ATEEZ reached another milestone in their career after earning their third No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 with “GOLDEN HOUR: Part.5.”
According to Billboard’s latest chart preview released July 5, the group’s latest album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 after earning 228,000 equivalent album units during its first week of tracking.
Of this total, 223,000 units came from album sales alone, aided by multiple CD and vinyl versions released for fans, Variety reported.
The result marks ATEEZ’s third chart-topping album in the United States. The group previously reached No. 1 with “THE WORLD EP.FIN: WILL” in 2023 and “GOLDEN HOUR: Part.2” in 2024.
With the latest achievement, ATEEZ has now placed nine albums in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 since 2022.
Billboard reported that this gives the group the most Top 10 albums among any group in the 2020s, breaking its previous tie with Stray Kids and Tomorrow X Together.
“GOLDEN HOUR: Part.5” was also the only new album to debut in the Top 10 this week. The album outperformed several notable releases, including projects by Olivia Rodrigo and Drake.
