BTS extends Billboard 200 stay to 23rd week

BTS has extended its monthslong stay on the Billboard 200 for a 23rd week, with its fifth studio album “Arirang” ranking No. 31 on the chart dated Sept. 5.

It slid down seven notches from the previous week on the main albums chart, where it made its chart-topping debut in April.

The album's main track, “Swim,” is staying strong on Billboard's global singles chart, inching back up a rung from the previous week to No. 4 on Billboard's Global excl. US chart, and ranked at No. 17 on the Billboard Global 200, slipping down three spots from the week before.

Meanwhile, the seven members are performing four shows in Los Angeles, which proclaimed Sept. 1-8 as BTS Week.

The entertainment capital is the last stop on the North American leg of the group's “Arirang” world tour, which will resume in Bogota next month.
