The mainstream group ATEEZ has succeeded in releasing four million-selling albums in a row.
According to the agency KQ Entertainment on the 9th, ATEEZ's 10th mini-album "Golden Hour: Part 1" released on the 31st of last month surpassed 1.51 million copies, becoming a million seller.
As a result, ATEEZ has created its fourth million-selling album this time, following three series of "The World".
The album was received with great enthusiasm upon its release. It topped iTunes' top albums charts in 30 countries, as well as the European iTunes and Worldwide iTunes album charts.
In particular, it ranked fourth on the U.K.'s official album chart with its 10th mini album on the 8th. Following "The World Episode 2: Outlaw" and "The World Episode Final: Will," three albums ranked in the top 10 in a row.
