ATEEZ
The group ATEEZ has demonstrated the stature of a major K-pop representative.
ATEEZ’s 13th mini-album “GOLDEN HOUR : PART 4”, released on the 6th, recorded over 1.54 million copies in initial sales (sales made during the first week following the album’s release).
Thus, following the 8th mini-album, the 9th mini-album, the 2nd studio album, the 10th mini-album, and the 11th mini-album, ATEEZ has made its 13th mini-album its sixth million-seller album in total, confirming the explosive response from global fans to the return of this K-pop representative.
Upon release, ATEEZ’s 13th mini-album ranked number one on the real-time and daily physical album charts of Hanteo Chart, the real-time and daily retail album charts of Circle Chart, the daily album chart of Bugs, as well as the global and European iTunes album charts.
It also dominated various weekly album charts, including first place on the weekly physical album chart of Hanteo Chart, first place on the weekly album chart of Bugs, first place on the weekly album chart of Circle Chart, and second place on the weekly retail album chart.
The title track “Adrenaline” rose to first place on the real-time and daily charts of Bugs, first place on the iTunes Top Songs chart in 21 countries and regions, as well as first place on the weekly download chart of Circle Chart, topping national and international music charts.
Interest in ATEEZ’s comeback is burning worldwide. North America’s largest OTT animation service Crunchyroll, the American Major League Baseball (MLB), and the French online music streaming service Deezer expressed strong interest by leaving comments on content related to ATEEZ.
In particular, the U.S. space agency NASA published a message quoting the line “Shoot for the stars like” from the song “NASA” on the 13th mini-album, illustrating the global influence exerted by ATEEZ.
In this context, ATEEZ won first place with “Adrenaline” on the show “Show! Champion” broadcast on February 11 on MBC M. Unable to appear on the show due to a scheduled commitment, the group sent a message via a VCR video: “Thanks to all the love and support from ATINY (official fandom name), we were able to achieve this precious first place. We’re just getting started, so we’ll show even more amazing performances. Let’s burn intensely together with ATEEZ,” sharing its impressions while echoing the lyrics.
After fully igniting the “adrenaline” of K-pop fans, ATEEZ will continue its comeback activities by appearing today (the 13th) on the show “Music Bank” broadcast on KBS2.
