'Solo comeback' T.O.P finally delivers... "Reaching the Billboard chart's top 20 holds great significance" [Star Issue]

On the 26th (local time), T.O.P participated in an interview with Jeff Benjamin, a global pop columnist for Billboard, regarding his first solo full-length album, "ANOTHER DIMENSION." First, T.O.P commented on the achievement of reaching number 20 on the Billboard World Albums chart through digital release alone alongside the album's launch, stating, "'ANOTHER DIMENSION' is an album completed precisely to my taste. It took a long time to return with music, and I sincerely thank you for your love." Continuing, T.O.P introduced his first full-length album as a "37-minute movie-like album that freely crosses genres according to my taste," adding, "As my first solo full-length album, reaching the Billboard World Albums chart with 'ANOTHER DIMENSION' as a solo artist holds great meaning for me." T.O.P also conveyed his goals and direction while working on "ANOTHER DIMENSION." He explained, "My goal was to create a work with a unique structure, like an exhibition, and gift it to my fans. I wanted it to be more than just music to listen to; I wanted everyone who owns the album to feel it is something worth keeping. It seems those ideas were successfully realized." He then said, "I am truly grateful that I can connect with my fans again through new music. I am currently producing music videos for some songs from the full-length album in a new way without a Navy Headquarters. I hope you look forward to the projects to be released in the future." Finally, T.O.P expressed his affection for his fans, saying, "I wanted to share new music with you a little sooner. Starting with this album, I will continue to repay you with music. I will keep striving to become an artist who always sincerely creates something new." Returning in April this year with his first solo full-length album "ANOTHER DIMENSION," T.O.P demonstrated his enduring presence by performing well on various global charts. On the day of release, he set the record for the most streams among K-POP solo artists in 2026 with approximately 1.47 million streams on Spotify, while also achieving number one on iTunes in 15 countries worldwide and reaching number 20 on the Billboard World Albums chart, announcing his spectacular return as an artist.
