BTS just hit another milestone, and fans can't stop talking about it. The band's video of their popular song Dynamite just hit 2 billion views, making it the first video to do so for the band. The music video reached this peak after five years of its release. The song caused a storm when it originally came out and ended up topping the charts, becoming one of the band's most viral and well-known songs.
Was Dynamite the turning point of the record?
According to several reports, Dynamite was the first fully English single of the band, and it ended up becoming the first song by a Korean artist to top the Billboard Hot 100. This milestone proved the influence of the band and the rising impact of Korean music in mainstream U.S. single charts.
The Dynamite craze is alive, not just on YouTube ( it's everywhere).
Earlier this year, the song crossed the 2 billion mark on Spotify; it was a first for a Korean artist. It also joined the list of the most played songs of the past decade, ranking at number 34, with "Butter" also joining the list.
How are the fans reacting to this milestone?
Fans are overjoyed by the news. The BTS Army took to social media to celebrate the band hitting this milestone by getting #BTSDYNAMITE trending on social media to express their love and support toward their idols.
When can we expect new music from the band?
BTS is currently actively working to record their full group album that'll also mark their return after their military hiatus. After a two-month-long stay, the band will soon head back to the U.S. to record music videos for the album. As of now, the band is planning to either drop the album in spring 2026 or around March 2026. Fans could not be more excited, and they're hoping for the music to come as soon as possible.
