Sustained streaming from ARIRANG through the ARIRANG World Tour is driving continued U.S. chart momentum for the single.

Overview

  • BTS’ lead single “SWIM” has spent 20 consecutive weeks on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, matching the run set by the group’s 2021 hit “Butter.”
  • Billboard placed “SWIM” at No. 91 on the Hot 100 in its latest update, reflecting ongoing U.S. consumption months after the song’s debut at No. 1.
  • “Dynamite” remains BTS’s longest-running Hot 100 entry at 32 weeks and also holds the group’s record on the Digital Song Sales chart with 18 nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1.
  • On Billboard’s global charts, “SWIM” ranked No. 12 on the Global 200 and No. 4 on the Global Excl. U.S. chart, and it has stayed inside the Global Excl. U.S. top 10 for the song’s full run.
