BTS’s title track "SWIM" has seized the global streaming spotlight, ruling the charts for three straight days.
On March 23, Spotify reported that "SWIM," the title track from BTS’s 5th studio album "ARIRANG," ranked No. 1 on the "Daily Top Songs Global" chart for three consecutive days (March 20–22).
Additionally, the B-side "Body to Body" held No. 2 for three days, while "Hooligan" (No. 4), "FYA" (No. 5), and "NORMAL" (No. 6) joined the surge—eight more tracks in total are sitting high on the chart.
The album "ARIRANG" is also making waves in Japan. According to Oricon’s Weekly Album Ranking announced on the 24th, it sold 547,000 copies, becoming the best-selling album by an overseas artist in Japan this year—a milestone achieved in just three days after release and further proof of BTS’s massive popularity.
In Korea, BTS’s impact is just as strong. "SWIM" swept the daily charts on major platforms like Melon, Bugs, and Genie, while on VIBE, "Body to Body" took No. 1 on the Top 100, underscoring the group’s dominance.
Meanwhile, BTS will appear as a group on NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on March 26–27.
