BTS achieved the highest-grossing record in major U.S. stadiums ever. The group is recognized as a leading force driving the global concert market alongside pop star Beyoncé and country legend George Strait.

On the 9th (local time), Billboard released rankings of concerts held at 30 NFL (National Football League) stadiums across the United States based on scale and box office performance. According to the data, BTS's world tour "BTS WORLD TOUR 'ARIRANG'" topped the charts for both highest revenue and largest audience numbers across multiple major venues since their opening.

In May, BTS held four performances at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, generating $49.5 million (approximately 66 billion won) in ticket sales and drawing 246,000 attendees, setting the highest-grossing record for the stadium since its opening. Their 2022 concert at the same venue ranked second.

Additionally, BTS secured first place at Gillette Stadium (opened in 2002), with $28.7 million (approximately 38.4 billion won). They also achieved the highest-grossing performance record at M&T Bank Stadium (opened in 1998) with $27.6 million (approximately 36.9 billion won) and Raymond James Stadium with $40.7 million (approximately 54.4 billion won). At MetLife Stadium, one of the largest venues in the U.S., BTS generated $31.8 million (approximately 42.5 billion won), ranking third.

The "BTS WORLD TOUR 'ARIRANG'" phenomenon extended to global charts. The tour debuted at number one on Pollstar's recently released "LIVE75" and "Global Concert Pulse." Based on six performances held at M&T Bank Stadium, Gillette Stadium, and MetLife Stadium in the U.S., BTS sold an average of 72,004 tickets per show, topping the "LIVE75" rankings. This figure is approximately 1.6 times higher than the average sales per show for second-place Noah Kahan, third-place Karol G, and fourth-place Chris Brown & Usher. The "LIVE75" ranks global tours based on average ticket sales over a one-month period.

BTS also claimed first place in "Global Concert Pulse," which aggregates average concert revenue. Over the past three months, 18 performances generated an average of $12.7 million (approximately 17 billion won) per show, surpassing second-place Karol G's average of $9.4 million (approximately 12.5 billion won) by $3.3 million (approximately 4.4 billion won). BTS's tour is scheduled through the first half of next year, with additional dates planned for the Middle East and Japan. Further records set by the group are anticipated with growing curiosity.

Meanwhile, BTS will begin their South American tour on October 2 in Bogotá, Colombia. Following this, they plan to hold a total of 14 performances across five cities: Lima (Peru), Santiago (Chile), Buenos Aires (Argentina), and São Paulo (Brazil).
