[Edaily Starin YUN GI BACK Reporter] BTS’s fifth studio album, “ARIRANG,” has continued to make its presence felt on major global music charts even in its 15th week since release, proving its status as a worldwide long-running hit.

According to the latest charts released by the UK Official Charts (dated July 9), “ARIRANG” ranked 37th on the “Official Albums Top 100,” marking its 15th consecutive week on the chart. The album has maintained steady popularity, remaining on the UK’s main album chart for over three months since its release.
In the sub-charts, the upward trend was even more pronounced. The “Official Scottish Albums” chart saw the album climb eight spots to No. 14 compared to last week, while the “Official Albums Sales” and “Official Physical Albums” charts both rebounded to No. 20. The title track “SWIM” also re-entered the “Official Singles Sales” and “Official Singles Downloads” charts, showing signs of a resurgence.
The long-term success continued on Spotify as well. “Arirang” ranked No. 2 on the latest “Weekly Top Albums Global” chart for the third consecutive week and has remained in the top ranks for 15 consecutive weeks since its release. In particular, it demonstrated its unwavering strength even amid a barrage of new releases from global pop stars such as Drake and Olivia Rodrigo. To date, it has topped the chart nine times, maintaining the record for the most No. 1s this year.
The title track “Swim” ranked No. 6 on the “Weekly Top Song Global” chart, and a total of five songs—including “Body to Body” and “Hooligan”—have appeared on the global charts for 15 consecutive weeks. Additionally, the new song “Come Over,” released last month, also entered the charts, demonstrating BTS’s strong competitiveness in the digital music market.
Their long-term success has also continued in major European markets. “Arirang” ranked No. 9 on Germany’s official “Top 100 Albums” chart, maintaining its spot in the top 10 for 15 consecutive weeks, and also remained in the top 10 on Australia’s ARIA Albums Chart.
These achievements are particularly significant because they demonstrate “sustained consumer demand” rather than just a one-time buzz. In a global music market flooded with new releases, it is an exceptional feat for an album—15 weeks after its release—to simultaneously hold positions in the top ranks of major countries’ main charts and streaming platforms. By maintaining steady performance not only in major music markets such as the UK, Germany, and Australia but also on global streaming charts, BTS has once again proven themselves to be world-class artists.
