BTS once again takes over the Billboard charts ahead of their full-group comeback.

According to the latest Billboard chart update (dated January 10) on January 6, “Run BTS”—a track from the anthology album ‘Proof’ released in June 2022—has reached No. 1 on the ‘World Digital Song Sales’ chart.

Following its achievement of hitting No. 1 on the iTunes Top Songs charts in 61 countries, including Brazil, Finland, Mexico, and Greece, the song has now seen success on major U.S. music charts as well.

This result is a product of voluntary streaming by ARMY (the fandom name) worldwide. Fans expressed their anticipation for the group’s upcoming album by revisiting the group's past tracks.

Anpanman,” a track from the third full-length album ‘LOVE YOURSELF 轉 'Tear'’ released in 2018, also previously hit No. 1 on the ‘World Digital Song Sales’ chart (dated December 20, 2025).

Additionally, sparked by RM's daily life live stream, “Nuts”—a track from his second solo album ‘Right Place, Wrong Person’—made a surprise re-entry at No. 2 on the same chart update (December 27, 2025).

The members' solo tracks are also enjoying steady success on Billboard's charts. Jungkook’s solo single "Seven (feat. Latto)" ranked 148th on the ‘Global 200’ and 90th on the ‘Global Excl. U.S.’ charts, respectively. "Don’t Say You Love Me," the title track from Jin’s second solo album ‘Echo’ (126th), and "Who," the title track from Jimin’s second solo album ‘MUSE’ (152nd), both made appearances on the ‘Global Excl. U.S.’ chart. BTS’ ‘Proof’ ranked 9th on ‘World Albums,’ while Jimin’s ‘MUSE’ took 18th place on the same chart.

Following the news of BTS's new album release, an upward trend in rankings was also confirmed on the global audio and music streaming platform Spotify.

On the ‘Weekly Top Songs Global’ chart, with the tracking period from December 26, 2025 to January 1, 2026: “Who” (32nd), “Don’t Say You Love Me” (38th), “Seven (feat. Latto)” (62nd), and V’s, “Winter Ahead (with Park Hyo Shin)” (102nd), were all featured. These songs rose 48, 36, 54, and 80 spots, respectively, compared to the previous week.

During the same period, rankings on the ‘Weekly Top Albums Global’ chart continued to climb as well. ‘Proof’ rose 20 spots to 35th, Jungkook’s first solo album ‘GOLDEN’ jumped 34 spots to 77th, ‘MUSE’ climbed 51 spots to 117th, and ‘Echo’ settled at 52nd, up 24 spots from the week before.

Meanwhile, BTS will release their fifth full-length album on March 20. This marks their first full-group comeback in approximately three years and nine months.
