BTS becomes 1st group to top 10 bil. Spotify streams in single year

BTS accumulated 10 billion Spotify streams in a single year, setting a record for groups worldwide. The group’s streams more than doubled from 4.5 billion last year, driven by its fifth studio album, ARIRANG, released in March. The album surpassed 5 billion streams and followed the members’ reunion after completing mandatory military service.

ARIRANG surpassed 110 million Spotify streams on its release day on March 20.

ARIRANG became the most-streamed album on Spotify among albums released this year.

ARIRANG was BTS’ first full-group project in nearly four years.

ARIRANG became the first album from a group to top the Billboard 200 for three consecutive weeks since Mumford & Sons’ Babel in 2012.

K-pop superband BTS has become the first group in the world to accumulate 10 billion streams on Spotify in a single year, the group's label said Friday.

While solo acts such as Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande and Bad Bunny have achieved the milestone, it marks the first time for a group to top 10 billion streams on Spotify, according to BigHit Music.

BTS saw Spotify streams for its songs more than double from 4.5 billion last year, driven by its fifth studio album, "ARIRANG," released in March.

The album alone has racked up more than 5 billion streams since its release, becoming the most-streamed album on Spotify among albums released this year.

"ARIRANG" has attracted major attention for being the first full-group project from the global K-pop sensation in nearly four years, released after all its members completed their mandatory military service and reunited. It surpassed 110 million streams on its release day on March 20.

It also became the first album from a group to top the Billboard 200, the main U.S. albums chart, for three consecutive weeks since Mumford & Sons' "Babel" in 2012.

防弹少年团 (BTS) 一年内 Spotify 播放量突破 100 亿次，创下全球组合播放量纪录。该组合的播放量较去年的 45 亿次翻了一番还多，这主要得益于他们今年 3 月发行的第五张正规专辑《ARIRANG》。这张专辑的播放量已超过 50 亿次，也是成员们完成兵役后重聚的标志。

《ARIRANG》在3月20日发行当天，Spotify播放量就突破了1.1亿次。

《ARIRANG》成为今年发行的专辑中在 Spotify 上播放量最高的专辑。

ARIRANG 是 BTS 近四年来的第一个完整团体项目。

自 2012 年 Mumford & Sons 的《Babel》以来，ARIRANG 成为首张连续三周登上 Billboard 200 排行榜榜首的组合专辑。

韩国流行音乐超级组合防弹少年团（BTS）的经纪公司周五表示，该组合已成为世界上第一个在一年内Spotify播放量达到100亿次的组合。

据 BigHit Music 称，虽然像 Taylor Swift、Ariana Grande 和 Bad Bunny 这样的独唱歌手都曾达到过这一里程碑，但这是组合首次在 Spotify 上获得超过 100 亿次的播放量。

受今年 3 月发行的第五张录音室专辑《ARIRANG》的推动，BTS 的歌曲在 Spotify 上的播放量从去年的 45 亿次增长了一倍多。

自发行以来，这张专辑的播放量已超过 50 亿次，成为今年 Spotify 上播放量最高的专辑。

《ARIRANG》是全球K-pop天团近四年来首个全员阵容企划，也是所有成员完成兵役后重聚推出的作品，因此备受瞩目。该曲于3月20日发行当天便突破1.1亿次播放量。

这张专辑也成为自 2012 年 Mumford & Sons 的《Babel》以来，第一张连续三周登上美国主要专辑排行榜 Billboard 200 榜首的乐队专辑。
