ATEEZ Enters Billboard Hot 100 for the First Time
South Korean boy group ATEEZ has made history by landing on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for the first time. According to Billboard’s announcement on June 23 (local time), the group’s latest title track “Lemon Drop” from their 12th mini-album Golden Hour: Part.3 debuted at No. 69 on the chart dated June 28.
A Milestone for K-pop
The Billboard Hot 100 ranks songs based on a combination of physical sales, digital downloads, streaming numbers, radio airplay, and YouTube views, and is widely regarded as the ultimate benchmark for mainstream success in the U.S. music market. ATEEZ is now the third K-pop boy group to achieve this feat, a landmark moment in their career.
Moreover, by simultaneously reaching both the Billboard 200 and Hot 100, ATEEZ solidifies their reputation as a ‘world-class artist.’
Climbing the Charts Globally
Earlier this month, ATEEZ’s Golden Hour: Part.3 debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, marking their seventh album to place in the Top 7 and sixth to break into the Top 3. It’s a testament to their growing influence across global markets.
The group is also dominating other major charts. They’ve appeared on the UK’s Official Singles and Albums Download Charts, as well as Japan’s Billboard Download Album chart. Back home in South Korea, they’re performing strongly on Spotify’s Daily and Weekly Top Songs charts.
Additionally, they’ve topped iTunes charts in 51 countries and Apple Music album charts in 82, proving their worldwide appeal is stronger than ever.
Global Tour Kicks Off This Summer
ATEEZ is also gearing up for their 2025 World Tour IN YOUR FANTASY, starting with two shows in Incheon, South Korea, on July 5 and 6. The tour will then take them to cities across the United States, including Atlanta, New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles, before heading to Mexico City on August 23.
As their chart presence grows stronger, ATEEZ continues to cement their place as a powerhouse in the K-pop scene, giving fans around the world plenty to celebrate.
