BTS continues to dominate the U.S. Billboard charts with their fifth studio album, Arirang, showcasing their enduring popularity in the American music scene.
Billboard’s latest chart update, released on Tuesday, reveals that BTS’s Arirang has maintained its strong position, holding steady at No. 29 on the Billboard 200 album chart.
Arirang made a spectacular debut, claiming the top spot on the April 4 chart and reigning for three consecutive weeks. The album has now impressively remained on the chart for 25 weeks straight, with an unprecedented 13-week run in the top 10 – a record-breaking feat for any Korean artist.
The album’s success extends beyond the main chart, climbing seven spots to No. 18 on the Top Album Sales chart and securing the 43rd position on the Top Streaming Albums chart.
In a testament to its lasting appeal, the album’s title track “SWIM” has re-entered the Adult Contemporary chart at No. 30, indicating sustained interest from American listeners.
As BTS prepares to embark on their highly anticipated South American tour, fans can look forward to a series of 14 electrifying performances across five cities. The tour kicks off on October 2 in Bogotá, Colombia, before moving on to Lima, Santiago, Buenos Aires, and São Paulo.
Since their 2013 debut, BTS has solidified their status as a global pop phenomenon with chart-topping hits like “Dynamite,” “Butter,” and “Permission to Dance.” Following a brief hiatus, the group made a triumphant return in March with their fifth studio album Arirang, which has garnered widespread acclaim, particularly for the standout track “SWIM.”
