BTS's 'Arirang' Holds No. 1 on Billboard 200 for Third Straight Week

BTS's 'Arirang' has held the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 albums chart for a third consecutive week, dated April 18 (tracking week ending April 9), earning 124,000 equivalent album units in the U.S., according to Luminate. The album debuted at No. 1 on the April 4-dated chart with 641,000 units and held the top spot the following week with 187,000 units.

'Arirang' marks the first album by a group to spend its first three weeks at No. 1 since Mumford & Sons' Babel in 2012, which held the top spot for five nonconsecutive weeks total. More recently, Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl was the last album overall to log three straight weeks at No. 1 (its first seven weeks, from the October 18 to November 29, 2025-dated charts, out of 12 total). This milestone comes amid a quiet week on the chart, with no new top 10 debuts—the first such week in three months, since the January 17-dated list.

The album's 124,000 units comprised 71,000 in pure sales (No. 1 on Top Album Sales for a third week), 50,000 in streaming equivalent albums (SEA) from 52.44 million on-demand official streams (No. 4 on Top Streaming Albums), and 3,000 in track equivalent albums (TEA). Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem rose to No. 2 (80,000 units, up 5%), Ye’s BULLY fell to No. 3 (69,000 units, down 54% in week two), Don Toliver’s OCTANE climbed to No. 4, Olivia Dean’s The Art of Loving hit No. 5, and Luke Combs’ The Way I Am held at No. 6. Bad Bunny’s DeBÍ TiRAR máS FOToS, Morgan Wallen’s One Thing at a Time, Harry Styles’ Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally., and Bruno Mars’ The Romantic rounded out Nos. 7-10.
