ATEEZ
ATEEZ has achieved a historic milestone by entering the Billboard Hot 100, the main singles chart in the United States, for the very first time.
According to Billboard, the American music media outlet, on June 23 (local time), ATEEZ’s title track “Lemon drop” from their 12th mini-album “Golden Hour: Part.3”, released on June 13, debuted at No. 69 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the chart dated June 28.
The Hot 100 combines physical and digital sales, streaming numbers, radio airplay, and YouTube views, and is considered a key indicator of popularity in the pop music industry.
ATEEZ has made history by becoming the first from their group and only the third K-pop boy band ever to enter the Hot 100, a feat that adds even more significance to this accomplishment. They have also solidified their status as a world-class act by charting simultaneously on both the Billboard 200 and Hot 100.
Previously, ATEEZ reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200 with this same mini-album, highlighting their massive popularity. They have now successfully placed seven consecutive albums in the Top 7 of the Billboard 200, with six of those breaking into the Top 3, further proving their consistent global success.
Beyond the U.S. Billboard charts, ATEEZ is also performing strongly on various international rankings, both in album sales and digital performance. They’ve stood out on several UK Official Charts, including the Official Albums Download Chart, Official Singles Sales Chart, and Official Singles Download Chart, showcasing their growing global influence.
They also continue to see outstanding results on platforms such as Billboard Japan, Spotify Korea’s daily and weekly Top Songs charts, the iTunes Top Songs chart in 51 countries, and the Apple Music Top Albums chart in 82 countries, underscoring their unstoppable global rise.
Finally, ATEEZ will kick off their 2025 world tour “IN YOUR FANTASY” on July 5 and 6 at Inspire Arena on Yeongjong Island in Incheon, South Korea. They will then perform in Atlanta (July 10), New York (July 13), Baltimore (July 16), Nashville (July 19), Orlando (July 22), Chicago (July 26), Tacoma (July 30), San Jose (August 2), Los Angeles (August 8), Glendale (August 12), Arlington (August 16), and conclude in Mexico City (August 23).
