BTS’s Arirang Debuts With Record-Breaking First-Week Sales
BTS’s comeback album Arirang, their first full-length in six years, moved 641,000 total copies in its first week (532,000 pure album sales), the biggest first-week figure for a group since Billboard started tracking streaming in 2014, with record single-day streams on Spotify and Apple Music as the members returned from military service and solo projects. Jin is absent from the songwriting credits due to tour obligations, and the album features a slate of collaborators including Ryan Tedder, Flume, Diplo, and others.
