ATEEZ’s GOLDEN HOUR : Part.5 Debuts at No. 1 on Billboard 200

ATEEZ’s mini 14th album, GOLDEN HOUR : Part.5, has debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, giving the group its third leader on the main U.S. albums chart. The result places the release at the center of the latest ATEEZ Billboard 200 milestone, following chart-topping albums in 2023 and 2024.¹

Released on June 26, 2026, at 1 p.m. KST through major music platforms, GOLDEN HOUR : Part.5 arrived as an official ATEEZ release under the group’s KQ Entertainment-linked platform notice.² The album’s Billboard 200 performance was reported with 228,000 album units during the chart tracking period, including 223,000 in album sales.¹

GOLDEN HOUR : Part.5 Leads the Billboard 200

The album’s No. 1 debut was reported for the Billboard 200 dated July 11, 2026, with the U.S. tracking week ending July 3. Complex, citing Billboard, reported the same 228,000-unit total and 223,000 pure album sales figure for the release.³

Aju Business Daily also reported that GOLDEN HOUR : Part.5 reached the top of the latest Billboard 200 with 228,000 total album units. Its breakdown included 223,000 album sales and 5,000 SEA units, with the outlet describing the result as ATEEZ’s highest first-week album performance in the United States.⁴

The Billboard 200 ranks albums by equivalent album units, a total that can include traditional album sales and streaming-equivalent activity. In this case, the available source material shows that album sales accounted for nearly all of the reported total, with SEA making up a smaller portion of the overall U.S. figure.⁴

Third No. 1 Album for ATEEZ

GOLDEN HOUR : Part.5 marks ATEEZ’s third No. 1 album on the Billboard 200. The group previously topped the chart with THE WORLD EP.FIN : WILL in 2023 and GOLDEN HOUR : Part.2 in 2024.¹

The new result extends the group’s run of high-charting albums in the U.S. market. Yonhap News, citing Billboard’s chart preview coverage, also reported Billboard’s description of ATEEZ as the “group with the most ‘Top 10’ records in the 2020s.”¹

The domestic sales picture also points to a large launch week. Aju Business Daily reported that GOLDEN HOUR : Part.5 sold more than 1.88 million copies in South Korea in its first week, becoming ATEEZ’s seventh million-selling album.⁴ Newsis also reported that the album surpassed 1.88 million copies in first-week sales, describing it as a new personal best for the group.⁵

Those Korean first-week figures are separate from the Billboard 200 album-unit total, which reflects U.S. chart methodology. Taken together, the source-backed numbers show a release that performed strongly in both reported domestic first-week sales and the U.S. album chart frame.

Title Track BAD and Related Releases

The album’s title track is BAD. Newsis described BAD as a Brazilian funk-based song and reported that actor Chase Infiniti appeared in its music video.⁵ Complex also noted the BAD music video and a Steve Aoki version remix in its coverage of the album’s Billboard 200 debut.³

ATEEZ’s official platform notice for GOLDEN HOUR : Part.5 also directed listeners to related album content, including the official music video, teasers, and previews.² The official YouTube listing for BAD identifies the track and album through its video description and connects viewers to official music links.⁶

The confirmed figures make GOLDEN HOUR : Part.5 ATEEZ’s third Billboard 200 No. 1 album and its strongest reported U.S. first-week album result to date. With 228,000 album units, 223,000 album sales, and more than 1.88 million reported first-week sales in South Korea, the release adds a new chart chapter to ATEEZ’s GOLDEN HOUR series.
