SEOUL, Oct. 1 (Yonhap) -- Global K-pop sensation BTS has become the first pop group in the world to surpass US$500 million in cumulative ticket sales with its ongoing "Arirang" world tour, Billboard said.
The South Korean septet's tour was the seventh by any group to reach the milestone, the U.S. music industry publication said, citing its latest Boxscore figures released Wednesday (U.S. time).
"It puts them in unprecedented territory as a pop group, as the other six ensembles are all rock bands," Billboard added.
Much of this milestone was driven by recent shows. In August alone -- about four months after the tour began in South Korea in April -- BTS staged 12 concerts, drawing about 800,000 fans and generating $171.7 million in ticket sales, according to the figures.
This performance put the group at the top of Billboard's monthly Top Tours chart for the fifth time, placing it behind Bad Bunny with 10 No. 1 finishes, and Beyonce, Coldplay and Elton John with seven each.
The group's August revenue was also the second-highest monthly total in Billboard Boxscore history, behind Beyonce's figure from August 2023.
With around 40 concerts still scheduled, Billboard projected that the tour could ultimately generate $1 billion in cumulative revenue.

首尔，10 月 1 日（韩联社）——据 Billboard 报道，全球 K-pop 巨星 BTS 凭借正在进行的“阿里郎”世界巡回演唱会，成为全球首个累计门票销售额超过 5 亿美元的流行音乐组合。
据美国音乐行业出版物周三（美国时间）发布的最新票房统计数据显示，这支韩国七人组合的巡演是第七个达到这一里程碑的组合的巡演。
《公告牌》补充道：“这使他们作为流行乐队进入了前所未有的领域，因为其他六个组合都是摇滚乐队。”
这一里程碑式的成就很大程度上得益于近期的演出。数据显示，仅在8月份——也就是巡演于4月份在韩国开始约四个月后——BTS就举办了12场演唱会，吸引了约80万名粉丝，门票收入高达1.717亿美元。
这次演出使该组合第五次登上公告牌月度最佳巡演榜榜首，位列 Bad Bunny（10 次排名第一）、碧昂丝、酷玩乐队和埃尔顿·约翰（各 7 次）之后。
该组合 8 月份的收入也是 Billboard Boxscore 历史上第二高的月度总收入，仅次于碧昂丝在 2023 年 8 月创下的纪录。
据 Billboard 预测，目前仍有约 40 场演唱会待举行，此次巡演最终可能累计带来 10 亿美元的收入。
