NCT’s Ten Tops iTunes’ Top Song Chart In 13 Regions
NCT’s Ten captivates globally with his solo release, “Birthday”.
NCT’s Ten has once again demanded worldwide attention for a solo release. The all-rounder talent recently made his individual comeback with the track, “Birthday”, released through SM’s STATION: NCT LAB series. The song topped iTunes’ Top Song Chart in a total of 13 regions globally, indicating Ten’s presence as a powerful global artist.

The release showed a stark contrast from the prior side of Ten delivered through his last solo release, “Paint Me Naked”. While the former project highlighted his bright magnetism, “Birthday” encapsulates the artist’s more sultry and fierce charisma.
The R&B dance track includes a minimally repeated drum, marimba sound, and dynamic drop. With these instrumentals, the song creates a dreamy ambiance and brings further attention to Ten’s vocals.
As of writing, the music video for the project surpassed 1.1 million views and continues to grow. The visual accompaniment to “Birthday” delivers a sleek portrayal of the song. Drawing fans further into the track’s melodies and lyricism, Ten bewitches viewers through a mesmerizing performance that showcases just exactly how powerful of a performer he is.
Meanwhile, SM’s STATION: NCT LAB is an archiving project that explores the talents of NCT’s members. The series includes members’ solo songs, self-composed tracks, and unit projects. Each release is met with an explosive reaction from fans, a testament not only to NCT’s global popularity as a group but also to the performing brilliance of its members.
