BTS Dominates Billboard Hot 100 with 12 New Entries

BTS continues to make history as 12 tracks from their latest album chart on Billboard's Hot 100, with 'Swim' leading at No. 1.

BTS has once again proven their global dominance as 12 out of 13 tracks from their latest album have stormed onto Billboard's Hot 100 chart. According to The Korea Herald, the song 'Swim' has taken the top spot, marking another milestone for the group. This achievement brings BTS's total to 39 songs that have graced the Hot 100 since their debut with 'DNA' in 2017.

While most of the album's tracks have found a place on the chart, the instrumental piece 'No. 29' featuring the sound of a bell registered as a South Korean national treasure, did not make the cut. Despite this, the group's presence is formidable, with seven of the new entries landing in the top 50.

Fans eagerly anticipate the release of the music video for 'Swim,' as teased by the group earlier this week.
