All 14 new tracks from the release — including the title song “SWIM” (No. 3) — remained on the Weekly Top Songs Global chart for a fifth consecutive week, underscoring the album’s wide appeal. On the Daily Top Songs Global chart for April 23, “SWIM” ranked No. 2, marking 35 days among the chart’s upper ranks.

ARIRANG landed at No. 13 on the UK Official Charts’ Official Albums Top 100 for the week of April 24–30, the Official Charts Company reported April 25, marking its fifth week in the upper ranks. The title track “SWIM” appeared at No. 34 on the Official Singles Top 100. On the Official Singles Downloads chart it held No. 5 for a fifth straight week, and the release placed strongly across other subcharts: Official Album Streaming (No. 16), Official Album Sales (No. 19), Official Physical Albums (No. 20), Official Singles Sales (No. 24) and Official Album Downloads (No. 47).

BTS topped Japan’s Oricon monthly album chart for March. On Oricon’s Weekly Combined Albums ranking (dated April 27; tracking period April 13–19) ARIRANG held No. 3, keeping a top-three position for five weeks. The group also remained at No. 3 on the Weekly Digital Albums chart.

In Australia, ARIRANG climbed one spot from the previous week to No. 2 on ARIA’s Top 50 Albums chart (April 27).

Their domestic momentum in South Korea remains strong.

Meanwhile, BTS are meeting fans worldwide on their 34-city BTS WORLD TOUR ‘ARIRANG’. They’ve already drawn more than 240,000 attendees in Goyang and Tokyo alone and have sold out all 46 shows so far, demonstrating formidable ticket demand. The tour continues at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, on April 25–26 and April 28.
