ARIRANG and BTS sustain major streaming, chart, and international recognition milestones

ARIRANG reportedly reached 33 consecutive weeks on the Billboard 200; “SWIM” continues its international chart and streaming run. Apple Music selected “SWIM” for its global 2026 year-end list and other playlists, a recognition already covered. The “SWIM” plaintiffs voluntarily withdrew their case without prejudice on November 4; no infringement ruling or settlement was disclosed, and refiling remains possible.
