Momentum

This song has not appeared on a Rotation chart, so it has no score and no receipts. The rank history below is the ledger; a score is only published once the momentum run puts it on a chart.

Why it's here

"Merry Go Round" is the eighth track on BTS's album Arirang, released March 20, 2026, their first studio album since all seven members completed South Korean military service in June 2025. [1] BTS released a black-and-white music video for the song on June 19, 2026, made with Spotify and available exclusively on that platform, which reinterprets the carousel imagery from their 2017 "Spring Day" video. [2] The track is a psychedelic-rock collaboration written and produced with Kevin Parker of Tame Impala, alongside Sam Homaee, Sarah Aarons, RM, Suga, J-Hope and Pdogg. [3]
