ATEEZ is now the first non-"Big 4" boy group to become a "million seller"! The KQ Entertainment team attained their first million-selling album just less than two months after its release.
Read on and know more about ATEEZ's new and historic achievement!
ATEEZ Reaches 'Million-Seller' Status
According to a report on September 8, ATEEZ's album "THE WORLD EP. 1: MOVEMENT," released on July 29, has sold 1 million copies based on the Circle Chart (formerly Gaon Chart)!
It was reported that ATEEZ achieved this after 3 years and 4 months since their debut. The boy group also achieved multiple milestones because of this release.
"THE WORLD EP. 1: MOVEMENT" entered the 3rd place on the US Billboard's main album chart Billboard 200, and entered a total of 6 Billboard charts at the same time.
In addition, it also ranked No. 1 in Japan Tower Records Weekly Comprehensive Album. Plus, it has placed all of the album songs on Bugs' real-time chart.
Moreover, through the title song "Guerrilla," ATEEZ set a record of 6 trophies on music shows, their highest record of wins for a song.
ATINYs Rejoice At ATEEZ's Achievement
As K-pop album sales increase in Korea and abroad, "million sellers" are often born, but the number is still small.
Among the boy groups, BTS, EXO, SEVENTEEN, NCT (NCT 127, NCT Dream), Tomorrow by Together (TXT), Stray Kids, and ENHYPEN are the only boy groups that reached the "million seller" status. However, ATEEZ is the first non-"Big 4" boy group to have achieved the record.

ATEEZ sold 1 million album copies, which is unusual for a group from a small and medium-sized agency. This is why their fans, ATINYs, are really proud of this moment.
In an Instiz post, plenty of ATINYs are rejoicing at their historic milestone and continue to congratulate ATEEZ for this huge achievement.
"I love you babies"
"Congrats congrats~!!"
"Congrats our TEEZ"
"Congrats to our ATEEZㅠ I'm crying ㅠㅠㅠㅠ They only sold 5,200 albums in their first week of sales for their first album.. they grew up so well..."
"This is so emotionalㅠㅠ"
"Wow crazy, congratulations~!~!~!~!~!"
"Growth-TEEZ.. That's why I like ATEEZ"
"Congrats"
As evident in the comments of the post, ATINYs are emotional because ATEEZ has come so far since their debut in 2018.
From only selling not more than 6,000 albums in their debut days to selling a million copies is indeed an amazing feat by a boy group from a medium-sized company.
ATEEZ World Tour 2022
Meanwhile, the "million seller" group is about to commence a tour anew. ATEEZ will soon begin their 2022 second half world tour "THE FELLOWSHIP: BREAK THE WALL."
The boy group will kick off their world tour in Korea from October 29 to 30 at Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium. After that, they will see their fans in Anaheim, Phoenix, Dallas/Fort Worth, Chicago, Atlanta, Newark, Canada, and Japan.
ATEEZ debuted on October 24, 2018, with the aspiration of "I will contain everything for teenagers," and is now a 4th generation K-pop representative.
