SEOUL, May 04 (AJP) - K-pop band BTS extended its run on the United States music charts as its fifth studio album, Arirang, remained in the top five of Billboard 200 for its sixth consecutive week.
The release continues to draw engagement from physical sales and digital streaming. Most high-profile albums typically see sharp consumption declines after initial debut weeks.
The album moved 56,000 equivalent album units for the week ending May 3, according to Billboard. Data represents a one-spot decline from the previous week, and places a record at number 5.
Billboard 200 measures overall consumption by combining traditional retail sales with units generated from digital track downloads and audio streaming.
Arirang has set several benchmarks for South Korean music since its March release. It became the first K-pop album to spend three consecutive weeks at number 1. Full chart rankings are scheduled for update on the official Billboard website on Tuesday.
