ATEEZ Conquers Billboard 200 and Korean Music Charts with 'Golden Hour: Part. 4'

ATEEZ, an eight-member K-pop boy group, debuted at number 3 on the US Billboard 200 chart with their 13th EP 'Golden Hour: Part. 4', released on February 6, marking their eighth top 10 entry on the chart. The album recorded 1 million album-equivalent units in the United States during the tracking period, with 950,000 units coming from physical album sales, demonstrating strong sales power in the streaming-dominated North American market. This fourth installment of the 'Golden Hour' series features five tracks including the title song 'Adrenaline' alongside 'Ghost', 'NASA', 'On the Road', and 'Choose', with members Hongjoong and Mingi participating in writing the title track to enhance the group's musical identity. Domestically, ATEEZ achieved four music show trophies by winning first place on Show Champion, Music Bank, Show! Music Core, and SBS Inkigayo, with their wins on MBC's Show! Music Core and SBS Inkigayo marking their first achievements on these programs since debut. Notably, ATEEZ completed a seven-year contract renewal with their agency KQ Entertainment with all eight members last year, maintaining a complete team structure that provides stability for their 'mid-to-long-term global dominance' strategy.
