The group ATEEZ has successfully entered the 'Hot 100' chart of Billboard in the U.S. for the first time in history.

According to a report by the U.S. music media Billboard on the 23rd (local time), ATEEZ's title track 'Lemon Drop' from the mini album 'GOLDEN HOUR: Part.3,' released on the 13th, entered the main song chart 'Hot 100' at No. 69.

'Hot 100' is based on the combined sales of physical singles and digital audio, streaming figures, radio airplay, and YouTube views, and is considered a major indicator of popularity in the pop market.

By marking this significant achievement as the first team and the third K-pop boy group to enter the 'Hot 100,' ATEEZ added special meaning to their success. They particularly solidified their position as a 'world-class artist' by simultaneously topping Billboard's main charts, 'Billboard 200' and 'Hot 100.'

Previously, ATEEZ made a direct entry to No. 2 on the 'Billboard 200' with their mini album 'GOLDEN HOUR: Part.3.' As a result, ATEEZ has placed a total of seven albums in the 'TOP 7' of that chart, proving their immense global popularity by having six albums reach the 'TOP 3.'

ATEEZ is not only ranked on the U.S. Billboard but is also enjoying dual popularity in both albums and digital streams. They have made a strong presence by appearing on various charts including the official album download chart, official single sales chart, and official single download chart of the U.K. Official Charts, which is considered one of the world's top three music charts.

Additionally, they are achieving impressive results on various domestic and international charts such as the Billboard Japan download album chart, Korean Spotify daily and weekly top song charts, the iTunes top song chart in 51 countries, and the Apple Music top album chart in 82 countries, continuing their vigorous activities with unstoppable momentum.

ATEEZ will kick off their 2025 world tour 'IN YOUR FANTASY' on July 5 and 6 at Inspire Arena in Incheon, Yeongjongdo. They will then perform in Atlanta on July 10, New York on July 13, Baltimore on July 16, Nashville on July 19, Orlando on July 22, Chicago on July 26, Tacoma on July 30, San Jose on August 2, Los Angeles on August 8, Glendale on August 12, Arlington on August 16, and Mexico City on August 23.
