Ateez's "Drip" Debuts at No. 190 on the Nov. 7 Billboard Global 200, the Group's First Opening-Week Entry

Ateez opened at No. 190 on Billboard's Global 200 dated Nov. 7 with its prerelease single "Drip." No earlier song by the group had reached that chart in its opening week. [1]

A song chart, not an album chart

The trap-driven track came out Oct. 23 and was measured on a ranking built from streaming and digital sales in more than 200 countries and territories, the US among them. Ateez already knows the top of Billboard's album ranking, the Billboard 200, having led it with "The World Ep. Fin: Will" in December 2023, "Golden Hour: Part 2" in November 2024 and "Golden Hour: Part 5" in July. Those wins came with full releases. The Global 200 looks at individual songs instead, so "Drip" adds a result of a different kind. [1]

Music show stages and a health absence

Korean TV promotion started a week after release, with stages on KBS2's "Music Bank" on Oct. 30, MBC's "Show! Music Core" on Oct. 31 and SBS's "Inkigayo" on Nov. 1. All are televised music shows that feature performances and name a first-place winner each episode. Hongjoong missed the "Music Core" broadcast, with the group's label, KQ Entertainment, citing health reasons. [1][2][3][4][5][6]

Five songs due, with "Up" in front

"Drip" will reappear on Ateez's 15th EP, "Golden Hour: Part 6," due Nov. 13. The track list, posted at midnight KST on Oct. 26, runs to five songs and places the single alongside the title track, "Up." Work on "Up" drew on producers from earlier Ateez releases such as "Bad." [6][7][1]

A variety taping and a world tour

"Drip" also gets a stage on "Knowing Bros" (also known as "Ask Us Anything"), a JTBC variety show that airs Saturdays at 9 p.m. KST. Ateez's episode is set for November, with a performance made only for the program and stories from the members' time together. Confirmation on Oct. 28 covered all eight members, though KQ said on Oct. 29 that Hongjoong and Wooyoung had missed the recording for health reasons. The "Zero to All" world tour comes after that, starting in Incheon in January before moving on to Japan, Europe, North America and South America. [8][9][1]
