BTS continue to dominate globally, with their music video for ‘Swim’ surpassing 100 million views in just 26 days.
The milestone, reached on April 15, made “Swim” the first K-pop music video released in 2026 to hit the 100 million mark — and one of the fastest this year.
But the real story now is what happened after.
Even weeks later, “Swim” is still holding strong on the charts. The track has now spent five consecutive weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, most recently ranking at No. 22 after debuting at No. 1.
During its run, the song stayed in the Top 10 for four straight weeks (No. 1 → No. 2 → No. 5 → No. 10), proving it wasn’t just a one-week hit.
Globally, “Swim” has been even more dominant — topping Billboard’s Global 200 and Global Excl. US charts for four consecutive weeks, while also leading Digital Song Sales.
On streaming, the track surged past 100 million Spotify streams in just eight days, reinforcing its massive international reach.
Released on March 20 as the lead single from Arirang, “Swim” quickly became a global phenomenon — and weeks later, it’s still everywhere.
From rapid-fire milestones to sustained chart power, “Swim” is no longer just a viral hit — it’s one of BTS’s biggest and most enduring songs of the year.
