BTS 'SWIM' achieves 17 consecutive weeks on Billboard Hot 100

BTS continues to drive global success, appearing on the US Billboard Hot 100 for 17 consecutive weeks. Their fifth studio album, 'ARIRANG', is also demonstrating a steady presence on the main album chart, entering a period of long-term commercial success.

According to the latest charts (as of July 25) released by Billboard on the 22nd (Korean time), BTS's fifth studio album 'ARIRANG' ranked 26th on the Billboard 200. The title track 'SWIM' entered the Hot 100 at number 100, marking its 17th consecutive week on the chart.

Notably, 'SWIM' has joined the ranks of the group's signature long-running hits, matching the record of 'My Universe'—the global hit collaborated with British rock band Coldplay—by achieving 17 consecutive weeks on the Hot 100. The track is seen as proof of the group's unyielding power, fueled by steady streaming and massive support from their global fandom.

Their presence on global charts remains formidable. 'SWIM' maintained second place for seven consecutive weeks on the Global (excl. US) chart and has stayed in the Top 5 for 17 consecutive weeks on that chart. This highlights their ability to maintain high rankings and consistent popularity across various countries.

The tracks from the fifth studio album 'ARIRANG' are also seeing significant success. A total of eight tracks, including 'Body to Body', '2.0', 'Hooligan', 'FYA', 'NORMAL', 'Like Animals', 'they don't know 'bout us', and 'SWIM', simultaneously entered the Global (excl. US) chart, proving the album's overall competitiveness. 'NORMAL', which garnered attention following the recent release of live content, rose eight spots from the previous week.

The new song 'Come Over' also continues its steady upward trend, entering both the Global 200 and Global (excl. US) charts for five consecutive weeks with stable streaming performance.

BTS's strength extended to several sub-charts as well. 'SWIM' reached 19th place on the Adult Contemporary chart, while 'ARIRANG' ranked 12th on Top Album Sales, 38th on Top Streaming Albums, and 19th on Vinyl Albums, showing balanced success across sales, streaming, and the physical market.

Alongside their Billboard success, BTS's global momentum continues. On the 19th (local time), the group performed their hit 'Dynamite' during the halftime show of the 2026 FIFA World Cup North America final in New Jersey, capturing the attention of football and music fans worldwide.

Even months after the album's release, BTS continues to deliver consistent results on both domestic and global charts, once again proving their massive fandom and broad public appeal as they maintain an unrivaled presence in the 2026 global music market.
