A Tight Three-Way Race for First
This week’s win wasn’t a runaway. ATEEZ went head-to-head against BIGBANG‘s comeback track “BiiiG” and rising group RESCENE’s “LOVE ATTACK” for the top spot. In the end, ATEEZ pulled ahead with a total of 5,800 points, extending “BAD”‘s remarkable winning streak since its release and reaffirming the group’s staying power in an increasingly competitive comeback season.
Six Wins and Counting
For a track to hit six music show trophies in the current climate — where comeback cycles move fast and chart competition is fierce — is no small achievement. It places “BAD” firmly among the standout title tracks of the year, and signals that ATEEZ’s fanbase and streaming momentum have shown no signs of slowing since the song’s debut.
Who Else Took the Stage
“Inkigayo” delivered a genuinely packed lineup alongside the win. Here’s a quick look at some of the standout performances from the episode.
