The situation
BTS's album "ARIRANG" has made history by spending 12 non-consecutive weeks in the top 10 of the Billboard 200, a first for any Korean artist. The album remained at No. 10 on the chart, with 33,000 equivalent album units earned during the week ending on June 25. This milestone solidifies BTS's impact on the US music scene.
What the internet did with it
- Netizens on Theqoo were generally unbothered, with some commenting on the group's consistent performance on the charts — "they're just doing their own thing and still getting results."
- The album's 14 consecutive weeks on the chart overall is a testament to BTS's dedicated fanbase and the album's enduring popularity.
- — "I'm not surprised, they've been working hard for years and it's paying off, finally getting the recognition they deserve"
The open question
The question now is how long "ARIRANG" can maintain its position on the Billboard 200, and whether BTS can continue to break records and push the boundaries of K-pop's global reach. The album's next chart position will be closely watched to see if it can extend its streak.
