Nope, unless you write your own X or Wayland, that will but itself ontop of the VT (as in VT1-VT6).
To start applications from the cli, you must either be in a terminal window so you can start GUI applications, or if you're on a VT, the application must be a CLI tool.
There are several applications that work on the CLI, from email via IRC to torrent clients and much more (alsamixer for example).
These kind of applications (binary) are usualy written using
ncruses.
If you like to have an interface like feeling on the console using scripts,
TUI could be of help.

SCROBBLE-CLI(1) General Commands Manual SCROBBLE-CLI(1)
NAME
scrobble-cli - a last.fm submitter for portable devices
SYNOPSIS
scrobble-cli [options]
DESCRIPTION
scrobble-cli is a program to submit information about tracks which have been listened to from a portable music player to last.fm
(previously known as Audioscrobbler). scrobble-cli can read this information from .scrobbler.log files (i.e. produced by the open Rockbox
firmware), from iPod databases, or from devices that use MTP (aka Plays for Sure). In addition to this, scrobble-cli can adjust the
date/time information relating to when the track was listened to before uploading. This can be useful if your device is set to a different
timezone to the machine you upload from.
OPTIONS
This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included
below.
-c, --playcounts

-d, --database

-l, --location <path>

this path).
-m, --mtp
Submit from a MTP (aka Plays for Sure) device
-n, --now
Recalculates the times each track was played before submission. Automatically enabled if using a .scrobbler-timeless.log or MTP
device.
-p, --password <password>
Last.fm account password
-r, --recalc <datetime>
Recalculates the play time for each track. <datetime> should be a UNIX timestamp.
