BTS’ “SWIM” has climbed back up the US Billboard main singles chart, the “Hot 100,” for the second consecutive week.
According to the latest charts released by the American music media outlet Billboard on Tuesday, “SWIM,” the title track from BTS’ fifth studio album ARIRANG, landed at No. 41—up three spots from the previous week.
After ranking at No. 55 on the May 30 chart, the song rebounded 11 spots to hit No. 44 on the June 6 chart, before climbing another three spots this week. Even in its 11th week since release, the track is showing impressive longevity driven by its massive public popularity.
Its performance on Billboard‘s global song charts is equally dominant. This week, “SWIM” maintained its position at the very top of the charts for the 11th consecutive week, coming in at No. 5 on the “Global 200” and No. 2 on the “Global Excl. US.” Notably, on the “Global Excl. US” chart, all 13 vocal tracks from the new album have remained on the chart for 11 straight weeks.
Last week, “SWIM” claimed the No. 1 spot on the “Global Excl. US” chart for the eighth time overall, setting a new record for the most weeks at No. 1 among all songs released in 2026. Additionally, “MIC Drop,” originally released in 2017, re-entered the “World Digital Song Sales” chart for a second consecutive week, making history with a total of 165 weeks on the chart.
Meanwhile, BTS is scheduled to hold their concert, “BTS WORLD TOUR ‘ARIRANG’ IN BUSAN,” at the Busan Asiad Main Stadium on Friday and Saturday.
