[Herald Muse = Minji Kim, Reporter]BTS has now spent four consecutive weeks atop Spotify’s weekly global charts with the album ARIRANG, extending the group's momentum worldwide.
According to Spotify’s latest weekly tally (April 10–16), BTS held the No. 1 positions on both the Weekly Top Albums and Weekly Top Songs global charts — marking a fourth straight week leading both lists.
All 14 tracks from the new record have remained on Spotify’s Weekly Top Songs Global chart for four weeks, underscoring the album’s broad appeal. The lead single, “SWIM,” reached No. 2 on the Daily Top Songs Global chart (April 16), marking its 28th consecutive day among the chart’s top ranks.
On April 18, the U.K. Official Charts placed the group’s fifth studio album ARIRANG at No. 5 on the Official Albums Top 100 (week of April 17–23), keeping it in the upper tier for a fourth week. “SWIM” landed at No. 25 on the Official Singles Top 100, while album track “Body to Body” charted at No. 90.
On related U.K. subcharts, “SWIM” held No. 1 on the Official Singles Downloads chart for four straight weeks, while ranking No. 2 on Official Singles Sales and No. 3 on Official Physical Singles.
The group’s surge continued in Japan. BTS placed five songs on Oricon’s Weekly Streaming Rapid Rise Ranking (April 20; tracking April 6–12). Album tracks “2.0” (No. 1) and “Hooligan” (No. 3) appeared alongside earlier hits “Butter” (No. 6), “Dynamite” (No. 7) and “Permission to Dance” (No. 9).
With roughly half of the top 10 occupied by BTS songs, the new release appears to have reignited interest in the band’s back catalog. They also placed high on Oricon’s Weekly Combined Album Ranking (No. 3) and Weekly Digital Album chart (No. 4). On Oricon’s Weekly Streaming chart, “SWIM” was No. 6 and “2.0” No. 7.

ARIRANG rose to No. 2 on Germany’s Offizielle Deutsche Charts Top 100 Albums (April 17), remaining in the top tier for four weeks. In France, the record debuted at No. 1 on the SNEP Top Albums chart and has since held at No. 2 for three weeks (tracking April 10–16). On Australia’s ARIA charts for April 20, the album ranked No. 3 on the Top 50 Albums and No. 2 on the Top 20 Vinyl Albums.
Hanteo Chart data show the group’s continued dominance at home.
