ATEEZ’s first album to sell over a million copies is “THE WORLD EP.1 : MOVEMENT.” This album was released on July 29, 2022, and it marked a significant milestone for the group as it became their first million-seller. The album initially had over 1.1 million pre-orders, which was a new record for ATEEZ, and it eventually sold over 1 million units after its release. The album’s success was notable because ATEEZ is not from one of the major K-pop agencies, making them the first boy group outside these agencies to achieve this feat.
The album performed well globally, reaching number 3 on the Billboard 200 chart and topping various iTunes charts worldwide. It also included the popular single “Guerrilla,” which received a lot of attention and helped boost the album’s sales. Overall, “THE WORLD EP.1 : MOVEMENT” was a groundbreaking album for ATEEZ, showcasing their growing popularity and influence in the K-pop scene.
In terms of sales, the album sold over 930,000 copies in its first week, which was a significant increase from their previous albums. This achievement highlighted ATEEZ’s ability to attract a large audience and sell a substantial number of albums, even without being part of a major agency.
