'ARIRANG' achieves chart and sales milestones
The album pulled in over 110 million streams on day one (a K-pop record for 2026), and all 14 tracks occupied the top 14 spots simultaneously on Spotify's global chart.
Physical sales were huge too (nearly 4 million copies sold on the first day) and ARIRANG held the No. 1 spot on Billboard 200 for two weeks straight.
