BTS in Numbers

BTS (방탄소년단) topped the U.S. singles chart with "Dynamite", "Savage Love" (a remix featuring BTS), "Life Goes On", "Butter", "Permission to Dance", "My Universe" (with Coldplay) and "Swim", the seventh, in April 2026. Six of the seven debuted at No. 1, the most of any duo or group.

From "Love Yourself: Tear" in 2018, the first K-pop album to top the U.S. albums chart, to "ARIRANG" on the chart dated April 4, 2026.

The largest week for any album by a duo or group since Billboard began counting album units in December 2014, according to Luminate. Vinyl alone accounted for 208,000.

The 14 tracks of the standard album drew 110,005,265 filtered Spotify streams on March 20, 2026, the Guinness World Record for the most streamed K-pop album in 24 hours.

IFPI named BTS its Global Recording Artist of the Year for 2020 and 2021, the first act to win two years running and the first winner to perform mainly in a language other than English.

BTS played 31 shows in 12 North American cities on the "Arirang" world tour and sold out every one, ending at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles in September 2026. The attendance is an estimate from the group's agency, Big Hit Music.

"Dynamite", "My Universe", "Butter", "Boy With Luv", "FAKE LOVE" and "Life Goes On" are in Spotify's Billions Club, as of July 2026.

BTS's leader RM spoke at the 73rd session in 2018, the group sent a video message to the 75th in 2020, and performed for the SDG Moment at the 76th in 2021.
