BTS's fifth studio album 'Arirang' is achieving steady results on major UK music charts even six months after its release. It recently recorded 99th place on the UK 'Official Albums Top 100' chart, achieving the record of entering the chart for 25 consecutive weeks.

Along with this, it proved its local popularity by appearing at 77th on the 'Official Physical Albums', 90th on the 'Official Scottish Albums', and 79th on the 'Official Album Sales'. On Spotify's 'Weekly Top Albums Global', it has maintained a top position since its release, holding 2nd place for four consecutive weeks.

The performance of the songs included in the album is also remarkable. The title track 'SWIM' took 2nd place in 'Global (excl.
