K-pop sensation BTS has extended their reign at No. 1 on Billboard’s Global Excl. US chart with their hit single “Swim,” setting a new personal record for the seventh consecutive week atop the prestigious ranking. This monumental achievement was confirmed with the release of the latest chart data on Tuesday in the US.
The acclaimed septet continues to dominate, securing the most No. 1 placements on the chart this year, a remarkable feat that saw them surpass global superstar Taylor Swift just last week.
“Swim,” the vibrant main track from BTS’s highly anticipated fifth studio album, “Arirang,” continues to prove its global appeal. Beyond its leading position, the powerful single also charted impressively at No. 55 on the Billboard Hot 100. Furthermore, “Swim” firmly held its ground within the top 10 on the Global 200 chart, mirroring the success of its parent album, “Arirang,” which also secured a commendable No. 10 spot on the coveted Billboard 200 album chart.
Adding to its string of successes, the infectious alternative pop track made history on Tuesday by surpassing 500 million streams on Spotify. This incredible milestone makes “Swim” the first song released this year to achieve such a massive streaming threshold globally, solidifying BTS’s unparalleled influence in the music industry.
Fans in the United States are gearing up for the grand finale of BTS’s US tour leg, which supports the critically acclaimed “Arirang” album. The K-pop superstars are set to conclude their stateside performances with four electrifying shows kicking off this Thursday in Las Vegas.
