BTS have once again made history as they simultaneously occupy the entire Top 5 of the MelOn 5 Minute Chart following the explosive release of their album ARIRANG. In a display of unmatched digital power, every track in the Top 5 belongs to BTS, an achievement that underscores both their dominance in the Korean music scene and the overwhelming response to their long-awaited comeback.
Leading the chart is “Body to Body,” which surges to #1 (+1), claiming a brand new peak shortly after release. Close behind is the title track “SWIM,” holding strong at #2 (-1) after previously topping the chart. Meanwhile, “Hooligan” remains steady at #3 (=), and “Aliens” follows at #4 (=), both maintaining their positions amid fierce real-time competition. Rounding out the Top 5 is “FYA,” debuting impressively at #5 (NEW), further proving the album’s depth and widespread appeal across listeners.

The MelOn 5 Minute Chart reflects real-time streaming trends, making this achievement particularly significant as it captures immediate listener behavior within minutes of release. For BTS to dominate all five positions simultaneously highlights not only the scale of their fanbase but also the public’s strong reception to multiple tracks, not just the title song. With ARIRANG already breaking sales records and “SWIM” debuting at #1 on major charts, this latest milestone reinforces BTS’s status as a cultural and musical powerhouse, continuing to set new standards in the global music industry.
