BTS projected to become the first K-Pop artist to spend 2 consecutive weeks atop 'Billboard 200' with 'ARIRANG'

It's projected that 'ARIRANG' by BTS will top 'Billboard 200' for the second consecutive week, according to U.S. sources.

Earlier this week, 'ARIRANG' landed at #1 on 'Billboard 200' for the week of April 4 after reporting 641,000 units sold, becoming BTS's seventh album to achieve the milestone. Additionally, the album's title track "Swim" debuted at #1 on 'Billboard Hot 100', also the group's seventh career song to hit the top.

Alongside Billboard's two main charts in the U.S, the K-Pop giant swept #1 spots all across Billboard including 'Billboard Global', 'Global Exclusive. U.S.', 'Digital Song Sales', 'World Digital Song Sales', and more.

If BTS manage to defend their #1 spot on 'Billboard 200' for the second consecutive week next week, they will officially become the first K-Pop artist to do so.
