BTS sets another astonishing UK Record with “SWIM”

BTS presented their fifth full album, “ARIRANG,” after a three-year hiatus due to the enlistment of all members to the South Korean military. So, it’s no surprise that the idols broke tens of records after releasing their new album and single, “SWIM.” This time, the United Kingdom charts are the living proof that BTS’s fever is more alive than ever.

On June 28 KST, the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) officially awarded BTS’s latest title track “SWIM” a silver BRIT certification. The silver certifications are granted after the musical piece sells 200,000 units, while albums are certified silver at 60,000 units sold.

The silver certification to “SWIM” makes it their 13th song to achieve the feat, and earns a special record in the territory.  BTS is now the first Korean artist ever to have 13 different singles certified silver in the United Kingdom. “SWIM” joined the silver group along with“Boy With Luv,” “Dynamite,” “MIC Drop,” “DNA,” “Fake Love,” “Butter,” “My Universe,” “IDOL,” “Blood Sweat & Tears,” “ON,” “Permission to Dance,” and “Make It Right.” Congratulations to BTS on this amazing achievement, one of many to come!
