K-pop sensation BTS’s hit single “Swim,” the lead track from their acclaimed fifth studio album “Arirang,” has seen movement on the Billboard Global 200 chart. After previously reaching No. 5, the track shifted down five places, according to Billboard’s chart preview released on Monday (U.S. time).
The chart-topping K-pop track “Swim” had previously demonstrated its global appeal by spending a remarkable four weeks at the No. 1 position on both Billboard’s prominent global charts: the Billboard Global 200 and the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts. It also consistently dominated the Digital Song Sales chart for an extended period.
Elsewhere on the highly competitive Hot 100 chart, Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” maintained its stronghold, holding the No. 1 spot for a second consecutive week and marking its seventh overall time atop the chart. Olivia Dean’s soulful track “Man I Need” secured the No. 2 position, followed by Bruno Mars’ “I Just Might” at No. 3.
From the world of soundtracks, “Golden,” featured in the popular Netflix animated film “KPop Demon Hunters,” held its ground at No. 7 for another week, continuing its impressive chart run.
