BTS's latest album, 'ARIRANG', has returned to the top 10 of the Billboard 200 three months after its release.

This achievement is even more impressive when you consider that the album was released three months ago, and it's still managing to stay on the charts.

According to Luminate (formerly Nielsen Music), 'ARIRANG' earned a total of 34,000 equivalent album units during the week ending on June 18. This is a testament to the album's enduring popularity and its ability to continue generating buzz and interest even after its initial release.

This achievement is a reflection of BTS's dedication to pushing the boundaries of K-pop and their commitment to showcasing their music to a global audience.
