BTS absolutely dominated the Billboard charts again. Even the resurgence of "Swim" is incredible.

BTS is really endlessly breaking records.
I heard that "SWIM," the title track from their 5th studio album "Arirang," has climbed back to number one on the US Billboard Global (excluding the US) chart. It feels even more impressive that the ranking rebounded from last week to reclaim the top spot. With it maintaining number two on the Global 200 and charting on the Hot 100 for seven consecutive weeks, their consistent momentum is truly incredible.

The album sales are also really overwhelming.
I heard that the Arirang album has been in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 for seven consecutive weeks, and that streaming and vinyl sales are all strong as well. Especially seeing multiple older albums simultaneously appear on the World Albums chart, it feels like BTS is continuously loved not just for their new songs, but for their entire discography.

The response to the North American tour has been incredibly enthusiastic lately. Seeing how there is even talk of the economic impact in every city where they perform, it really seems the title of "world-class" isn't given for nothing. I'm looking forward to seeing what new records they set, especially leading up to the Stanford performance.
