ATEEZ is officially in the running for one of America's top music honors. The group has been nominated for the first time at the American Music Awards (AMAs).

🎤 First-Ever AMA Nod

On April 23 (local time), the AMAs revealed their list of nominees, with ATEEZ earning a spot in the 'Favorite K-Pop Artist' category. This marks their debut appearance on the prestigious award show's ballot.

The American Music Awards, alongside the Grammys and Billboard Music Awards, is considered one of the "Big 3" U.S. music award ceremonies, celebrating the most influential and iconic artists of the year.

🏆 Building Global Momentum

ATEEZ's nomination reflects their growing international impact. Just last month, they took home the 'K-Pop Artist of the Year' award at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards.

According to the 2024 Year-End Music Report from analytics firm Luminate, their 10th mini album 'The World EP.Fin: WILL' ranked #4 in U.S. physical CD sales last year, selling 250,000 copies — a testament to their loyal global fanbase.

🌍 Gearing Up for World Tour

ATEEZ is also gearing up for their 2025 world tour, 'IN YOUR FANTASY'. The tour kicks off on July 5–6 at the Inspire Arena in Incheon, South Korea, before heading across the globe.

With an AMA nomination now under their belt, ATEEZ is not just rising — they're rocketing toward the top of the global K-pop game.
