The album\u00a0<strong>&#8220;Arirang&#8221;<\/strong> enters at number 1 and gives them the\u00a0 maximum three songs on the chart. It&#8217;s their third number one album &#8211; the others being &#8220;Map of the Soul: Persona&#8221; in 2019 and &#8220;Map of the Soul &#8211; 7&#8221; in 2020.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Number 2 makes &#8220;Swim&#8221; their highest-placing single, though only marginally &#8211; &#8220;Dynamite&#8221;, &#8220;Butter&#8221; and &#8220;My Universe&#8221; all made number 3 in 2020 and 2021. As tends to be the case with Kpop, they benefit from a lot of first week fanbase sales &#8211; more than half of &#8220;Swim&#8221;&#8216;s chart points come from download sales, thanks in part to a range . Mind you, it would have made the top 20 on streaming alone, although that too is boosted somewhat by the presence of nine remixes.<\/p>\n<p>The two album tracks are rather less radio-friendly than the single. &#8220;Body to Body&#8221; is simply the first track on the album, which naturally carries an advantage, but &#8220;FYA&#8221; is track four.<\/p>\n<p><strong>18.

They really are not kidding about &#8220;featuring Hans Zimmer&#8221;.
