Global chart-topping group ATEEZ has reached new heights this week as they make their debut at No.1 on the Billboard 200 selling 152K equivalent units with the release of their long-awaited second studio album THE WORLD EP.FIN : WILL (Sony Music Korea/RCA Records). The group has previously scored three top 10 albums on the Billboard 200 – with their most recent EP, THE WORLD EP.2 : OUTLAW, debuting at No. 2 this summer on the chart.
This latest endeavor takes them to a new career peak, not only taking their place at No.1 on the Billboard 200, but also landing at No.2 on the UK Official Albums Charts. THE WORLD EP.FIN : WILL displays the group’s extraordinary musical abilities with credits listing every member of the group.
Billboard states, “‘THE WORLD EP.FIN : WILL’ captures the K-pop group’s ability to never let its audience’s attention flag for even a few seconds: every inch of the album is filled with percussive breakdowns, rap verses springing into melodic hooks and cleanly delivered interplay between the various group members.”
V Magazine says, “The project cements the K-Pop group’s status as an international force, expanding their discography’s sounds and genres. On 12 incredible tracks, all members of the group’s musical talents soar to new heights.”
The music video for “Crazy Form,” the title track off the album, takes on a dancehall genre infused with an Afrobeat rhythm that shines a light on a new style for ATEEZ. Exuding a unique wit and irreplaceable charm representative of the group, it presents the beginning of a new musical chapter for them that draws the perfect synergy between an addictive melody and powerful choreography. While also setting a new record with having the most views in the first 24 hours by a 4th generation boy group finishing the day with 19.2 million views.
With the wrap of their successful ATEEZ WORLD TOUR THE FELLOWSHIP : BREAK THE WALL, selling out shows in multiple continents including North America, Europe, Latin America, and Asia, the group is set to start their new musical chapter with their newly announced 2024 ATEEZ WORLD TOUR, TOWARDS THE LIGHT : WILL TO POWER.
