BTS breaks Taylor Swift’s record for most songs simultaneously in the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. Top 10 (10).

They go even further, occupying the entire Top 13.

“I listened to the entire song, and it feels like what BTS want to say is this: they have moved past the stage of simply feeling dazed and bewildered by their position at the center of fame and controversy, and now they seem to be trying to accept it as something inevitable. And along with that, they must also have felt the pressure of having to deliver performances worthy of that position. After COVID and the military period, BTS’s stature, both in Korea and abroad, suddenly became enormous. At the same time, they were repeatedly in the news because of various incidents that had never happened before.
The issue is whether they ever really had a chance to speak about what it felt like to become global stars, the confusion, the bewilderment, the gratitude. After all, singers are supposed to speak through their songs.
If they filled the lyrics only with wandering and confusion, people would probably call that arrogance. But if they simply kept doing exactly what they had always done, they are no longer in that place. They have already become almost alien-like beings.
And for this to be just another comeback, just a return with some new image, there is already far too much resting on their shoulders.
Now they themselves have to break the shell that the world, under the name BTS, has built around them. But when they actually try to break it, it turns out to be an intangible illusion. And if they go on without breaking it, it seems they cannot say anything at all.
So what comes out are Swim, about a life that can do nothing but keep moving forward, and Merry Go Round, about the difficult emotions that arise while living that life.
And then there are the hip-hop elements and the lyrical elements the fans want…or rather, not exactly what the fans want, but everything they themselves have done well. It feels like they wanted to gather all of that together and present the music they prepared as a kind of all-in-one gift set.
Maybe, because even they have no precise way to explain their current position and circumstances, they returned to reflect on the identity of their beginnings.
What I hear in it is not a confession about a linear world, a future, or a universe with a fixed destination ahead, but a confession that in this ongoing voyage of endlessly crossing waves, the only thing they have with them is you, the compass.
What seems clear to them now is only this: you, who were there with them at the beginning. As for what lies ahead, perhaps their path forward will simply become whatever path they continue walking, like the heart of a navigator. On the open sea, a map has no meaning.
The only thing that helps is the compass.”
