Group ATEEZ is demonstrating strong global presence by continuing its long-running success on the US Billboard charts.
According to the latest chart released by American music media Billboard on the 28th (local time), ATEEZ's 14th mini album 'GOLDEN HOUR : Part.5' recorded 121st place on 'Billboard 200' (as of August 1st), the main album chart.
In particular, the group showed its mettle by raising its rankings on the World Albums Chart and Top Album Sales Chart compared to the previous week. Previously, the 14th mini album went straight to the top of the 'Billboard 200' in its first week of release, setting a record for the highest first-week US sales, and the group became the artist with the most entries into the 'Billboard 200' TOP 10 among K-pop groups in the 2020s.
The heat of the title track 'BAD' shows no signs of cooling. Even after the music broadcast activities ended, it continues to show an upward trend on major domestic music charts, recording 12th place on Melon's real-time chart, 18th on the daily chart, and 21st on the weekly chart. Additionally, the 'BAD' challenge rapidly spread across various fields including baseball, entertainment, and general companies, proving its broad topicality. It has become a trend with participation from figures across all sectors of society, transcending just artists.
ATEEZ is expanding this success to Japan. The 5th Japanese single released at midnight on the 29th includes a total of 6 tracks: the Japanese version of 'BAD', new songs 'Seeker' and 'HIGHER', and instrumental versions of each song, offering diverse charm. The 'BAD' Japanese version music video released with the audio perfectly combines the members' individuality, overwhelming performance, and differentiated direction unique to the Japanese version, delivering heightened immersion.
Meanwhile, ATEEZ will hold the 2026 ATEEZ fan meeting 'ATINY's Voyage : Tiny Mystery' at K-Arena Yokohama for 3 days from August 4th to 6th and spend meaningful time with local fans.
