Billboard stated on the 30th that 'Arirang' led the 'Billboard 200' (April 4 issue), entering with 641,000 units. This is the best weekly group album performance since December 2014's unit tracking began. Pure album sales reached 532,000, setting a decade's highest weekly sales record for a group.

BTS also led global music charts. They topped Spotify's weekly charts (March 20-26), dominating 'Weekly Top Albums', 'Weekly Top Songs', and 'Weekly Top Artists'. The title track 'SWIM' was number one on 'Weekly Top Songs Global', with all 14 tracks in the top 30.

'SWIM' stayed atop Spotify's and Apple Music's global charts for nine and seven days, respectively (March 20-28, March 23-29). All album tracks maintained chart presence on both platforms, showing enduring popularity even ten days post-release.

BTS's 'WORLD TOUR 'ARIRANG'' will be at Goyang Sports Complex in Gyeonggi Province on April 9, 11, and 12. They will perform in South American stadiums in October. All 46 shows, including those in Goyang, North America, Europe, and Tokyo, sold out quickly, highlighting their ticket appeal.
