BTS’ fifth full-length album, ‘ARIRANG,’ ranked No. 1 on Spotify’s ‘Countdown Charts Global’ for the Feb. 18 chart, extending its run at the top to five straight weeks. The album first reached No. 1 on the Jan. 21 chart and has held the spot since.

The chart tracks pre-save totals for albums and singles, a metric widely used to gauge global listener anticipation ahead of release. ‘ARIRANG’ has surpassed 3.45 million pre-saves on Spotify, drawing attention to how it will perform after it is released.

BTS will release ‘ARIRANG’ at 1 p.m. on March 20. The next day, the group will hold ‘BTS THE COMEBACK LIVE|ARIRANG’ around Gwanghwamun Square, with the performance livestreamed on Netflix.
