BTS has claimed another Guinness World Records title with their song Dynamite. On March 16, Guinness World Records confirmed that the Kpop boy band’s song Dynamite has clinched the title of “Most simultaneous viewers for a music video on YouTube Premieres.”
The music video premiere on August 21, 2020 was watched by over 3 million concurrent viewers. The video went on to log 101.1 million views 24 hours after its release.
Back in September, Guinness World Records confirmed that BTS was in the running for “Most viewed YouTube video in 24 hours,” “Most viewed YouTube music video in 24 hours,” and “Most viewed YouTube music video in 24 hours by a K-pop group.” At the time, the organization was waiting on confirmation from YouTube.
This means BTS managed to reclaim the title they first earned with the music video for ON with 1.54 million views on February 27, 2020 before BLACKPINK took the title with 1.65 million viewers with the premiere of their How You Like That video on June 26, 2020.
The other titles won by BTS previously include “Best-selling album (South Korea)”, “Most viewers for a music concert live stream” and “Most Twitter engagements.”
Rocking the Grammys
While their legion of fans was disappointed the group did not win the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance Grammy, BTS’s high energy performance at the awards showed the world why they deserved to be in the running.
Beaming directly from South Korea to the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles, the boys brought their Billboard Hot 100 topper Dynamite to Music’s Biggest Night ... and stole the show.
The entire BTS segment was most definitely one of the highlights of the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards with flawlessly executed choreography, fancy footwork and irresistible smiles.
The group even as far as to recreate much of the Los Angeles Grammy set to give their performance a continuity with the rest of the show even though they were performing halfway across the world.
Despite not taking home the Grammy, the boys definitely seized the moment to show the world why they’re at the top of their game.
