BTS Claims One Of K-Pop Biggest Pop Radio Hits, Even As ‘Swim’ Holds Steady 09.04.2026

BTS's new single "Swim" from their album Arirang is making significant waves on Billboard charts, particularly on the Pop Airplay chart where it holds steady at No. 16 after a strong debut. This position makes "Swim" the fifth-highest-charting song by a K-pop group in the history of the Pop Airplay list, surpassing previous hits like BTS's "My Universe" with Coldplay. While "Swim" has not yet broken into the top 10 on any of the four airplay charts it appears on, it has achieved No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts, and remains at No. 2 on the Hot 100. The song also saw a slight climb to No. 18 on the Adult Pop Airplay chart but slipped to No. 20 on the Radio Songs and Adult Contemporary charts.
