[Edaily Starin KIM HYUNSIK Reporter] Boy band ATEEZ has once again topped the Billboard 200, the main U.S. album chart.

According to a chart preview article posted on Billboard’s official website on the 5th (local time), ATEEZ’s 14th mini-album, “GOLDEN HOUR: Part.5,” topped the latest Billboard 200 chart.
ATEEZ’s new album topped the latest Billboard 200 chart, ahead of Olivia Rodrigo’s “YOU SEEM PRETTY SAD FOR A GIRL SO IN LOVE” (No. 2), Ella Langley’s “Dandelion” (No. 3), Drake’s “ICEMAN” (No. 4), and Morgan Wallen’s “I’m the Problem” (No. 5).
ATEEZ, a group under KQ Entertainment, has gained popularity since their debut in 2018 by showcasing powerful music and performances. They have transcended the limitations typically faced by idols from smaller agencies and built a solid fan base around the world.
This marks their third time topping the Billboard 200. Previously, they topped the same chart with their second full-length album, *THE WORLD EP. FINAL: WILL*, released in December 2023, and their 11th mini-album, *GOLDEN HOUR: Part 2*, released in November 2024.

The Billboard 200 is a chart that ranks albums based on album unit scores, which are calculated by combining physical album sales, streaming figures converted to album sales (SEA), and digital track downloads converted to album sales (TEA).
ATEEZ’s new album, “Golden Hour: Part 5,” recorded 228,000 album units during this chart’s tracking period. Of these, 223,000 were counted as album sales, including physical copies.
ATEEZ first entered the Billboard 200 in 2021 and successfully broke into the Top 10 of the chart the following year. Since then, they have placed a total of nine albums in the Top 10. Billboard explained, “ATEEZ has become the group with the most Top 10 albums on the Billboard 200 since the start of the 2020s.”
“Golden Hour: Part 5,” an album consisting of five tracks including the title track “BAD,” was released on the 26th of last month. According to Hanteo Chart, a South Korean album sales tracking site, the album sold over 1.88 million copies in the week following its release.
On the day of the album’s release, ATEEZ shared their thoughts on their comeback with Edaily, saying, “We put a lot of effort into every song on the tracklist, paying attention to even a single line of lyrics. We hope you enjoy this summer with ATEEZ’s new album.”
ATEEZ will hold a fan meeting over three days, from the 17th to the 19th, at the Hwajeong Gymnasium on the campus of Korea University in Seoul.
