Ateez Matches BTS And Seventeen's Records
Ateez's Golden Hour: Part 3 debuts at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, earning the group its seventh top ... More 10 and helping tie BTS and Seventeen among K-pop acts. SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA - JUNE 12: ATEEZ attends ATEEZ's the 12th mini album 'GOLDEN HOUR : Part.3' press conference at Hotel Naru Seoul MGallery in Mapo-gu on June 12, 2025 in Seoul, South Korea. (Photo by THE FACT/Imazins via Getty Images) Ateez came very, very close to scoring a new No. 1 album in America this week. The K-pop boy band's latest EP, Golden Hour: Part 3, opens in the runner-up spot on the Billboard 200, which ranks as the most consumed project in the nation during the prior tracking frame. While it doesn't give the South Korean superstars another chart-topper, the set does help Ateez tie two of the most successful names to ever emerge from the K-pop scene. Ateez Ties BTS and Seventeen Thanks to the arrival of Golden Hour: Part 3, Ateez has now collected seven top 10 wins on the Billboard 200. With one more appearance inside that region, the band matches both BTS and Seventeen for the most appearances in the top 10 on the Billboard 200 among K-pop acts. Ateez's Seven Top 10 Albums Included among Ateez's seven top 10s are a pair of leaders. The group first hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in December 2023 with The World Will, then returned to the summit less than a year later in late 2024 with Golden Hour: Part 2. Ateez has also stalled in second place on the Billboard 200 with three titles, including its most recent release. BTS Vs. Seventeen Seventeen and BTS may be tied with Ateez for the most top 10s on the Billboard 200 among K-pop boy bands, but the journeys the two acts took to that number are quite different. Six of BTS's seven top 10 efforts have reached No. 1, while Seventeen has yet to conquer the ranking. Golden Hour: Part 3 Debuts With a Huge First-Week Number Golden Hour: Part 3 launches with 105,000 equivalent units shifted, according to Luminate. That sum includes 101,500 pure purchases, easily making it the bestselling album in America this week, if not quite the most consumed. That honor still belongs to One Thing at a Time by Morgan Wallen, which earns its fifth consecutive stay atop the Billboard 200 – and it's about to hold on for a sixth. If Ateez had released this EP during almost any other tracking period, the group would have had a better shot at a third ruler, but the country singer-songwriter's latest effort is simply too popular to beat at the moment. Ateez Passes Enhypen, Stray Kids, TXT and Twice Before this week, Ateez was tied with four other K-pop acts, each boasting half a dozen top 10s on the Billboard 200. Now, Ateez has passed Enhypen, Stray Kids, Tomorrow X Together and Twice — though any of those names could score another big win in America sometime soon, as all remain active and hugely popular.

Ateez Reaches A New Career Peak As It's Latest EP Misses The Main Albums Chart
Ateez's Golden Hour: Part 3 debuts at No. 5 on the Official Album Downloads chart, bringing the ... More K-pop boy band to a new career high. INDIO, CALIFORNIA - APRIL 19: (FOR EDITORIAL USE ONLY) (L-R) San, Choi Jong-ho, Kang Yeo-sang, Jeong Yun-ho, Wooyoung, Song Min-gi, Seonghwa, and Song Min-gi of ATEEZ perform at the Sahara Tent during the 2024 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival at Empire Polo Club on April 19, 2024 in Indio, California. (Photo byfor Coachella) Ateez has been charting hit albums in the United Kingdom for a little more than a decade by this point. This week, the South Korean boy band returns with its brand new EP, Golden Hour: Part 3, and while the short project becomes a top 10 win on one tally, it misses several other rankings the group is used to reaching. Regardless, this frame is a celebratory one for the K-pop favorites. Golden Hour: Part 3 Launches Inside the Top 10 Golden Hour: Part 3 launches on this week's Official Album Downloads chart, ranking as one of the bestselling titles in the U.K. on platforms like iTunes and Amazon. The EP opens at Nos. 5 on the list this frame. Ateez's New Career High Ateez reaches a new career peak on the Official Album Downloads chart as Golden Hour: Part 3 arrives. The boy band has now reached the tally with eight projects, three of which have cracked the top 10. Until now, Golden Hour: Part 1 stood as the act's loftiest placement, as it debuted and peaked at No. 8 last summer. The World EP.2: Outlaw gave the group its first placement inside the highest tier in June 2023, when that set spent a single turn at No. 9. Ateez's New EP Misses the Albums Chart Somewhat surprisingly, while Golden Hour: Part 3 brings Ateez to a new high point on the Official Album Downloads chart, it fails to reach the Official Albums ranking, the main list of the most consumed projects in the U.K. The K-pop stars have already cracked the top 10 on the most important album tally four times. Every project that the group has landed anywhere on the list has spent at least one stay in that region. In 2024, both Golden Hour: Part 1 and Golden Hour: Part 2 peaked at No. 4. Somehow, the third installment in that series misses the tally, as well as several charts focused specifically on pure purchases. 'Lemon Drop' is a Quick Win for the Band The lead single from Golden Hour: Part 3, a tune titled "Lemon Drop," does manage to become a quick bestseller in the U.K. The song was released at the same time as the EP, and this frame, it opens at No. 58 on the Official Singles Downloads list and No. 66 on the Official Singles Sales chart, giving Ateez its sixth win on both rosters.
