SWIM Enters 7th Week on Billboard Hot 100; ARIRANG Sustains 7th Consecutive Week in Billboard 200 Top 5

Billboard's May 9-dated charts confirm that 'SWIM,' BTS's lead single from ARIRANG, enters its seventh consecutive week on the Billboard Hot 100 — an unprecedented run for a K-pop track. The song, which debuted at No. 1 in late March 2026, continues to hold chart position in the lower-top-40, demonstrating sustained mainstream radio and streaming support across the US. On the Billboard Global 200, 'SWIM' continues near the top, extending the record for the longest consecutive K-pop Top-5 run on that chart. ARIRANG itself holds in the Billboard 200 Top 5 for a seventh consecutive week, with the album having spent three consecutive weeks at No. 1 upon its late-March 2026 release. No K-pop album has ever sustained a Billboard 200 Top 5 presence for this many consecutive weeks. These chart milestones coincide exactly with the ARIRANG World Tour's Mexico City leg — evidence of a sustained commercial wave that has persisted from album release through the North American and Latin American tour stops.
