BTS can be sure of the support of their fans: The clip for "Dynamite" is already being clicked record-breaking on YouTube.
New single, new record: The K-Pop band BTS hit the bull's eye once again with their music video for "Dynamite". The video premiere on YouTube followed on Friday (August 21), according to the US portal "Variety", more than three million fans simultaneously live. Official figures from the Internet video platform are still pending, but the record holder – the K-pop girl group Blackpink – has been overtaken by the seven musicians. In comparison, only around 1.66 million viewers are said to have followed the video premiere of Blackpink's single "How You Like That" live in June.
Will you get back another top spot?
"Dynamite" is the first K-pop superstar song to be entirely written in English. This seems to go down well with the fans – and BTS could possibly set the next record right away. If the music video for the new single continues to be clicked so vigorously, the musicians have a good chance of the most-viewed YouTube video in the first 24 hours.
They were able to claim this title for themselves together with Halsey (25) and "Boy With Luv" in April 2019, but shortly afterwards had to cede it to Blackpink's "How You Like That". The girl group's track was viewed 86.3 million times in the first 24 hours. "Dynamite" recorded around 56.6 million clicks twelve hours after its premiere.
