ATEEZ and BTS Shine on the UK Official Charts, Continuing K-Pop’s Global Dominance

K-pop continues to make waves on the global stage as ATEEZ and BTS achieve remarkable feats on the UK Official Charts. ATEEZ, the powerhouse group known for their energetic performances and global appeal, has once again proven their popularity by entering the UK Official Album Chart’s top five for the third time. Their latest mini-album, “Golden Hour: Part.2,” released on November 15, secured the number four spot on the chart for the week of November 22-28. This impressive achievement follows their previous successes with their second full album, “The World EP Fin: Will,” reaching number two last December, and “Golden Hour: Part.1,” debuting at number four in May this year. Last year’s mini-album, “The World EP.2: Outlaw,” also secured a top 10 position, peaking at number 10 in June.

The UK Official Chart is known for its conservative nature compared to the US Billboard, where multiple K-pop acts frequently break into the top 10. ATEEZ now joins the ranks of only a few K-pop groups like BTS and BLACKPINK to consistently make their mark on this prestigious chart.

In the realm of singles, BTS’s eldest member Jin, also known as Kim Seokjin, made a strong solo debut with his album “Happy.” The title track “Running Wild” entered the UK Official Singles Chart at number 25, marking his third entry as a solo artist. Previously, the album’s pre-release track “I’ll Be There” debuted at number 44, and his first solo single “The Astronaut” reached number 61 in November 2022. With “Running Wild,” Jin achieves his highest solo chart position to date.

Meanwhile, BLACKPINK’s Rosé, who has captivated audiences with her unique voice, continues her streak on the Official Singles Chart. Her collaboration with American pop star Bruno Mars, “Apartment (APT.),” maintained its position at number three, making it four consecutive weeks in the top three and five weeks in the top five.

These achievements underscore the global influence and growing popularity of K-pop on the international music scene. As fans eagerly await future releases, ATEEZ, BTS, and Rosé’s continued success on these charts highlights their enduring appeal and sets the stage for more exciting developments in the world of K-pop.
