ATEEZ’s title track “BAD” has reclaimed the top spot on music shows roughly three months after its release. On October 13, the group added another trophy on SBS’s Inkigayo with “BAD,” the lead single from their mini 14th album GOLDEN HOUR: Part.5, despite not appearing on the broadcast.
Earlier, “BAD” had already reached No. 1 on MBC’s Show! Music Core on August 22—again without a live performance. On streaming charts, the song entered Melon’s Top 100 at No. 81 and climbed steadily to No. 7 as of October 13.
GOLDEN HOUR: Part.5 also set new personal records for ATEEZ. It debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 223,000 equivalent album units in its first week in the United States, while domestic first-week sales surpassed 1.88 million copies.
Even after official promotions concluded, “BAD” continues to perform strongly on digital charts and music shows, maintaining its momentum three months after release.
