There is news that "Swim," the title track from BTS's 5th studio album "Arirang," has topped the US Billboard Global Chart once again. Haha.
They say this is already the sixth top record this year alone, and I can only describe their momentum as truly overwhelming. They are writing new history every time they make a comeback, but this swim record seems to be receiving an especially enthusiastic response.
"Swim" has been receiving tremendous love since its release for its highly addictive melody and sophisticated vibe. It features not only BTS's signature sensibility but also a sound that global fans can enjoy, so I could immediately see why it is performing strongly on the charts.
In particular, since the U.S. Billboard Global Chart is compiled based on worldwide streaming and sales, this number one record feels even more meaningful. Reaching the top spot six times this year alone seems like proof that it is consistently loved by listeners around the world.
Fans are also sending tremendous reactions, saying things like, "As expected, BTS class," and "They broke another record" haha. It is truly amazing to see them demonstrating an unrivaled presence not only in Korea but also in the global music market. Indeed, the name BTS itself is history.
