BTS’ ‘ARIRANG’ becomes the FIRST and ONLY album in history to spend 9 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Japan Hot Albums chart.
— No Foreign Act or even Japanese Act has EVER reached this milestone before.
“Hooligan” by BTS was named one of the best songs of 2026 by Consequence.
— "BTS are good at a bunch of different genres — that's kind of their whole thing — but spitting knotty flows over filthy hip-hop beats is one of the best versions of BTS."
BTS charts 13 songs on Global Spotify, the most out of any artist currently:
#5. (-1) SWIM — 4.89M
#54. (+15) Body to Body — 1.92M
#59. (+13) 2.0 — 1.87M

Gloss and Runch Randa probably wouldn’t believe you if you told them they’d be taking a picture with Busta Rhymes after winning Artist of the Year at the AMAs
The thing is... it's not even June yet, and Arirang has only been released 67 days ago, we're literally witnessing the shift of BTS being bigger than ever. This is what happens when you're good people, who makes good music.
