BTS has successfully entered the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart for four consecutive weeks.
According to a chart preview article published on the official Billboard website on the 21st, BTS's fifth full-length album 'ARIRANG' title track 'SWIM' secured the 10th position on the Billboard Hot 100 chart dated April 25, 2026. Since entering the chart at number one on the April 4 edition, 'SWIM' has maintained its position in the upper ranks for a month despite fierce competition from new songs by prominent pop stars. In 'Digital Song Sales,' it has held the top spot for four consecutive weeks.
The Billboard Hot 100 is a chart that equally reflects U.S. streaming numbers, radio airplay points, and sales data, making it the most intuitive indicator of popular appeal.
The album's performance is equally impressive. According to a chart preview article released by Billboard on the 20th, 'ARIRANG' ranked third on the Billboard 200 chart on the same date, securing a spot in the top 3 for four consecutive weeks. The album far surpassed the performance of the group's sixth mini-album 'MAP OF THE SOUL : PERSONA' (which reached 8th place on the Billboard 200 in its fourth week), setting a new career high.
Meanwhile, 'BTS WORLD TOUR 'ARIRANG'' has sold out all 46 performances across South Korea, Japan, North America, and Europe. The world tour began on the 9th at the Goyang Stadium Main Stadium and has drawn over 240,000 audiences in Goyang and Tokyo. 'BTS WORLD TOUR 'ARIRANG'' is scheduled to take place in 34 cities worldwide with a total of 85 shows.
Capitalizing on the momentum of the world tour, BTS will expand its 'BTS THE CITY ARIRANG' (BTS 더 시티 아리랑, hereinafter 'THE CITY ARIRANG') project, which transforms entire cities into festival grounds, to a global scale. 'THE CITY ARIRANG,' which started in Seoul, will move its stage to Las Vegas, USA, in May and Busan, South Korea, in June.
