Some songs just refuse to stop winning. ATEEZ proved exactly that on the September 20 episode of SBS’s “Inkigayo,” clinching their seventh music show trophy for “BAD” — a milestone that cements the track’s staying power weeks into its promotional run.

ATEEZ Win Breakdown

The competition for first place came down to three strong contenders, but ATEEZ pulled ahead with a commanding total score.

Nominee	Song	Result
ATEEZ	“BAD”	Winner (4,657 points)
&TEAM	“Mark on Me”	Runner-up
RESCENE	“LOVE ATTACK”	Runner-up

Seven wins for a single title is no small feat in the competitive world of Korean music shows, where trophies are contested weekly against a rotating lineup of comeback heavyweights. This latest win reinforces just how strongly “BAD” has resonated with both fans and the broader music show voting audience.

A Stacked Stage Beyond the Win

Sunday’s “Inkigayo” wasn’t just about the top spot — the performance lineup was loaded with variety, spanning veteran acts, rising rookies, and soloists flexing new concepts.

Notable performances included:

LE SSERAFIM – “Made My Night”
&TEAM – “Love Jang” and “Good Boy”
(G)I-DLE’s Soyeon – “I’m gonna TOESA”
EVAN (Heeseung) – “Death of Me”
SHINee’s Minho – “Make It Hot”
Kwon Eun Bi – “DEJAVU”
VERIVERY – “Don’t Panic!”

Alongside these were spirited sets from rookie and indie acts like TUIDE, 82MAJOR, MCND, hrtz.wav, ICHILLIN’ J, and several others — proof that “Inkigayo” continues to spotlight both established stars and up-and-coming talent on the same stage.

Why ATEEZ’s Streak Matters?

Winning multiple trophies for one title isn’t just a numbers game — it signals sustained chart performance, strong fan engagement, and continued digital and physical sales momentum weeks after a comeback drops. For ATEEZ, a seventh win for “BAD” reflects the kind of longevity that turns a comeback into a genuine era-defining hit.

With music show season staying competitive as ever, fans will be watching closely to see whether “BAD” can extend this streak even further in the coming weeks.
