BTS dropped the full Bangtan Bomb of the group’s historic visit to Mexico’s National Palace. In a new video shared Wednesday (May 27) on its official channels, the South Korean K-pop supergroup takes fans on a tour inside the presidential residence with President Claudia Sheinbaum, exploring the gardens and sharing an unforgettable moment as they waved to ARMY from the balcony overlooking thousands of fans gathered in the Zócalo, the country’s main public square.

The five-minute video features content very similar to what Sheinbaum previously shared on her TikTok account on May 7, a day after her meeting with the group. It shows the septet having a brief conversation with the president in the presidential office, receiving an official recognition from the Government of Mexico and the moments leading up to when the band stepped out onto the balcony, where the members were met with the roar of 50,000 people (according to official figures) gathered in the Plaza de la Constitución, the official name of the Zócalo.

“¡Hola, somos BTS!” (“Hello, we are BTS!”) RM says to the crowd in the Zócalo, a moment that has already gone viral around the world. In the background, viewers can hear the trumpet of a mariachi band that some members of ARMY Mexico hired to set the mood for the meeting with their idols.

The video then shows RM asking V to say to their Mexican ARMY, “México, mucho picante” or “Mexico, very spicy”), one of the most celebrated phrases by their fandom during the group’s visit to the country. “Ah, it’s crazy,” Jimin says, still amazed by the local crowd’s response.

Another of the touching moments captured in the video shows RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V and Jung Kook walking through the gardens of the National Palace, surprised to encounter some of the 16 cats that live at the presidential residence, one of the country’s most iconic colonial buildings.

During her morning press conference Wednesday, Sheinbaum once again thanked the band members for their visit and said the group was very surprised by the warm response from ARMY in the Zócalo. “We asked them, ‘Would you like to come to the National Palace? So people could see you for a few minutes,’” recalled the Mexican head of state. “They said yes, and the best news is that they’re coming back next year. They loved Mexico so much that they decided to return, and it’s also a way to thank their ARMY,” she added, although there has yet to be an official announcement or confirmation from the group and their representatives.

Sheinbaum embraced the wish of Mexico’s ARMY members after tickets for BTS’ three concerts on May 7, 9 and 10 at the Estadio GNP Seguros sold out in less than an hour. Through a letter, the president asked her South Korean counterpart, Lee Jae Myung, for more concerts in the country, as she revealed on Jan. 26. Three weeks later, she announced that the South Korean government had responded, saying they forwarded the request to the company managing the supergroup.

The South Korean president was invited for an official visit to Mexico this September, according to a message shared by Sheinbaum on her social media on May 15.

Five Finger Death Punch is back at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Hard Rock Songs chart, debuting atop the survey dated June 6 with “Eye of the Storm.”

Released May 15, the song totaled 1.5 million chart-eligible streams, 1.7 million radio audience impressions and 2,000 sold in the United States in the week ending May 21, according to Luminate.

The track’s premiere atop the chart follows the 18-week rule of the band’s “A Little Bit Off” beginning in July 2020. That song started at No. 2 on the inaugural Hot Hard Rock Songs ranking that June. In all, the group, which formed in Las Vegas in 2005, boasts 11 top 10s.

In between “A Little Bit Off” and “Eye of the Storm,” the act tallied 12 entries, paced by a No. 2 peak for “AfterLife” in 2022.

Concurrently, “Eye of the Storm” begins at No. 18 on Mainstream Rock Airplay and enters the all-rock-format, audience-based Rock & Alternative Airplay chart at No. 26. It’s Five Finger Death Punch’s best debut on the former since “AfterLife” (No. 16).

The download count for “Eye of the Storm” is also good for a No. 1 start on Hard Rock Digital Song Sales, the band’s chart-leading 18th ruler, dating to its first, “Under and Over It,” in 2011.

“Eye of the Storm” is currently a standalone single, expected to be part of the band’s 10th studio album, which does not yet have a release date. Its predecessor, AfterLife, debuted at No. 1 on the Top Hard Rock Albums chart in 2022 and has earned 423,000 equivalent album units to date.

Galantis, the longstanding dance project from Swedish producer Christian Karlsson, has found a new home with the Ninja Tune imprint Counter Records.

Galantis’ first release on Counter is “Stay Alive,” a breezy and emotive electronic cover of José Gonzalez‘s 2013 classic “Stay Alive,” which itself was co-written by Ryan Adams. Out today (May 27), the single is Galantis’ first project with The Devil’s Tax Return, a new era of Galantis which Karlsson himself says serves as “an ode to the music that always inspired me.” Watch the video for the single below.

”Signing with Ninja Tune imprint Counter Records feels incredibly special to me,” Karlsson tells Billboard. “Ninja Tune is a label I’ve admired since the ‘90s and to be part of that family with Galantis feels like coming home to music that shaped me. This is also the first time in my career that I’m not signed to a major label, and it’s completely changed the way I create music. I feel a freedom and inspiration I haven’t felt in a long time, it reminds me why I fell in love with making music in the first place.”

The most recent Galantis album, 2024’s Rx, was released on Atlantic subsidiary Big Beat Records, with much of the act’s prior output released on Atlantic itself.

Galantis has summer tour dates extending into the fall, with performances of his ongoing Midsommar show set for San Francisco in June and Chicago in August. Beyond that, Galantis will play festivals including Michigan’s Electric Forest and Toronto’s Veld Music Festival, along with club shows in Charleston, S.C., Miami, St. Louis and beyond.
