This marks their return to the chart just a month after “Lemon Drop” debuted in June, and it also represents their highest placement to date. The quick reentry confirms that their music continues to capture attention, even as competition on the global charts remains fierce.
The Billboard HOT 100 Reflects ATEEZ’s Expanding Global Popularity
The Billboard HOT 100 ranks the most popular singles in the United States based on digital sales, streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music, radio airplay, and YouTube activity. It is widely regarded as Billboard’s most representative chart, offering a comprehensive picture of a song’s general appeal across all genres. For ATEEZ to appear on this chart twice within a single summer not only reflects the group’s growing influence. It also highlights their increasing connection with international audiences who engage with their music beyond K-pop boundaries.
Album Performance Mirrors the Success of Billboard HOT 100 Rankings
Alongside the HOT 100 accomplishment, the full album Golden Hour: Part.3 – In Your Fantasy Edition reentered the Billboard 200 at number 7. This marked another major achievement for the group. On Spotify’s Weekly Top Albums Global chart, the album reached its personal best. This further proves ATEEZ’s rising presence on streaming platforms. In the UK, the group made it onto the Official Charts for album downloads, single downloads, and sales charts. This demonstrates widespread recognition in key Western markets. These strong results show that their music resonates far beyond Korea.
Billboard Recognizes “Lemon Drop” as a Standout K-pop Track
Billboard praised “Lemon Drop” as a track that blends hip-hop with subtle R&B influences, while capturing ATEEZ’s signature energy and relentless passion. The review emphasized the emotional intensity and musical confidence present in the track. The song was also selected as one of Billboard’s 25 Best K-pop Songs of 2025 So Far, placing ATEEZ among the top acts shaping the genre this year. This kind of recognition adds weight to their artistic credibility, showing they are not only charting but also making a meaningful impact.
“In Your Fantasy” Tour Amplifies ATEEZ’s Worldwide Presence
ATEEZ is currently on their global tour titled In Your Fantasy, which began in Atlanta in July. The tour includes 12 North American cities and continues through major Japanese cities such as Saitama, Nagoya, and Kobe. These live performances offer a dynamic way for ATEEZ to connect with fans worldwide, deepening their bond with audiences and further boosting their global visibility. The tour’s scale and excitement suggest that their international reach is still expanding, fueled by both music releases and in-person experiences.
Fans Applaud ATEEZ’s Growth Beyond the Billboard HOT 100
Korean online communities like theqoo are filled with congratulatory comments as fans celebrate ATEEZ’s two Billboard HOT 100 entries this year. Many express pride in the fact that ATEEZ is managed by KQ Entertainment, a mid-sized company, not a major label. They find it remarkable that the group has achieved such rare and far-reaching global recognition through continued effort and passion. Reaching the HOT 100 is a challenge even for the biggest agencies. So fans are especially moved by ATEEZ’s steady, step-by-step progress. Their growth story resonates deeply, as it reflects years of hard work and an unshakable belief in their music.
