The group BTS has maintained a top-three position on the U.S. Billboard 'Global' chart for six consecutive weeks.

According to the latest Billboard charts (dated May 9), released on the 5th by the U.S. music specialty outlet, the title track 'SWIM' from BTS's fifth full album 'ARIRANG' reached No. 2 on both the 'Global (excluding the U.S.)' and 'Global 200' charts. Notably, on the 'Global 200', the song rebounded by one and a half positions compared to the previous week. Additionally, all 13 vocal tracks on the album, excluding the bell sound of the Seongdeok Daewang Sinjong (Great King Seongdeok Bell), entered both charts for the sixth consecutive week, demonstrating the album's widespread popularity.

The album is also performing steadily on Billboard's main charts. 'ARIRANG' reached No. 5 on the main album chart, 'Billboard 200', maintaining a top-tier position for six weeks. This album previously set a historic record as the first Korean artist work to hold the No. 1 spot on this chart for three consecutive weeks. 'SWIM' also secured a spot on the main song chart, 'Hot 100', at No. 32, marking its sixth consecutive week on the chart.

The group's performance on detailed charts is also notable. 'ARIRANG' ranked No. 4 on 'Top Album Sales' and No. 11 on 'Top Streaming Albums'. The 'Vinyl Albums' chart saw a three-position rise from the previous week, landing at No. 5. 'SWIM' maintained a strong position on 'Digital Song Sales' (No. 16) and 'Adult Contemporary' (No. 19).

Additionally, the song appeared on 'Pop Airplay' (No. 12), 'Adult Pop Airplay' (No. 14), and 'Radio Songs' (No. 24). The album demonstrated broad popularity by achieving strong results across both digital sales and radio metrics. Recently, the 2017 release 'Pied Piper', performed during the 'BTS WORLD TOUR 'ARIRANG'' concert in Tampa, Florida, made a surprise return to the 'World Digital Song Sales' chart at No. 9, highlighting the concert's impact.

Meanwhile, BTS began its 'BTS WORLD TOUR 'ARIRANG' IN NORTH AMERICA' on the 25th (local time), with a total of 31 concerts across 12 cities. On the 2nd–3, the group performed at Sun Bowl Stadium in El Paso, drawing approximately 100,000 attendees. The famous landmark 'Star on the Mountain' was brilliantly illuminated in purple lights. Public transportation, including the 'El Paso Street Car', extended its operating hours to coincide with the concert, transforming the entire city into a festival venue. Following the successful El Paso concert, BTS will continue its tour from the 7th at Estadio GNP Seguros in Mexico City.
