BTS 'Arirang' drops to No. 4 in second week on UK albums chart

BTS's 'Arirang' fell three places to No. 4 on the Official Albums Chart after debuting at No. 1 last week. Lead single 'Swim' slipped to No. 5 on the Official Singles Chart from No. 2.

The British Official Albums Chart released Friday showed 'Arirang' at No. 4, behind Raye's 'This Music May Contain Hope', Olivia Dean's 'The Art of Loving', and Ye's 'Bully'. This follows BTS's third UK No. 1 album, after 'Map of the Soul: Persona' (2019) and 'Map of the Soul: 7' (2020).

'Swim' marked BTS's highest UK singles peak at No. 2 last week before this drop. The album and single also debuted at No. 1 on the US Billboard 200 and Hot 100, respectively.
