Will any version of Red Velvet's 'Velvet Summer' rank No. 1 on the Circle Weekly Album Chart for August 2-8, 2026?

Red Velvet's full-group mini album 'Velvet Summer' is scheduled for release on August 3 at 6 PM KST, with 'Surfin' Boy' confirmed as the comeback track. Their previous EP 'Cosmic' topped iTunes album charts in 41 regions and the Worldwide iTunes Album Chart, while recent Circle weekly album leaders such as YEONJUN posted 581,091 copies for July 5-11, showing the sales bar Red Velvet needs to clear; with no larger August 3 physical release clearly confirmed in the same window, they look like a moderate favorite. This resolves YES if any 'Velvet Summer' listing is No. 1 on Circle's weekly album chart for August 2-8, 2026.
