BOYNEXTDOOR ‘I Feel Good’ Comeback Shakes Up the Charts
Rookie sensation BOYNEXTDOOR is rewriting their career narrative with the release of their fourth mini-album, No Genre. Dropped on May 13, the album has made a thunderous debut across major platforms, proving that the BOYNEXTDOOR I Feel Good comeback isn’t just a fan celebration—it’s a full-on K-pop takeover.
“I Feel Good” Tops Real-Time Charts
The album’s title track, “I Feel Good,” rocketed to the top of Bugs’ real-time chart as soon as midnight hit on May 14. More impressively, it landed at #5 on Melon’s Top 100, Korea’s premier music chart that evaluates both daily streaming and real-time data. This dual metric performance showcases not just fan anticipation, but strong and sustained listener engagement.
But the buzz didn’t stop there. Earlier release “Today Only I LOVE YOU” rebounded with force, climbing to #4 on Melon’s Top 100. Meanwhile, other B-sides from No Genre are lighting up the chart:
- “123-78” at #6
- “Step By Step” at #9
- “Are You Kidding Me?” at #10
- “Next Mistake” at #12
It’s the first time nearly an entire BOYNEXTDOOR album has simultaneously charted in Melon’s Top 100—a testament to their growing musical presence.
Record-Breaking Album Sales Set New Standard
BOYNEXTDOOR’s digital dominance is matched by their physical album sales. According to Hanteo Chart, No Genre sold a staggering 708,558 copies on its first day alone—beating the first-day performance of their previous mini-album WHY.. by over 100,000 units.
This meteoric jump suggests that No Genre may soon become the group’s second million-seller, following the success of 19.99, which has already surpassed 1 million copies in total sales.
Global Domination Across iTunes and Beyond
The BOYNEXTDOOR I Feel Good comeback isn’t confined to Korea. By 6 a.m. KST on May 14, No Genre topped iTunes Top Albums charts in seven countries:
- Japan
- Indonesia
- The Philippines
- Hong Kong
- Taiwan
- Thailand
- Vietnam
Altogether, the album charted in 13 countries and regions, including Canada, Denmark, Mexico, Russia, and Türkiye. “I Feel Good” itself reached the Top Songs chart in 11 regions and soared to #3 on Japan’s Line Music Real-Time chart, underlining their widespread appeal across both Western and Asian markets.
“No Genre” Defines BOYNEXTDOOR’s Artistic Identity
As the title suggests, No Genre reflects the group’s refusal to be boxed into one musical category. Featuring a bold mix of pop, R&B, and hip-hop, the album embodies BOYNEXTDOOR’s commitment to versatility. Members Myungjaehyun, Taesan, and Unhak participated in writing the title track, adding authenticity to its free-spirited message.
“I Feel Good” is a feel-good anthem that mirrors their energetic personality and confidence—a fitting representation of where they are creatively.
BOYNEXTDOOR’s Rapid Rise in K-pop’s 4th Generation
Since debuting under KOZ Entertainment, a HYBE label founded by Zico, BOYNEXTDOOR has consistently grown in both domestic and international appeal. Their debut project WHO! launched in May 2023, and in just one year, they’ve gone from rising rookies to a serious presence in the industry.
The overwhelming success of No Genre makes it clear: BOYNEXTDOOR isn’t just participating in the K-pop scene—they’re redefining it with each release.
