Group BTS's fifth studio album 'Arirang' has re-entered the top 10 of the Billboard 200 chart in the United States.
Billboard announced on the 26th local time that 'Arirang' rose from 26th to 9th place.
This increase in ranking is attributed to the release of a special vinyl edition that includes two bonus tracks. According to Billboard, the album's equivalent sales increased by 62% compared to the previous week.
The special vinyl features two additional tracks: 'Voice Message: Love Song' and 'Normal.'
Billboard also noted that BTS's performance of their hit song 'Dynamite' during the halftime show of the 2026 FIFA North and Central America World Cup final on July 19 positively impacted album sales.
'Arirang' is BTS's first album released after a hiatus of three years and nine months due to military service. It debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 upon its release in March and maintained the top position for three consecutive weeks.
In this week's chart, Michael Jackson's sixth studio album 'Thriller,' released in 1982, ranked 8th. The success of the biopic 'Michael' has contributed to a resurgence in popularity for his hit songs.
The number one spot on the album chart is held by American singer-songwriter Gracie Abrams's 'Daughter From Hell.'
