BTS is receiving global praise once again as their latest album Arirang earned a perfect score from a major UK media outlet.
Rolling Stone UK described BTS as a “cultural phenomenon” and gave the album a full 5 out of 5 rating. The publication praised the project for its high level of quality and scale, calling it an album where “each track is carefully designed.”
The perfect score stands out even more when compared to other global artists. Albums by Harry Styles and Gorillaz both received 4 out of 5 ratings from the same outlet, highlighting how rare BTS’s achievement is.
In fact, Rolling Stone UK has only given a perfect score to a few albums in recent years, making Arirang one of the standout releases to reach that level.
The album is also showing strong results on global platforms. Spotify highlighted what it called “The BTS effect,” revealing that the title track “Swim” recorded nearly double the streams compared to their hit song “Dynamite.” On its first day alone, the song reached over 14.6 million streams on the platform.
With both critical acclaim and strong streaming performance, BTS continues to prove their global influence, as Arirang stands out as one of their most successful releases yet.
