ATEEZ just pulled off a major Billboard week with “GOLDEN HOUR : Part.5”. And the numbers really are massive. According to Billboard, the group’s latest release debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 after earning 228,000 equivalent album units in the United States. An overwhelming 223,000 of that total came from pure album sales, giving ATEEZ their biggest U.S. week so far.
And that was only part of the story. “GOLDEN HOUR : Part.5” also hit No. 1 on Top Album Sales and World Albums. Billboard also reported that ATEEZ returned to the top of the Artist 100, completing a four-chart sweep for the week.
ATEEZ Beats Olivia Rodrigo and Drake on This Week’s Charts
This achievement is even more impressive because of their competition. ATEEZ ranked higher than huge stars like Olivia Rodrigo and Drake on the Billboard 200 chart. It really shows just how dedicated their U.S. fans are when it comes to buying their albums.
This success made ATEEZ the biggest topic in K-pop this week. For ATINY, it was the perfect comeback week that fans dream of.
A Major ATEEZ Billboard Milestone
With this latest No. 1, ATEEZ has now collected their third Billboard 200 chart-topper. Before this, ATEEZ topped the Billboard 200 with both ‘GOLDEN HOUR : Part.2’ in 2024 and ‘THE WORLD EP.FIN : WILL’ in 2023. That alone is a huge milestone. But the group also reached their ninth Top 10 entry on the Billboard 200, tying BTS for the most Top 10 albums by a Korean act.
- No. 1 on Billboard 200
- No. 1 on Top Album Sales
- No. 1 on World Albums
- No. 1 on Artist 100
Korea Sales Were Just As Strong
The album’s momentum was already obvious in Korea. Hanteo Chart confirmed that “GOLDEN HOUR : Part.5” passed 1.1 million sales in just four days. By the end of its first week, local reports said the album had sold about 1.88 million copies, making it ATEEZ’s seventh million-seller.
So this wasn’t just a strong U.S. debut. It was a full-scale sales surge on both sides of the market, powered by huge physical numbers in Korea and a career-best Billboard week in the U.S.
Between the Billboard 200 debut, the four-chart sweep, and the BTS-tying Top 10 total, “GOLDEN HOUR : Part.5” has become one of ATEEZ’s biggest achievement stories of the year. Additionally, the track ‘BAD’ has hit a new peak on the Melon Top 100, reaching No. 37.
