Week 2 got even bigger for BTS.
In their second week of the Arirang era, the group has turned an explosive debut into sustained global domination, adding new records and historic comparisons that push them even deeper into music history.
Arirang has officially gone undefeated in its second week, holding firm across multiple major charts instead of dropping—a rare feat even for top-tier global acts.
This kind of stability signals more than hype; it confirms long-term staying power in both sales and streaming.
BTS also secured the top spot on Spotify’s global weekly charts for a second consecutive week with Arirang.
Maintaining No.1 across consecutive tracking periods highlights consistent, massive listener demand worldwide—something few artists manage after a debut surge.
With another No.1 hit added to their record, BTS have now surpassed both Eminem and Beyoncé in total chart-topping songs on key global rankings.
It’s a milestone that places them ahead of some of the most dominant names in modern music—and underscores just how rapidly their legacy is expanding.
At the same time, BTS have now matched a major chart achievement set by Taylor Swift, aligning themselves with one of the most successful chart performers of all time.
The comparison isn’t just symbolic—it cements BTS within a very small circle of artists capable of delivering repeated, high-impact chart runs at this level.
What makes this second week remarkable isn’t just the records—it’s the consistency.
Where most releases begin to fade, BTS are holding, matching, and even surpassing milestones set by industry giants.
Two weeks into the Arirang era, one thing is clear: This isn’t just a comeback. It’s a takeover that refuses to peak.
