ATEEZ
The group ATEEZ has taken over the Billboard charts in the United States.
ATEEZ continues its unstoppable rise to the top with two versions of its 12th mini-album: “GOLDEN HOUR: Part.3”, released last month, and “GOLDEN HOUR: Part.3 – In Your Fantasy Edition”, released on July 11. With these two albums, the group has dominated the Billboard charts for two consecutive months.
First, “GOLDEN HOUR: Part.3” climbed to No. 2 on the Billboard 200, the platform’s main album chart, on the June 28 ranking. With over 100,000 copies sold in its first week, ATEEZ recorded the highest first-week album sales among K-pop artists on the chart this year, drawing major attention.
Additionally, the group ranked No. 1 on the World Albums, Top Album Sales, and Top Current Album Sales charts, and reached No. 2 on the Billboard Artist 100, affirming its global popularity. The title track “Lemon drop” landed at No. 69 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking ATEEZ’s first-ever entry on the chart and making them only the third K-pop boy group to do so, an outstanding achievement.
Thanks to these milestones, ATEEZ entered both of Billboard’s main charts, the Billboard 200 and Hot 100, at the same time, a historic moment in its career. Furthermore, from “THE WORLD EP.1: MOVEMENT” to “GOLDEN HOUR: Part.3”, the group has placed seven consecutive albums in the Top 7 of the Billboard 200.
Continuing that momentum, the “In Your Fantasy Edition” of the 12th mini-album, released on July 11, entered the Hot 100 at No. 68 on the July 26 chart. Not only did ATEEZ re-enter the chart within a month, but they also surpassed its previous record, reaching its highest Hot 100 ranking yet—further proving its growing dominance in the U.S. market.
The title track “In your fantasy” also took No. 1 on the World Digital Song Sales chart and No. 7 on the Digital Song Sales chart. In addition, solo tracks by members, “Sagittarius” by WOOYOUNG, “Skin” by SEONGHWA, “Slide to me” by YUNHO, “Legacy” by YEOSANG, and “Roar” by MINGI, all ranked in the Top 10 of the World Digital Song Sales, from positions 6 to 10, further proving their strong individual popularity.
Fueled by this excitement, “GOLDEN HOUR: Part.3” re-entered the Billboard 200 at No. 7 on the July 26 chart, marking another milestone in their history. The album also reclaimed No. 1 on the World Albums chart, and placed No. 2 on both the Top Album Sales and Top Current Album Sales charts, maintaining a presence on the rankings for five consecutive weeks. Even the 11th mini-album, “GOLDEN HOUR: Part.2”, released last November, returned to the World Albums chart at No. 24, continuing the group’s upward momentum.
With both versions of its 12th mini-album, ATEEZ has remained on the Billboard charts for nearly two months, showcasing their massive popularity. By conquering both the Billboard 200 and Hot 100, the group has further solidified its status as a world-class artist, drawing growing global anticipation for their future activities.
Meanwhile, ATEEZ recently wrapped up the U.S. leg of their 2025 world tour “IN YOUR FANTASY”, which kicked off on July 10 (local time) in Atlanta. The group performed in New York, Baltimore, Nashville, and Orlando, and will continue across 12 North American cities, including Chicago, Tacoma, San Jose, Los Angeles, Glendale, Arlington, and Mexico City. Afterward, they will head to Japan for concerts in Saitama, Nagoya, and Kobe, continuing their spectacular global journey.
