BTS on the Billboard charts
BTS’ fifth studio album Arirang held steady at No. 10 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, unchanged from the previous week. Released in March, the album made K-pop history as the first to spend three consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the chart and has since remained in the top tier. The album’s lead track, “Swim,” ranked No. 63 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.
