BTS’ 'ARIRANG' has topped the Billboard 200 for three consecutive weeks.

According to Billboard’s chart dated April 18, the group’s fifth studio album 'ARIRANG' remains at No. 1 on the main albums chart.

This marks the first time a Korean act has achieved the feat, and the first time any artist has done so since Mumford & Sons’ 'Babel' in 2012.

The album earned 124,000 total units this week, including 71,000 in pure album sales, 50,000 SEA units (streaming equivalent albums), and the remainder from TEA units (track equivalent albums).

Meanwhile, BTS met 132,000 fans at the 'BTS WORLD TOUR 'ARIRANG' IN GOYANG' concerts held on April 9 and 11–12 at the Goyang Sports Complex Main Stadium. The tour spans 85 shows across 34 cities, making it one of the largest ever by a Korean act.
