ATEEZ captures its third No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart as GOLDEN HOUR : Part.5 arrives atop the tally (dated July 11). The group previously hit No. 1 with GOLDEN HOUR : Part.2 in 2024 and THE WORLD EP.FIN : WILL in 2023. Dating to its first in 2022, the group has racked up nine top 10 albums on the Billboard 200 and stands as the group with the most top 10s in the 2020s.
The new set launches with 228,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States in the week ending July 3, largely driven by pure album sales (223,000). Both figures represent career-highs for the act.
The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 2,500 ad-supported or 1,000 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new July 11, 2026-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on July 7. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X and Instagram.

GOLDEN HOUR : Part.5’s album sales were aided by its availability across 30 CD variants and five vinyl variants (all containing collectible items such as photocards, posters and stickers, with some items randomized), including signed editions.
