BTS is proving unwavering popularity six months after the release of their fifth full-length album 'Arirang,' continuing a long-running global success.

On the latest chart released by the UK's Official Charts, 'Arirang' ranked 99th on the 'Official Albums Top 100,' successfully charting for 25 consecutive weeks. With this, the group is breaking its own record for the longest chart run every week. The album also placed across detailed charts, ranking 77th on the 'Official Physical Albums,' 90th on the 'Official Scottish Albums,' and 79th on the 'Official Albums Sales' chart.

Its performance on the global music platform Spotify is also impressive. 'Arirang' ranked second for four weeks on the latest 'Weekly Top Albums Global,' steadily maintaining a top position since its release in March. The title track 'SWIM' and the track 'NORMAL' also rose on the 'Weekly Top Songs Global,' ranking 11th and 80th, respectively, up from the previous week.

Notably, 'SWIM' earned the honor of being selected for Billboard's '2026 Global Song of the Summer' in the United States. During the tracking period, the song topped Billboard's 'Global (Excl. US)' a total of eight times and the 'Global 200' four times, establishing itself as the global hit song of this summer.
