With their highly anticipated full-group comeback just around the corner, BTS is already taking over the charts. According to Billboard’s latest update (dated January 10), the 2022 track “Run BTS” has surged to No. 1 on the World Digital Song Sales chart.
The “ARMY Effect” This resurgence is driven by a massive wave of voluntary streaming by fans (ARMY) preparing for the group’s return. This trend also saw “Anpanman” hit No. 1 on the same chart in late December, while RM’s track “Nuts” recently re-entered at No. 2 following a viral livestream.
Global Streaming Surge The excitement is reflected on Spotify as well. Following the comeback announcement, the group saw significant jumps on the Weekly Top Songs Global chart (Dec 26–Jan 1):
- Jimin’s “Who”: #32 (↑48 spots)
- Jin’s “Don’t Say You Love Me”: #38 (↑36 spots)
- Jungkook’s “Seven”: #62 (↑54 spots)
- V’s “Winter Ahead”: #102 (↑80 spots)
The Return BTS is scheduled to release their 5th full-length album on March 20, 2026, marking their first full-group comeback in nearly four years.
