K-pop boy band ATEEZ bagged their first-ever ranking on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the US.
Billboard announced that ATEEZ’s “Lemon Drop,” a track from their new album “Golden Hour : Part.3,” which came out on June 13, debuted at No. 69 on the June 28-dated Hot 100 chart.
“The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data, the lattermost metric reflecting purchases of physical singles and digital tracks from full-service digital music retailers; digital singles sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites are excluded from chart calculations,” according to Billboard.
“ATINY [fans]! Our very first ranking on the Billboard Hot 100 charts! Thank you so much! This wouldn't be possible without you. Cheers to ATINY!” ATEEZ posted on X.
They are the third K-pop boy band to rank on the Billboard Hot 100 chart after BTS and Stray Kids.
In addition, ATEEZ’s “Golden Hour : Part.3” debuted at No. 2 on the June 28-dated Billboard 200 chart.
With this, they have placed seven albums in the top 7 in a row and a total of six in the top three.
ATEEZ will start their 2025 tour “In Your Fantasy” at Inspire Arena in Incheon, South Korea on July 5 and 6.
