BTS' ARIRANG stays atop the Billboard 200 chart dated April 18, extending its run to a third straight week.
According to Luminate, ARIRANG, which debuted atop the chart dated April 4, earned 124,000 equivalent album units in the United States in the tracking week ending April 9. That was down 34% from a week earlier.
Of ARIRANG's 124,000 equivalent album units earned in the latest tracking week, album sales comprise 71,000 (down 34%; it's No. 1 on Top Album Sales for a third week), SEA units comprise 50,000 (down 24%, equaling 52.44 million on-demand official streams of the set's songs; it moves 3-4 on Top Streaming Albums) and TEA units comprise 3,000 (down 65%).
Mumford & Sons' Babel was the last album by a group to spend at least three weeks at No. 1 on the chart. The record spent five non-consecutive weeks atop the list in 2021-2013. After spending its first three weeks at No. 1, the album returned to the top for two more weeks in early March 2013.
ARIRANG is the first album to spend its first three weeks at No. 1 since Taylor Swift's The Life of a Showgirl racked up its first seven weeks atop the list (Oct. 18-Nov. 29, 2025), of its 12 total weeks at No. 1.
