BTS continues to make history on the Billboard charts! Their latest hit, “Swim,” has just notched an incredible 20th week on the Billboard Hot 100, landing at No. 91 on the chart dated Aug. 15. This monumental achievement ties their own record previously set by the 2021 mega-hit “Butter,” showcasing the septet’s enduring global power.
Beyond the Hot 100, “Swim” also demonstrated its widespread appeal by charting impressively on the Billboard Global charts, securing the No. 4 spot on the Global Excl. US chart and No. 12 on the Global 200.
“Swim” serves as the lead single from BTS’s critically acclaimed fifth studio album, “Arirang.” The album itself is holding strong, moving up a spot to No. 14 on the Billboard 200 this week. “Arirang” made a stunning debut, topping the main albums chart upon its release and holding the No. 1 position for an unprecedented three weeks – a historic record for any K-pop artist. Adding to its impressive accolades, “Swim” itself debuted at No. 1 on the Hot 100, marking it as BTS’s seventh track to achieve this coveted top spot.
For fans eager to see the K-pop superband live, BTS is gearing up for a busy schedule! They are set to visit Texas this coming weekend, followed by a trip to Toronto the following week as their ongoing world tour continues its journey across the globe.
