ATEEZ showcased their stature as a representative of K-pop.
Released on the 6th, ATEEZ's 13th mini album "Golden Hour: Part.4" recorded initial week sales (sales during the first week after an album's release) of more than 1.54 million copies.
With this, ATEEZ has produced their sixth million-seller album overall — following mini albums 8 and 9, their second full-length album, and mini albums 10 and 11 — confirming the explosive response from global fans to ATEEZ's comeback.
Upon release, ATEEZ's 13th mini album topped Hanteo Chart's real-time and daily physical album charts, Circle Chart's real-time and daily retail album charts, Bugs' daily album chart, the worldwide iTunes album chart and the European iTunes album chart.
They also swept various weekly album charts, including Hanteo Chart's weekly physical album chart at No. 1, Bugs' weekly album chart at No. 1, Circle Chart's weekly album chart at No. 1, and the weekly retail album chart at No. 2.
The title track "Adrenaline" topped domestic and international music charts, including Bugs' real-time and daily charts, the iTunes top song chart at No. 1 in 21 countries and regions, and Circle Chart's weekly download chart.
Interest in ATEEZ's comeback is intense worldwide. Various global channels showed strong interest in ATEEZ content, leaving comments on platforms such as North America's largest animation OTT Crunchyroll, Major League Baseball (MLB) in the United States, and the French online music streaming service Deezer.
In particular, the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) demonstrated ATEEZ's global influence by posting a message quoting the lyrics "Shoot for the stars like" from the mini album track "NASA."
Among these, ATEEZ won first place with "Adrenaline" on MBC M's Show! Champion broadcast on the 11th. Unable to appear on the program due to a scheduled engagement, ATEEZ delivered a witty remark through a prerecorded video, saying "Thanks to the great love and support of ATINY (the official fandom name), we were able to achieve this precious No. 1. We've just started our engine, so we'll continue to show great performances. Get ready to burn brightly with ATEEZ," using lyrics in their comment.
Having properly ignited K-pop fans' "Adrenaline," ATEEZ will continue their comeback activities by appearing on KBS 2TV MUSIC BANK, which airs this afternoon (the 13th).
