'SWIM' Slips to No. 5 on US Billboard Hot 100 but Holds Global Top 3 for 6th Consecutive Week

In the latest Billboard chart cycle (chart dated approximately May 24, 2026), BTS's 'SWIM' slips to No. 5 on the US Billboard Hot 100 — the primary US singles chart — from its earlier peak of No. 1, reflecting natural normalization of US streaming and radio after sustained dominance. Simultaneously, 'SWIM' maintains a position within the Billboard Global 200 top 3 for a sixth consecutive week, demonstrating continued strong international streaming performance. Korea Herald reports that SWIM's six straight weeks in the global top 3 represents a K-pop record for sustained global singles chart presence. The ARIRANG album continues on the Billboard 200 in its 9th week of top-5 presence — the longest any K-pop album has charted in the Billboard 200 top 5. All 13 vocal tracks from ARIRANG remain active on global charts. The chart movements coincide with BTS's Las Vegas ARIRANG World Tour residency, where Night 2 of four sold-out Allegiant Stadium shows takes place tonight.
