lead. With Hanteo pulling data from international stores like Weverse Shop and global platforms, every US preorder and stream will help decide who takes the next weekly crown.
