The album debuted at No. 1 on the April 4 chart after its release on the 20th of last month and held the top spot for three straight weeks.<\/p>\n<p> Billboard reported that Arirang logged 78,000 album-equivalent units on this week&#8217;s chart. That total combines pure album sales with SEA units (streaming-equivalent albums) and TEA units (track-equivalent albums).<\/p>\n<p> Arirang represents BTS&#8217;s best fourth-week showing on the Billboard 200; their previous fourth-week high was No. 8 in 2019 with the EP MAP OF THE SOUL : PERSONA. The album has solidified its place as the group&#8217;s biggest commercial success on the global charts.<\/p>\n<p> The BTS WORLD TOUR &#8216;ARIRANG&#8217; spans 85 shows across 34 cities \u2014 the most dates for any single tour by a Korean artist. The tour has set records and produced memorable moments in each city, building excitement for the remaining performances.<\/p>\n<p> Meanwhile, the album&#8217;s title track, &#8220;SWIM,&#8221; has earned BTS 14 music-show wins in South Korea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BTS&#8217;s &#8216;ARIRANG&#8217;
