\n\tARIRANG, the new album from BTS<\/a>, tops this week\u2019s fan-voted music poll.<\/p>\n

\n\tFans voted in a poll published Friday (March 20)\u00a0on\u00a0Billboard<\/a>, choosing the seven-piece\u2019s return LP as their favorite new release of the week.<\/p>\n

\n\tARIRANG is the poll leader in a week that also saw new music releases from Niall Horan, Lizzo, Paris Paloma and more. As the poll came to a close on Sunday, the K-pop superstars finished with an overwhelming 94% of the vote.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe album, a collection of 14 tracks via BigHit, was long-awaited by ARMY while the group formation of J-Hope, Jimin, Jin, Jung Kook, RM, Suga and V took a hiatus; the members were fulfilling mandatory military service in South Korea. BTS last released music in 2022 \u2014 the compilation project Proof, which launched at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart \u2014 but hadn\u2019t actually released a full-length album of new songs in six years, since the 2020 release of Billboard 200 chart-topper BE.<\/p>\n

\n\tARIRANG features production from Diplo, Tame Impala\u2019s Kevin Parker, Mike WiLL Made-It and Ryan Tedder.<\/p>\n

\n\tBesides unveiling the album this week, BTS also released a music video for the song \u201cSWIM\u201d co-starring actress Lili Reinhart. The cinematic visual was directed by Tanu Mui\u00f1o.<\/p>\n

\n\tNow that it\u2019s all finally here, there\u2019s still plenty to look forward to \u2014 like a globe-trekking stadium tour<\/a> that kicks off in April.<\/p>\n

\n\tAmong the new releases trailing behind ARIRANG are a number of new singles, including Niall Horan\u2019s \u201cDinner Party,\u201d Lizzo\u2019s \u201cDon\u2019t Make Me Love U,\u201d Paris Paloma\u2019s \u201cMiyazaki\u201d and Dermot Kennedy\u2019s \u201cHonest.\u201d<\/p>\n
