BTS 'ARIRANG' hits top 5 on Spotify Weekly Albums Global for 16 straight weeks

ARIRANG, BTS's fifth studio album, landed at number two on Spotify's Weekly Top Albums Global chart for July 3–9. That marks 16 straight weeks inside the top two. Nine of those weeks came as number one—more than any other release on the chart this year.

Title track 'SWIM' stayed at sixth place on Spotify's Weekly Top Songs Global for the second week running. 'Body to Body', '2.0', and 'Hooligan' have all charted for all 16 weeks. 'Come Over', which dropped June 12, has now been on the chart for a full month.

On the UK Official Charts (July 10–16), ARIRANG jumped 16 spots to 21st on the Albums Top 100. It hit 25th on the Streaming Albums chart, 15th on Vinyl Albums, and 10th on both Sales and Physical Albums. Germany's Offizielle Deutsche Charts Top 100 Albums (July 10) placed it ninth—16 consecutive weeks in the top 10. 'SWIM' rebounded 11 positions to 88th on the German Top 100 Singles. Australia's ARIA Top 50 Albums (July 13) had ARIRANG at 12th, with 15th on the ARIA Top 20 Vinyl Albums.

BTS perform at Allianz Arena in Munich on July 11–12 (local time) as part of the BTS WORLD TOUR ARIRANG European leg. They're the first Korean act to play that venue. On July 19, the group takes the stage at New York New Jersey Stadium for the 2026 FIFA World Cup final halftime show alongside Madonna, Shakira, and Justin Bieber.
