ATEEZ Crashes Back Into Billboard 200 at No. 7
K-pop powerhouse ATEEZ is showing no signs of slowing down. Their 12th mini album, Golden Hour: Part.3, has roared back onto the Billboard 200 chart—this time at No. 7 for the week of July 26. Originally released on June 13, the album is enjoying renewed momentum thanks to a special reissue that’s got fans hitting replay worldwide.
From Top 3 to 7 Albums in a Row: ATEEZ’s Chart Legacy
Golden Hour: Part.3 had already wowed watchers earlier by debuting at No. 2—marking ATEEZ’s highest Billboard 200 placement to date. Now, with its re-entry, the group has officially placed seven consecutive albums in the chart’s Top 7 since The World EP.1: Movement. That’s a flex few groups can claim.
Enter: The ‘In Your Fantasy’ Edition
The surge comes hot on the heels of ATEEZ’s newly released repackaged version—Golden Hour: Part.3 ‘In Your Fantasy Edition’—made available globally on July 11. This edition sparked renewed buzz, landing No.1 on iTunes Top Albums in 12 countries and second on the Worldwide iTunes Albums chart. If that’s not ‘main character energy,’ we don’t know what is.
The Title Track Is Charting Too
And it’s not just the album that’s grabbing numbers. The title track, In Your Fantasy, topped iTunes charts in five countries and hit No. 3 on the Worldwide iTunes Song Chart. It also broke into Spotify’s daily Top Songs charts in both South Korea and the U.S.—proving this fantasy is definitely mutual.
ATEEZ Takes Over North America, Heads to Japan Next
Stateside, ATEEZ recently wrapped the U.S. leg of their ‘In Your Fantasy’ World Tour, performing in cities like Atlanta, New York, and Los Angeles. But they’re not done yet: the eight-member group is moving on to Japan, with stops in Saitama, Nagoya, and Kobe lined up. Sail on, kings.
A Global Force with No Brakes
ATEEZ’s ability to re-enter one of the world’s most competitive music charts weeks after release is no small feat. With fierce fandom energy (shoutout to ATINY) and savvy global strategy, the group cements themselves as one of K-pop’s most consistent chart-toppers.
So, is there anything ATEEZ can’t do right now?
