【快讯】韩国首个新纪录！BTS 的《Arirang》连续 3 周登顶《Billboard 200》第一
/Photo=BigHit MusicTop idol group BTS (BTS, RM, Jin, Jimin, J-Hope, Suga, V, Jungkook)'s 'Arirang' (ARIRANG) has taken No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart for three consecutive weeks.
According to a chart preview article posted on Billboard's official website on the 13th, BTS's fifth full-length album 'Arirang' ranked No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart dated April 18, 2026.
It is the first time a group album has stayed at the top of this chart for three consecutive weeks since Mumford & Sons' 'Babel', released in 2012. At the time, 'Babel' spent a total of five weeks at No. 1. In addition, BTS is the only Korean artist to hold No. 1 on the Billboard 200 for a third week.
According to Billboard, 'Arirang' recorded 124,000 album units on this week's chart. Of that, 71,000 were pure album sales (physical and digital purchases). SEA units (sales converted from streaming counts) totaled 50,000, and the rest were TEA units (sales converted from digital track download counts).
After breaking a series of records on Billboard in its first week of release, 'Arirang' is still holding the top spot. This shows that it has moved beyond a temporary burst of attention and entered a long-running hit phase. Previously, since Billboard's unit-based tally was introduced in December 2014, 'Arirang' achieved the best performance among group albums and took No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart two weeks ago. Pure album sales in its first week of release (physical and digital purchases) were tallied at 532,000 copies, the highest weekly sales ever for a group album in over a decade.
'Arirang' remains in the upper ranks of charts worldwide in its third week after release. It took No. 1 for three consecutive weeks on Spotify's latest weekly chart (tracking period: April 3 to April 9) in 'Weekly Top Albums', and reclaimed the top spot on the German official music chart 'Top 100 Albums' (dated April 10). It ranked No. 2 on Japan's Oricon 'Weekly Digital Albums Ranking' and 'Weekly Combined Albums Ranking', and No. 3 on the 'Weekly Albums Ranking'. It also came in at No. 2 on France's recording industry association SNEP 'Top Albums' and Australia's ARIA 'Top 50 Albums', proving its global power.
This momentum is continuing into a world tour. BTS held 'BTS WORLD TOUR 'ARIRANG' IN GOYANG' at the main stadium of Goyang Sports Complex on the 9th and the 11th to 12th, meeting 132,000 fans. They will then meet audiences in Tokyo, North America, Europe, South America, Asia, and other regions. This world tour will run 85 shows across a total of 34 cities. This is the most performances in a single tour by a Korean artist, and expectations are rising for the new history BTS will write in the performance industry.
