ATEEZ Is Taking Over the Billboard Charts
ATEEZ, the eight-member K-pop powerhouse, just pulled off a feat that has fans screaming worldwide: conquering both of Billboard’s main charts, ‘Billboard 200’ and ‘Hot 100’, in one bold move. Their reign began with the release of their 12th mini album, ‘Golden Hour: Part 3’, and its deluxe version, ‘In Your Fantasy Edition’, which are making history for the group and K-pop boy groups alike.
‘Golden Hour: Part 3’ Debuts with a Bang
Released in June, ‘Golden Hour: Part 3’ stormed in at No. 2 on the Billboard 200—it’s the highest first-week sales by a K-pop act on the chart in 2024, selling over 100,000 copies. Oh, and ATEEZ didn’t stop there. The album also topped Billboard’s ‘World Albums,’ ‘Top Album Sales,’ and ‘Top Current Album Sales’ charts.
This powerhouse combo earned them the No. 2 spot on the ‘Artist 100’ chart. The title track ‘Lemon Drop’ even cracked the ‘Hot 100’ at No. 69, making ATEEZ only the third K-pop boy group ever to enter the chart.
Breaking More Records with ‘In Your Fantasy Edition’
One month later, the group outdid themselves. ‘In Your Fantasy Edition’ climbed to No. 68 on the ‘Hot 100’, topping their previous single and setting a new personal record. The title track ‘In Your Fantasy’ soared to No. 1 on the ‘World Digital Song Sales’ and locked in at No. 7 on ‘Digital Song Sales.’
Even the solo tracks from members like Wooyoung’s ‘Sagittarius’ and Seonghwa’s ‘Skin’ charted in the top 10 on the ‘World Digital Song Sales’—proving this comeback is hitting on all fronts.
Re-entering the ‘Billboard 200’ with Style
As if dominating the first time wasn’t enough, ‘Golden Hour: Part 3’ re-entered the Billboard 200, landing at No. 7 on the July 26 chart. That’s five straight weeks on the charts and counting—not to mention, their 11th mini album, ‘Golden Hour: Part.2’, also re-emerged, hitting No. 24 on ‘World Albums’.
The group has now placed seven consecutive albums in the top 7 of the Billboard 200 since 2022’s ‘The World EP.1: Movement’. If that’s not domination, what is?
From Atlanta to Tokyo: ATEEZ’s Global Power Play
On top of their chart success, ATEEZ is in the middle of their ‘IN YOUR FANTASY’ 2025 World Tour, already lighting up U.S. stages in cities like New York, Nashville, and Orlando. Next up? Chicago, Tacoma, and a packed arena tour in Japan including Saitama, Nagoya, and Kobe.
ATEEZ Isn’t Just Here—They’re Ruling
With their dual chart takeover, back-to-back hits, and solo success, ATEEZ is proving they’re not just riding the Hallyu wave—they’re redefining it. As their star rises higher, one question remains: How much more history will they make before the year is up?
