BTS tops Billboard albums chart for 2nd week with 'Arirang,' a first in K-pop

BTS became the first K-pop act to top the US Billboard 200 albums chart for two consecutive weeks, Billboard said Sunday (local time). The group's fifth studio album, "Arirang," stayed at No. 1 for a second week, ahead of "Bully" from Ye (formerly Kanye West) and Melanie Martinez's "Hades." No other K-pop act had previously led the chart for two weeks in a row. The original soundtrack of the animated film "KPop Demon Hunters" earlier reached the top spot on a non-consecutive basis.
