Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Direct from Hollywood with Ryan Seacrest.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
When BTS went on its hiatus so the guys could
serve their mandatory military service in South Korea, there was
concern that the three years away might dim the intensity
of the global fandom.

Speaker 3 (00:13):
But no, that is not the case at all.

Speaker 4 (00:15):
Their single Swim just logged in its eighth week at
number one on Billboard's Global excluding US chart, which looks
at the entire planet minus the States.

Speaker 5 (00:25):
Which actually matches their previous best, which was in twenty
twenty with Dynamite.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
And eight weeks is insanely impressive. In fact, BTS are
the only artist to ever do it, and they've done
it twice. Taylor Bad, Buddy, Black Pink all tied for
the second longest runs, having singles top it for four weeks.

Speaker 4 (00:41):
Twice as long as anybody else on two separate occasions.

Speaker 5 (00:44):
That is so impressive.

Speaker 3 (00:45):
Will BTS break their own record next week?

Speaker 2 (00:47):
We will see Swim is out now, that's direct from Hollywood.
