SEOUL, November 11 (AJP) - K-pop juggernaut BTS' song "SWIM" has been included in Apple Music's year-end playlist of the best songs of this year.
According to the group's agency BigHit Music on Wednesday, the title track from BTS' fifth full-length album "ARIRANG" was included in the playlist released last Saturday, marking the first time a South Korean act has been featured on the list.
The playlist features 100 songs selected by the American streaming giant.
"SWIM" has also been featured on several of Apple Music's other major playlists including "A-List Pop," "Viral Hits" and "KPOPWRLD."
The inclusion comes as "ARIRANG" remains on major overseas music charts months after its release. The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in early April and held the top spot for three consecutive weeks. It has since stayed on the chart for more than seven months.
Meanwhile, BTS will continue their world tour in Asia, with the next leg set to begin with a concert in Kaohsiung, Taiwan next week. The Southeast Asian leg includes 15 shows across five cities with Bangkok, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, and Singapore among the stops.
