BTS "Dynamite" music video surpassed 1.2 billion YouTube views on the night of August 6.
Because of this, the track is now the third BTS music video that reached the milestone. It follows "DNA" and "Boy With Luv (featuring Halsey)," both of which have surpassed 1.3 billion views. It is an increase of around 100 million views each month.
Released on August 21, 2020, "Dynamite" has a light disco pop genre and contains BTS' message of hope to everyone during difficult times of the pandemic. It is considered a song of healing.
BTS 'Dynamite' Exceeds 1.2 Billion Views
"Dynamite" is so far the fastest Korean group music video that reached 1.2 billion views. It broke the record of one year and 10 months that was held previously by BLACKPINK's "Kill This Love." This is BTS's third music video that reached this milestone after "DNA" and "Boy With Luv."
The song recorded the longest charting record for a Korean group by charting for around 32 weeks. It included two consecutive weeks on the US Billboard's "Hot 100" chart and then climbing up to three times in their career.
"Dynamite" also exceeded the cumulative 1 billion streaming on spotify. The Korean boy group is the only one to have this record.
