BTS Dominates Billboard Hot 100 with Six Tracks from 'ARIRANG'
According to the latest Billboard chart released on April 14, the title track 'SWIM' from BTS's fifth studio album 'ARIRANG' has soared to the 5th position on the Hot 100. Other tracks from the album, including 'Body to Body' (52nd), '2.0' (67th), 'Hooligan' (72nd), 'NORMAL' (82nd), and 'FYA' (90th), have also secured spots on the chart. This marks the third consecutive week that six out of the 14 tracks from the album have charted.
For three weeks, BTS has also dominated the 'Billboard 200', 'Artist 100', 'Digital Song Sales', and 'Top Album Sales' charts. BTS is the first group since 2012 to hold the number one spot on the 'Billboard 200' for three consecutive weeks. They reclaimed the top position on the 'Vinyl Albums' chart, climbing two spots from the previous week, and are positioned at 4th on the 'Top Streaming Albums' and 9th on the 'Streaming Songs' charts. This widespread success across both physical and digital formats underscores their strong fanbase and widespread popularity.
