The titles of some of the next songs to hit the Billboard charts (probably) have been unveiled, with BTS sharing the tracklist for its new album, ARIRANG, on Tuesday (March 3).

The boy band shared the 14-track sequence in a black, white and red graphic on Instagram and Weverse, revealing that the set will begin with a track called “Body to Body” followed by the songs “Hooligan,” “Aliens,” “FYA,” “2.0,” “No. 29” and “SWIM.”


If the amount of songs on the listing wasn’t dizzying enough, the septet comprised of RM, Jin, Suga, j-hope, Jimin, V and Jung Kook will also release a song called “Merry Go Round,” which precedes the tracks “NORMAL,” “Like Animals,” “they don’t know ’bout us,” “One More Night” and “Please.”

Also revealed Tuesday were the producers and songwriters on the album, showing that members of the band had hands in penning all of the tracks. A-list hitmakers such as Diplo, Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker, Mike WiLL Made-It and Ryan Tedder are credited as producers on different songs.

Arirang is set to arrive on March 20, marking the group’s first full-band album in six years. The Bangtan Boys’ last full set, Be, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in 2020 and produced Billboard Hot 100-topping hits “Life Goes On” and “Dynamite.”

ARMY hasn’t yet heard any of the songs on ARIRANG ahead of its release, but the band may have hidden a clue as to which title will serve as the lead single in the tracklist graphic. While all of the other 13 songs are highlighted in red, Track 7 — “SWIM” — is highlighted in black. Plus, the hashtag “BTS_SWIM” is included in the post’s caption on Instagram.

Justin Bieber’s Coachella Set Proved That He’s the Biggest Belieber Of All

During the pop star's Saturday night headlining set, he honoured his YouTube roots, ran through his biggest hits and celebrated his hard-earned journey to get here.

Over the years, Justin Bieber has become a Coachella regular, both as an attendee and surprise performer. At the fest’s 2024 edition, he popped out as a guest with Tems and Wizkid to perform their hit “Essence,” and in 2019 dropped in on Ariana Grande’s headlining set to perform “Sorry” and tease new music, telling the crowd he had to get his “swag back” (major spoiler alert for those who clocked it).

But tonight, the only person Bieber had to show up for was himself. And he did just that.
