BTS's "Dynamite" Still at the Top
Unsurprisingly, BTS's music video for "Dynamite" takes the throne at number one for the fifth week of Jan. 2021 with 17,615,720 views. BTS has taken the top spot a total of nine times with just one single song. They are the longest-standing group at the top spot, beating out BLACKPINK's previous record of staying at number one for five weeks with "How You Like That" in Aug. last year, 2020. B
TS has proved their popularity by staying at the top of the list during a time where numerous popular artists drop new songs.
K-Pop Radar revealed that the weekly views for the music video of "Dynamite" continue to rise despite how it was released late last year. This is an unusual record that is unseen even outside the world of K-pop. They believe that if this trend continues, "Dynamite" can easily garner over one billion views.
IU's "Celebrity" and More are New Additions to This Week's Chart
Though IU released "Celebrity" three days before the end of the fifth week of January (on Jan. 27), it still managed to snag the number two spot with 16 766,902 views. The music video for "Celebrity" was released in conjunction with the single and marked IU's first single release single she dropped "eight (Prod. & Feat. SUGA of BTS)" in May 2020.

Another new release is HyunA's music video for "I'm Not Cool," which sits at number three with 9,981,139 views. Despite only being released two days before the fifth week of January ended (Jan. 28), it still managed to climb to the top spot. The song "I'm Not Cool" was written by HyunA, PSY, and DAWN. HyunA is the first artist under P Nation to have a comeback in 2021.
