BTS has broken YouTube’s record for the highest number of viewers for the premiere of a video. The first English song by the K-Pop group Dynamite received 3 million live viewers, twice the audience counts the second-highest premiere ever, according to Variety Friday.
Dynamite is also on track to break the record for most views in the first 24 hours of a music video debut on YouTube – as of publication, the video was viewed 69.5 million times, just 15 hours after its premiere. The current record holder is K-Pop group Blackpink with How You Like That.
It may take a little longer to crack the record for the most viewed music videos, however, which is currently held by Despacito with 6.9 billion views.
