BTS (RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, Jungkook) reached No. 68 on the UK Official Albums Top 100 with their fifth studio album "Arirang" (ARIRANG), marking their 22nd consecutive week in the rankings. The group continues to set a new personal record for the longest chart run each week, and this stands as the second-longest chart run among albums released this year.

"Arirang" appeared on the UK Official Albums Top 100 for the week of August 21–27. Among all albums released this year, Harry Styles' "Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally." holds the longest chart run at 24 weeks, with "Arirang" following closely behind.

In detailed charts, "Arirang" also ranked No. 32 on the Official Physical Albums chart, No. 30 on the Official Scottish Albums chart, and No. 34 on the Official Album Sales chart. Its position on the Official Streaming Albums chart was No. 95.

On Spotify, the album's ranking rose even five months after its release. During the reporting period of the 14th–20, "Arirang" climbed one spot to secure second place on the Weekly Top Global Albums chart compared to the previous week, maintaining a position within the top three for 22 consecutive weeks.

The title track "SWIM" rebounded to No. 9, staying within the top 10 for five straight months. The album track "NORMAL," which was re-released with new Korean audio and music video on the 17th, settled at No. 61, marking its fifth consecutive week in the rankings.

Meanwhile, BTS will continue their North American tour by holding "BTS WORLD TOUR 'ARIRANG' IN Toronto" at Rogers Stadium on August 22–23 (local time). In honor of the group's visit, part of a road in Toronto, Canada, has been temporarily named "BTS Boulevard."
