It also exploded on YouTube... BTS 'Dynamite' Guinness Record Registration
Officially Recognized as the Most Viewed YouTube Video in 24 Hours
The group BTS (Bangtan Sonyeondan) has added three new Guinness World Records with their song "Dynamite," which topped the US Billboard main singles chart.
The British Guinness World Records announced on the 1st (local time) that the "Dynamite" music video has been certified as the "most viewed YouTube video in 24 hours." The video was released on the 21st of last month and recorded 101.1 million views on YouTube within 24 hours. Thanks to this extraordinary attention, it was also listed for two other world records: "most viewed YouTube music video in 24 hours" and "most viewed K-pop group YouTube music video in 24 hours."
The "Dynamite" music video focuses on reflecting the lifestyle of American teenagers. Set against backgrounds such as a slanted attic commonly seen in American middle-class homes, the members hold a wholesome party. Milk, donuts, basketball courts, and ice cream trucks appear in colorful, vibrant hues, layered with 1980s fashion, giving off a strong disco vibe.
The previous record holder was the group BLACKPINK. Their music video "How You Like That," released on June 26, recorded 86.3 million views on YouTube within 24 hours. Surpassing this with ease, the "Dynamite" music video has continued its success with 280 million views as of the 3rd. BTS also holds several Guinness World Records, including being listed for "most viewers for a music concert live stream" with their online concert "Bang Bang Con The Live" held in June.
Guinness World Records stated, "This year has been a year in which BTS achieved various records," adding, "They hold titles such as 'the first K-POP artist to top the US album chart' and 'most Twitter activity.'"
