BTS continues to cement their global superstar status with an impressive run on the U.S. Billboard main album chart.
Billboard’s latest chart (dated August 22), released on Tuesday, shows BTS’s fifth studio album Arirang holding strong at No. 21 on the Billboard 200. After debuting at the top spot in April and reigning for three consecutive weeks, the album has maintained its chart presence for an impressive 21 weeks, showcasing its enduring popularity. The album also secured notable positions on other charts, ranking 7th on Top Album Sales, 24th on Vinyl Albums, and 32nd on Top Streaming Albums.
The septet’s success extends to global song charts as well. Their title track “Swim” continues to make waves, securing the 5th spot on the Global (Excl. U.S.) chart for 21 consecutive weeks in the top 10, while also claiming the 12th position on the Global 200 chart.
Other tracks from the album are also gaining traction. “Normal”, which saw its music video and Korean version released last month, debuted at No. 36 on the Global (Excl. U.S.) chart and No. 57 on the Global 200. The album’s popularity is further evidenced by five tracks, including “Body to Body”, “2.0”, and “Hooligan”, simultaneously charting on the Global (Excl. U.S.) list.
Meanwhile, BTS’s North American tour continues to be a resounding success. Fresh off a triumphant performance at Arlington’s AT&T Stadium, the group is set to electrify fans at Toronto’s Rogers Stadium on August 22 and 23.
