'SWIM' Ties 'Dynamite' — 8th Consecutive Week at No. 1 on Billboard Global (Excl. US)

June 7, 2026 (chart date June 6): BTS's 'SWIM' completes its 8th consecutive week at No. 1 on the Billboard Global (Excl. US) chart, officially tying 'Dynamite' (2020) for BTS's longest-ever run at the top of that chart. The milestone is significant: 'Dynamite' held the No. 1 spot for 8 consecutive weeks in late 2020 and became the song that cemented BTS's global superstar status. Matching that record with 'SWIM' — the lead single from their 2026 comeback album ARIRANG — signals that the post-military reunion momentum has sustained at an extraordinary level for nearly two months since ARIRANG's March release. On the companion Billboard Global 200, 'SWIM' rises from No. 10 to No. 4, showing renewed momentum likely tied to increased streaming activity ahead of the June 12–13 Busan anniversary concerts. BTS now holds the record for the most No. 1 leaders on the Billboard Global (Excl. US) chart at 8 — double the nearest competitors (Bad Bunny, BLACKPINK, and Taylor Swift each with 4). All 13 ARIRANG vocal tracks remain active on global charts simultaneously, marking the 10th straight week of that feat. The 8-week No. 1 run for 'SWIM' represents an era-defining commercial achievement in BTS's reunion chapter.
