The boy group BTS reclaimed the top spot on the Billboard charts.

According to the latest Billboard charts (dated May 16) released by the U.S. music specialty media outlet on the 12th, the title track "SWIM" from BTS's fifth full album "ARIRANG" reached No. 1 on the "Global (Excluding U.S.)" chart and No. 2 on the "Global 200" chart. Notably, on the "Global (Excluding U.S.)" chart, the track rebounded by one and a half positions from the previous week, demonstrating its strength to reclaim the top spot. The 13 vocal tracks, excluding the sound of the Seongdeok Daewang bell, have entered the charts for seven consecutive weeks.

The group also showed strong performance on the main album chart, "Billboard 200." "ARIRANG" climbed to No. 7 on that chart, firmly holding its place in the "Top 10" for seven weeks. "SWIM" rose two positions from the previous week to No. 30 on the main song chart, "Hot 100," marking its seventh week on the chart.

The detailed chart performances are also impressive. "ARIRANG" maintained No. 4 on the "Top Album Sales" chart for the second consecutive week and reached No. 14 on the "Top Streaming Albums" chart and No. 8 on the "Vinyl Albums" chart. "SWIM" secured a solid position across airplay charts, including "Adult Contemporary" (No. 16), "Pop Airplay" (No. 13), "Adult Pop Airplay" (No. 16), and "Radio Songs" (No. 30), confirming its widespread popularity.

On the "World Albums" chart, no fewer than five albums appeared simultaneously. The album "Proof," released in 2022, remained on the chart for 204 weeks at No. 4, demonstrating its long-term commercial strength. Japan's fourth full album "MAP OF THE SOUL: 7 ~ THE JOURNEY ~" (No. 10), the third full album "LOVE YOURSELF 'Tear'" (No. 19), "Wings: Young Forever" (No. 23), and the fifth mini album "LOVE YOURSELF 'HER'" (No. 25) also entered the chart consecutively.

BTS is currently on the "BTS WORLD TOUR 'ARIRANG' IN NORTH AMERICA," which began on the 25th of last month (local time) in Tampa and will cover 31 concerts across 12 cities. "BTSnomics," which refers to the massive economic impact generated in cities where BTS concerts are held, is drawing attention. The UK's Reuters news agency projected that the total revenue from BTS's world tour will reach approximately $1.8 billion (about 2.7 trillion won). The group will continue its tour at Stanford Stadium in the U.S. on the 16th, 17th, and 19th.
