BTS Set to Dominate Pop Radio with New Single 'Normal' and World Tour Success
BTS is gearing up to promote their second single, "Normal," from their hit album ARIRANG on pop radio. Interscope/Capitol Records will start pushing the track to the format starting the week of July 27. This follows the success of their previous single, "SWIM," which topped the Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard 200 charts upon the album's release in April, marking the group's seventh No. 1 on each list.
"SWIM" made waves on various airplay charts, reaching No. 11 on Pop Airplay, No. 14 on Adult Pop Airplay, No. 16 on Adult Contemporary, and No. 30 on Rhythmic Airplay. It also landed at No. 18 on the Radio Songs chart, becoming BTS' fourth entry on the all-format chart. With two top 10 hits on Pop Airplay, including "Dynamite" and "Butter," BTS continues to make their mark on the airwaves.
The promotion of "SWIM" and the upcoming push for "Normal" coincide with BTS' ARIRANG World Tour, which has been a massive success, grossing over $127.8 million and selling 641,000 tickets across 12 shows in May. The group has solidified their position as the highest-grossing and best-selling touring act, further cementing their global superstar status.
In an exciting development, BTS is scheduled to perform at the FIFA World Cup Final Halftime Show at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on July 19, alongside Justin Bieber, Madonna, and Shakira. The performance will support the Global Citizen Education Fund, which aims to enhance access to education and soccer worldwide. Fans can look forward to an electrifying show from these music icons.
Overall, BTS continues to dominate the music scene with their chart-topping hits, record-breaking tours, and philanthropic efforts. Stay tuned for more updates on their latest projects and achievements.
