ATEEZ' new album 'THE WORLD EP. FIN: WILL' breaks another personal record

On December 1, Ateez released their new album, "The World EP.FIN: WILL," featuring the title track "Crazy Form." The album soared to number one on the Billboard 200 chart, displacing the renowned singer, Taylor Swift. This achievement marks the fourth time in 2023 that a group has accomplished such a feat. 

Earlier in December, Ateez made history by securing the second spot on Britain's Official Albums Chart, becoming the first K-pop group to grace that chart.  

The members express their recognition of the feat both through the press as well as through their platform to Atiny (Ateez’s fans). 

"We were surprised to hear the news that we topped the Billboard 200 chart. We're so happy, and it feels like a dream to get such good responses to the album. It's all thanks to ATINY, who always support us and give us strength, that we are receiving daily gifts like this - even though it's only been a few days since our comeback." 

Hongjoong, the group's leader, penned a heartfelt message to Atinys that moved many of them, especially considering the group's journey and debut from a small company: “Hongjoong in 2018 wouldn’t have known. I didn’t expect to be this loved.” 

Atinys promptly shared heartfelt messages celebrating the group's achievements since their debut, expressing immense pride in the hard work Ateez has put in again with every new release. 

In the meantime, the group announced their fourth world tour, titled "Towards the Light: Will to Power," set to commence in January in Seoul. Further details about additional countries to be visited will be revealed soon.
