ATEEZ have just turned their Golden Hour era into a serious US chart flex. The group’s new EP GOLDEN HOUR : Part.5 debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, their third leader, marking their biggest US sales week yet.
That No. 1 also gives the eight member group nine top 10 entries on the Billboard 200 since 2022, the most of any group in the 2020s according to Billboard reporting. For a team from mid sized label KQ Entertainment, the run confirms that ATEEZ are now a core album act in the US, not a niche K-pop story. With Golden Hour promotions overlapping their ongoing In Your Fantasy world tour, US ATINY are watching how this chart momentum might feed into the next round of American shows.
How ATEEZ Golden Hour Part 5 Hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200
On the Billboard 200 chart dated July 11, 2026, GOLDEN HOUR : Part.5 opened at No. 1, announced July 5 local time. Luminate data cited by Billboard shows 228,000 equivalent album units, including a massive 223,000 in traditional album sales and about 5,000 streaming equivalent units, enough to top Olivia Rodrigo’s You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love and Drake’s Iceman for the week. The project also enters at No. 1 on Top Album Sales, underlining how physical driven the ATEEZ fandom remains in a streaming heavy market.
Released June 26, the five track EP channels what the group’s camp describes as instinct and sensation with playful energy, led by punchy title track BAD alongside songs like Mamacita and Toxin. In Korea, Hanteo Chart reports more than 1.88 million copies sold in the first week, ATEEZ’s own record and at least their sixth million seller, proving the Golden Hour story is global, not just American.
From First No. 1 to a 9 Album Billboard 200 Streak
That performance caps a rapid climb in ATEEZ’s US numbers over the past three years. Since their first Billboard 200 leader in 2023, each major project has opened higher than the last, turning the Golden Hour series into one of the most reliable chart stories in K-pop.
- 2023: THE WORLD EP.FIN : WILL – 152,000 units, first No. 1.
- 2024: GOLDEN HOUR : Part.2 – 184,000 units, second No. 1.
- February 2026: GOLDEN HOUR : Part.4 – 200,000 units, debuting at No. 3.
- June 2026: GOLDEN HOUR : Part.5 – 228,000 units, third No. 1 and new peak.
All told, ATEEZ now have nine consecutive top 10 albums on the Billboard 200, the most of any group in this decade. With those stats arriving from a non Big 4 agency and being powered largely by physical album sales, the group increasingly sits in the same chart conversation as acts like BTS, Stray Kids, and TXT while keeping a distinct, performance focused identity.
Tour Power: ATEEZ Chart Momentum Ahead of In Your Fantasy
In 2025, ATEEZ tested that growing profile on the road with the In Your Fantasy World Tour’s North American stadium leg, hitting 12 cities including Atlanta, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Mexico City. The tour continues through 2026 with stops across Asia and Australia in cities such as Singapore, Melbourne, Sydney, Manila, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, and Bangkok, keeping their live brand visible while GOLDEN HOUR : Part.5 rules the charts.
New US dates beyond the 2025 stadium run have not been announced, but American ATINY are already treating this third Billboard 200 No. 1 as fuel for whatever comes next. Online posts often point to the huge sales of GOLDEN HOUR : Part.5 as proof that demand is there for another round of American stadiums or major festival slots, even if plans remain unconfirmed. Whenever ATEEZ do circle back to the States, songs from GOLDEN HOUR : Part.5 are strong candidates to anchor updated setlists, with the punch of BAD and the swagger of Mamacita tailored for stadium scale stages while fans wait for the next tour announcement.
