[Edaily Starin YUN GI BACK Reporter] The group BTS has set a new personal record for the longest stay on the UK Official Charts with their fifth studio album, “ARIRANG.” The album has enjoyed steady, long-term success since its release, marking a new milestone in the group’s career.

According to the UK Official Charts on the 8th, “ARIRANG” ranked No. 43 on the “Official Albums Top 100” (dated August 7–13), marking its 20th consecutive week on the chart. This surpasses the group’s previous record of 19 consecutive weeks set by their sixth mini-album, “Map of the Soul: Persona,” making it BTS’s longest-running chart run to date.
“Arirang” also maintained a steady presence on the sub-charts. It ranked 19th on the “Official Scottish Albums” chart and 64th on the “Official Albums Streaming” chart, while climbing from the previous week to 16th and 18th, respectively, on the “Official Physical Albums” and “Official Albums Sales” charts. It also re-entered the “Official Vinyl Albums” chart at No. 38.
The track “Normal” also continued its long-running success. It reached No. 11 on the “Official Singles Downloads” chart and No. 13 on the “Official Singles Sales” chart, successfully charting for five consecutive weeks. It has been garnering steady attention since the release of its music video and Korean audio version last month.
BTS is continuing its North American tour. Following their recent performance in Foxborough, Massachusetts, they will hold concerts at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore on the 10th and 11th. BTS is the first Korean artist to hold a solo concert at this venue.
