\n\t\u201cSwim\u201d leads a historic haul from ARIRANG<\/em>, BTS\u2019 first studio album of new material since 2020, which bounds in at No. 1<\/a> on the United States-based Billboard 200<\/a> albums chart. The group claims the top nine spots on the Global 200, tying Taylor Swift for both the most top 10s in a single week and the most titles from No. 1 on down, after songs from her The Tortured Poets Department<\/em> launched at Nos. 1-9 on the May 4, 2024, chart.<\/p>\n

\n\tBTS does even better on Global Excl. U.S., becoming the first act to monopolize the entire top 10 \u2014 and top 13 \u2014 thanks to ARIRANG<\/em> songs. Swift scored nine of the top 10 when her The Life of a Showgirl<\/em> made its chart start (Oct. 18, 2025), while Bad Bunny was the only act before this week to hold as many as the top three simultaneously, for two weeks this February.<\/p>\n

\n\tHere\u2019s a recap of BTS\u2019 songs at Nos. 1 through 9 on the latest Global 200 and their worldwide streaming and sales totals in the week ending March 26, following ARIRANG<\/em>\u2019s March 20 release, according to Luminate:<\/p>\n
