According to the latest chart released by Billboard on the 18th (dated August 22), BTS's fifth full-length album 'Arirang' (ARIRANG) ranked at No. 21 on the 'Billboard 200'. Regarding this, Big Hit Music, their agency, explained on the 19th: "Following their entry at No. 1 on the April 4 chart and three consecutive weeks at the top, they have now remained in the rankings for 21 consecutive weeks, enjoying sustained popularity. In detailed charts, 'Arirang' ranked seventh on 'Top Album Sales', 24th on 'Vinyl Albums', and 32nd on 'Top Streaming Albums'."

It further added: "Their strong performance on the Global Song chart is also noteworthy. The title track 'SWIM' reached No. 5 on the 'Global (excluding U.S.)' chart, which aggregates music streaming and digital sales from over 200 countries and regions worldwide, maintaining a top-10 position for 21 consecutive weeks. This proves the group's powerful music presence distributed evenly across the globe, not limited to any specific region. On the 'Global 200', it secured the 12th spot."

Meanwhile, the chart performance of other tracks from 'Arirang' continues. 'NORMAL' ranked 36th on the 'Global (excluding U.S.)' chart and 57th on the 'Global 200'.
