'ARIRANG,' BTS's fifth studio album, has achieved significant success by topping both the US and UK album charts. On the 30th, Billboard confirmed that 'ARIRANG' claimed the number one position on the 'Billboard 200' chart, outperforming Luke Combs' 'The Way I Am' and Morgan Wallen's 'I'm The Problem.' This marks BTS's seventh number one hit on the 'Billboard 200.'
The group made history in 2018 as the first K-pop act to reach the top of this chart with their album "LOVE YOURSELF 轉 Tear," and since then, they have had a notable streak of six albums achieving this distinction: "LOVE YOURSELF 結 ANSWER," "MAP OF THE SOUL: PERSONA," "MAP OF THE SOUL: 7," "BE," and "Proof." Furthermore, 'ARIRANG's title track, 'Swim,' is anticipated to reach the top of the US Billboard Hot 100 singles chart by the morning of the 31st, further solidifying BTS's dominant presence in the music industry.
