BTS' "ARIRANG" is now officially the FASTEST album in HISTORY to have ALL of its songs (132 days; 13 tracks) and tracks (200 days; 14 tracks) surpass 200 million streams each on Spotify 👑
— It surpasses Taylor Swift's "The Life of a Showgirl" (260 days; 12 tracks).

Arirang by BTS is the best selling album of 2026 so far, with over 14.4 million units, according to chartmasters.
No other album has surpassed 6 million units this year yet.
BTS are obviously prioritizing their world tour rn and yall talking like Coachella only takes weeks to prepare for when in reality it takes MONTHS
also why the fuck are you minimizing the ARIRANG tour???? as if thats not the most physically demanding thing ANY artist does??
BTS has reportedly declined negotiations to headline Coachella 2027.
— Their record-breaking ARIRANG World Tour had already been confirmed to continue in 2027 with more SOLD OUT dates to be announced worldwide 👑

[NEWS] Golden Boys, the organizer of Coachella, had been continuing negotiations to book #BTS as the headliner for the 2027 festival, but it is reported that the talks recently fizzled out and broke down.
It is reported that Paul Tollett, CEO of Golden Voices, put in considerable effort, including personally visiting BTS's comeback performance at Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul last March, but ultimately failed to reach an agreement.
The cancellation of BTS's appearance is a painful blow for Coachella when looking at recent figures in the global concert market.
From BTS's perspective, there is nothing to be disappointed about. This is because, much like the "The City" project which transforms entire tour cities into complex cultural spaces, they have already far surpassed the impact of large-scale festivals involving multiple lineups and are a massive ecosystem in themselves capable of creating city-scale festivals on their own.

GoldenVoice CEO and Coachella co-founder Paul Tollett reportedly attended BTS’ comeback performance at Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul earlier this year while trying to bring the group to Coachella 2027.
— BTS’ absence is a “painful blow” to Coachella, as the group has “already far surpassed the impact” of large-scale festivals involving multiple lineups in the global concert market.
