The group's latest release, "Please," also makes an appearance on the chart at No. 90. BTS's global success is evident as they top the Billboard Hot 100 with "Swim," their seventh chart-topper, and dominate the Billboard Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts.

With ARIRANG debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, BTS secures their seventh chart-topping album. The album also leads the Official U.K. Albums Chart and the ARIA Albums Chart. Following its release, ARIRANG becomes the most-streamed album on Spotify in a single day in 2026 and sets a new record as the most-streamed K-pop album in Spotify history.

YouTube's decision to stop providing streaming data to Billboard's charts does not diminish BTS's global success.

BTS continues to captivate audiences worldwide with their music and performances, setting new records and milestones with each release.
