BTS’s “ARIRANG” Holds No. 1 on Billboard Global Chart for Fourth Consecutive Week

BTS’s latest album, “ARIRANG,” continues to perform strongly on the Billboard Global chart. Its title track, “SWIM,” has maintained the top spot on both the Billboard Global 200 and the Global (Excluding U.S.) charts for four weeks in a row, demonstrating the group’s significant influence in the global music market.

According to the most recent chart data as of April 25, “SWIM” remains at the highest position on both the Global 200 and the Global (Excluding U.S.) charts for the fourth consecutive week. All 13 tracks included in the “ARIRANG” album (excluding the intro “29번”) are listed on the Global 200, with every single one ranking within the top 50 of the Global (Excluding U.S.) chart, underscoring sustained public interest.

The group’s performance on U.S.-based charts is also noteworthy. “ARIRANG” reached No. 3 on the Billboard 200 album chart, while “SWIM” landed at No. 10 on the Hot 100. Additional album tracks such as “Body to Body,” “2.0,” and “Hooligan” entered the Hot 100 chart for the fourth consecutive week, ranking at No. 69, No. 88, and No. 90 respectively. BTS also maintains a strong position across other key Billboard metrics, including No. 1 for four weeks in a row in Digital Song Sales, No. 2 in Album Sales, No. 3 in Vinyl Albums, No. 4 in Streaming Albums, and No. 5 on the Artist 100 chart.

“ARIRANG” is BTS’s first studio album in six years and marks their first release following the completion of mandatory military service by several members. This achievement highlights K-pop’s global impact and BTS’s continued dominance since their return. The album has sold 78,000 units during the most recent tracking period, though this represents a 37% decline from the previous week, indicating a natural adjustment in sales trends.

BTS launched the “ARIRANG” world tour at the Goyang Stadium on April 9, drawing over 240,000 fans to two days of concerts in Tokyo. The North American leg of the tour will take place in Tampa, Florida, on April 25, 26, and 28, followed by 15 more performances across the United States and Mexico. In total, the tour is scheduled to feature 85 shows in 34 cities, setting a record as the largest solo tour by a Korean artist. A concert in Busan is planned for June 12 and 13.
