Every new K-Pop song release seems to bring with it new records of some kind.
However, BTS' new single has broken boundaries on a global level!
Read more from these excerpts from The Korea Herald and Billboard!
BTS' new music video garnered 101.1 million views within 24 hours of its release, with more than 3 million concurrent viewers tuning in at premiere time.
This makes it the music video with the biggest first-day debut to date!
The hit song "Dynamite" by K-pop superstars BTS has topped Spotify's main chart, making the band the first K-pop act to achieve the feat, the group's agency said Sunday.
The K-pop septet's EP garnered 7,778,950 streaming hits on Friday (Korea time) on the Global Top 50 chart compiled by music streaming service provider Spotify.
It marks the highest streaming record by a K-pop song on Spotify on the day of release this year, Big Hit Entertainment said.
The song beat the previous record by "How You Like That," a hit by K-pop girl group BLACKPINK that won the No. 2 spot in June.
The upbeat disco-pop song is BTS' latest release after the album "Map of the Soul: 7 — The Journey" was rolled out in Japan in July.
In a press conference held online Friday, the group said "Dynamite" was a "refresh project" for themselves and was meant to send out cheerful, bright messages for people across the globe who are going through a hard time due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
