BTS SWIM Billboard momentum is still going strong, and the latest chart picture gives fans plenty to take in. In its fourth chart week, BTS’s “SWIM” remained No. 1 on both Billboard’s Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts for a fourth consecutive week. The song also held No. 1 on Digital Song Sales for the fourth week, reached No. 13 on Pop Airplay, and ranked No. 10 on the Hot 100. For a single already tied to a major comeback moment, this steady performance shows how broad and durable its reach has become.
BTS SWIM Billboard Global No. 1 Streak
The clearest headline is simple: “SWIM” is still ruling Billboard’s two major global song charts. The track led the Global 200 for a fourth week with 73 million streams and 22,000 downloads worldwide during the April 10-16 tracking period, according to Luminate data cited in the chart reporting. On the Global Excl. U.S. chart, it also stayed at No. 1 with 63.4 million streams and 10,000 downloads outside the United States.
Those numbers matter because the two global charts look at worldwide activity, while the Global Excl. U.S. chart removes American data from the picture. Seeing “SWIM” at the top of both charts for four straight weeks means the song is not depending on one market alone. It is performing strongly across the world, while also maintaining enough U.S. activity to stay visible on other major Billboard rankings.
The fourth-week hold also builds on a powerful debut. “SWIM” opened at No. 1 on the April 4-dated Hot 100, becoming BTS’s seventh career Hot 100 leader. It also debuted at No. 1 on the Global 200 with 108.8 million worldwide streams and 221,000 sales. From that first-week surge to the current fourth-week global streak, the song has moved from comeback event to sustained chart force.
Hot 100, Pop Airplay, and Digital Song Sales
Beyond the global charts, “SWIM” is showing up across several different measurements of popularity. In its fourth chart week, it ranked No. 10 on the Hot 100. That keeps the song inside the chart’s top tier after debuting at No. 1 earlier in April.
The single also remained No. 1 on Digital Song Sales for a fourth week. That detail is especially important because it points to continued download activity, not just streaming attention. While streaming numbers are a major part of today’s music charts, four weeks on top of Digital Song Sales suggests that listeners are still actively buying the track.
Another notable development is the song’s rise on Billboard’s Pop Airplay chart, where it reached a new peak of No. 13. Pop radio can move differently from streaming and sales charts, often building more gradually as songs gain rotation. For “SWIM” to climb to No. 13 there while already holding major global and sales positions gives the track another layer of chart presence.
For fans watching the different Billboard rankings week by week, this is the kind of multi-chart spread that makes a release feel especially active. “SWIM” is not appearing in just one lane. It is present in global streaming and sales, U.S.-focused all-format performance, digital sales, and pop radio airplay.
ARIRANG Keeps the Comeback Era Moving
The success of “SWIM” is closely tied to BTS’s fifth album, “ARIRANG.” The album includes 14 tracks, with “SWIM” as the title song. “ARIRANG” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and spent three consecutive weeks at the top before ranking No. 3 in its fourth week.
That No. 3 placement is still a strong fourth-week result, especially after a three-week run at No. 1. It also gives important context to the single’s ongoing performance. “SWIM” is not standing alone as an isolated hit; it is part of an album cycle that has also been highly visible on the Billboard 200.
The timing adds even more weight to the moment. BTS opened a long-awaited world tour in South Korea after nearly a four-year hiatus tied to the members’ military service. With “ARIRANG” debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and “SWIM” reaching the top of major charts, the group’s return has combined live-performance momentum with major chart impact.
For anyone following BTS casually, the main takeaway is easy: this comeback is not fading quickly. The album made a No. 1 entrance, the title song debuted at No. 1 on the Hot 100, and now “SWIM” has extended its rule on the global charts for four straight weeks. Each piece supports the same broader picture of a release cycle with both immediate impact and staying power.
In the end, the fourth week at No. 1 on both the Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts is the strongest current marker of “SWIM” and its worldwide reach. With continued Digital Song Sales strength, a Top 10 Hot 100 position, a new Pop Airplay peak, and “ARIRANG” still high on the Billboard 200, BTS’s latest era remains one of the biggest chart stories of the moment.
