The group BTS has placed 10 songs on the main U.S. Billboard singles chart, the Hot 100.

According to the latest Billboard chart (dated April 11), released on April 7 (local time) by the U.S. music magazine Billboard, BTS’s 5th full-length album "ARIRANG" title track "SWIM" ranked No. 2 on the Hot 100. Out of the 14 tracks included on the new album, 10 entered the chart.

On the chart, "SWIM" was followed by "Body to Body" at No. 42, "Hooligan" at No. 64, "NORMAL" at No. 73, "FYA" at No. 74, "2.0" at No. 75, "Aliens" at No. 84, "Like Animals" at No. 90, "they don't know 'bout us" at No. 94, and "Merry Go Round" at No. 96.

BTS also demonstrated their presence on the Global 200 and Global (excluding the U.S.) charts. "SWIM" topped both charts for a second consecutive week, while "Body to Body" ranked No. 2 on each. Notably, 13 vocal tracks—excluding the bell chime of the Sacred Bell of King Seongdeok—secured spots within the top 30 of the Global (excluding U.S.) chart and the top 40 of the Global 200.

BTS continued their dominance on the Artist 100, Digital Song Sales, Top Album Sales, and Billboard 200 charts this week, following their success last week. BTS remains the only Korean artist to achieve No. 1 on the Billboard 200, the main album chart, for two consecutive weeks. The group also maintained top positions, ranking No. 2 on the World Digital Song Sales and Streaming Songs charts, and No. 3 on both the Top Streaming Albums and Vinyl Albums charts.

BTS also achieved notable results in the Japanese market. According to Oricon on April 8, "ARIRANG" ranked No. 1 for the second consecutive week on the Weekly Streaming Ranking chart (dated April 13), with approximately 8.55 million weekly streams. The tally period was from March 30 to April 5. This marks the first time since November 2024, when ROSE and Bruno Mars’s "APT." topped the chart for two consecutive weeks, that an international artist has achieved this feat.

"ARIRANG," BTS’s 5th full-length album, is their first new release in 3 years and 9 months. The album conveys a determination to keep moving forward despite the adversities of life. RM participated extensively in the songwriting, weaving BTS’s story into the lyrics.
