ATEEZ Dominates U.S. Billboard Charts
ATEEZ has taken over the U.S. Billboard charts.
With their 12th mini album GOLDEN HOUR : Part.3, released last month, and the recently released GOLDEN HOUR : Part.3 'In Your Fantasy Edition' on the 11th of this month, ATEEZ has dominated the Billboard charts over the past two months, continuing their unstoppable rise to the top.
GOLDEN HOUR : Part.3 debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 main chart dated June 28. The album sold over 100,000 copies in its first week, marking the highest first-week sales by a K-pop artist on the chart this year, drawing major attention.
The album also topped the World Albums, Top Album Sales, and Top Current Album Sales charts. Additionally, ATEEZ ranked No. 2 on the Billboard Artist 100, gaining massive global attention. The title track Lemon Drop entered the Hot 100 at No. 69, marking the group's first-ever entry on the main Billboard songs chart and making ATEEZ only the third K-pop boy group to achieve this feat.
By simultaneously charting on both of Billboard’s main charts—the Billboard 200 and the Hot 100—ATEEZ has made history in the mainstream music market. From their 8th mini album THE WORLD EP.1 : MOVEMENT to their 12th mini album GOLDEN HOUR : Part.3, they have placed seven consecutive albums in the Top 7 of the Billboard 200, setting a new record.
The GOLDEN HOUR : Part.3 'In Your Fantasy Edition', released on July 11, entered the Hot 100 at No. 68 on the July 26 chart. This marks their second appearance on the chart within a month, and with an even higher ranking than before, the group broke its own record, proving their formidable strength on the Billboard charts.
The title track In Your Fantasy also ranked No. 1 on World Digital Song Sales and No. 7 on Digital Song Sales. Furthermore, solo tracks from members Wooyoung (Sagittarius), Seonghwa (Skin), Yunho (Slide to Me), Yeosang (Legacy), and Mingi (ROAR) all ranked between No. 6 and No. 10 on the World Digital Song Sales chart, showcasing their immense popularity.
GOLDEN HOUR : Part.3 also re-entered the Billboard 200 at No. 7 on the July 26 chart. It ranked No. 1 on World Albums and No. 2 on both Top Album Sales and Top Current Album Sales, successfully charting for five consecutive weeks. Meanwhile, their 11th mini album GOLDEN HOUR : Part.2, released in November last year, also re-entered at No. 24 on World Albums, highlighting their powerful presence.
With their 12th mini album and its special edition, ATEEZ has swept the U.S. Billboard charts over the past two months, showcasing explosive popularity. Simultaneously conquering the Billboard 200 and Hot 100, ATEEZ has further solidified their position as a “world-class artist,” drawing even greater attention from global fans for their future endeavors.
Meanwhile, ATEEZ successfully kicked off their 2025 world tour IN YOUR FANTASY on the 10th (local time) in Atlanta, followed by stops in New York, Baltimore, Nashville, and Orlando. They are set to continue their North American tour in a total of 12 cities, including Chicago, Tacoma, San Jose, Los Angeles, Glendale, Arlington, and Mexico City, before heading to Japan for performances in Saitama, Nagoya, and Kobe, continuing their dazzling global journey.
