BTS marked its 20th week on Billboard’s Hot 100 with “Swim,” ranking at No. 91 on the chart dated Aug. 15.
This ties the 20-week streak it logged with “Butter,” the septet’s mega hit from 2021.
On Billboard Global excl. US and Global 200, “Swim” ranked No. 4 and No. 12, respectively.
The single is the main track from BTS' fifth studio album “Arirang,” which edged up a rung from the previous week to No. 14 on Billboard 200. The LP topped the main albums chart upon release and spent three weeks at No. 1, a record for a K-pop artist. “Swim” also made a chart-topping debut on the Hot 100, as its seventh song to do so.
The K-pop superband is set to visit Texas this coming weekend and will head over to Toronto the following week for its ongoing world tour.
