BTS’s 10-Year-Old Song “Ma City” Reenters Global Charts — The Power of ARMY’s “Come to My City for the 2026 Tour” Campaign [K-EYES]



BTS’s 2015 track “Ma City” is making headlines as it climbs global charts again — a resurgence fueled by ARMYs worldwide rallying under a campaign to bring BTS’s 2026 world tour to their own cities.


On November 9 (local time), just one day after the launch of the #BTSInMaCity campaign, “Ma City” shot up to No. 9 on the U.S. iTunes chart, entering the Top 10. It also reached No. 1 in 14 countries, including Hungary, Cambodia, Armenia, Belarus, Austria, Lithuania, Romania, Finland, the Bahamas, and Bulgaria. Additionally, it ranked No. 2 in Singapore, No. 3 in Malaysia and Poland, and No. 7 in Portugal, landing in the Top 100 in 23 countries overall.



Remarkably, these achievements came without any official promotion from BTS or HYBE — purely through fans’ organic efforts.





“Ma City” is a song in which each BTS member references his hometown, singing, “Come to my city.” Leveraging this theme, ARMYs around the world have been posting invitations on social media, pairing their city names with messages asking BTS to visit as part of their 2026 world tour.

Fans have gone beyond streaming and purchasing the song, sharing personal stories and local pride in hopes that BTS will include their regions in the upcoming tour.

One fan account, @nicolegotnojams, has been providing real-time chart updates, encouraging others to “keep pushing.” Another fan suggested launching a follow-up campaign, saying, “Let’s get ‘I’ll Be There’ to No. 1 on U.S. iTunes next weekend to celebrate Jin’s birthday.”
