BTS' 'Swim,' the lead track from their fifth studio album 'Arirang,' has been named one of Apple Music's 'Best Songs of 2026,' released Saturday (Nov. 7 local time). Yonhap reports BTS is the only K-pop group on the annual list, while Dong-a Ilbo notes the track also appeared on Apple Music's 'A-List: Pop 2026' playlist. The song previously surpassed 1 billion streams on Spotify in about seven months since its March 20 release, the first song released this year to do so, according to Dong-a Ilbo. Korean outlets highlight the achievement as historic, with Chosun Ilbo calling it 'another unrivaled history' for the group in the global music market.
