According to the latest weekly charts from the global audio and music streaming platform Spotify (charting period April 10th – April 16th), BTS successfully held the top spot on both the ‘Weekly Top Album’ and ‘Weekly Top Song’ global charts. This remarkable achievement marks their fourth consecutive week securing simultaneous No. 1 positions across both album and song categories.
All 14 tracks from their new album have impressively charted on the ‘Weekly Top Song Global’ for the fourth week, unequivocally proving the widespread and consistent appeal of the entire release. The album’s powerful title track, ‘SWIM’, also maintained a top position, ranking 2nd on the ‘Daily Top Song Global’ chart (as of April 16th) for an impressive 28 consecutive days.
BTS’s global impact was further highlighted on the UK Official Charts, announced April 18th. Their 5th full-length album, ‘ARIRANG’, landed at 5th place on the ‘Official Albums Top 100’ (charting period April 17th – April 23rd), sustaining a prominent top-tier position for the fourth week. The title track, ‘SWIM’, climbed to 25th on the ‘Official Singles Top 100’, with another album track, ‘Body to Body’ (90th), also making its way into the rankings.
