ATEEZ's 'BAD' Returns to No. 1 Nearly 3 Months After Release

ATEEZ is continuing the long-running success of "BAD," adding another music show trophy nearly three months after its release.

The group took first place on SBS' "Inkigayo" on Sept. 13 with "BAD," the title track from its 14th EP, "GOLDEN HOUR : Part.5," despite not appearing on the broadcast.

It marks another late music show win for the track. ATEEZ previously topped MBC's "Show! Music Core" without performing on the Aug. 22 episode, about two months after "BAD" was released on June 26.

The song has also steadily climbed Korean streaming charts rather than peaking immediately after release. After initially entering Melon's TOP100 at No. 81, "BAD" had risen to No. 7 as of Sept. 13.

"GOLDEN HOUR : Part.5" also debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 after recording 223,000 units in U.S. first-week sales. In Korea, the EP surpassed 1.88 million copies in first-week sales, setting a new career high for the group.

The latest "Inkigayo" win extends a run that has kept "BAD" on both music charts and music shows well beyond its initial promotional period.
