Smooth Like Butter!
BTS’ digital single ‘Butter’ breaks five Guinness World Records!
The septet’s English release has garnered many successes, and its five record sweep was officially recognized by Guinness World Records on May 25.
These include: Most Viewers for the premier for a Music Video on YouTube, Most Viewers for the premier of any video on YouTube (3.9 million), Most Viewed YouTube MV by a K-Pop group in 24 hours, Most Viewed YouTube MV by any artist in 24 hours (108.2 million views) and Most Streamed Track on Spotify in the first 24 hours (11, 042, 335 times).
Moreover, ‘Butter’ had been streamed 16.3 billion times on Spotify (till 27 April 2021), which broke the record for the most streamed act on Spotify (group).
These successes make BTS not only overtake records set by their songs, ‘Dynamite’ and ‘Film Out’, but also overtake artists like Ed Sheeran, Justin Bieber and Coldplay.
Now, the K-Pop group has 23 Guineas World Records in its kitty, making the seven members at par with Mariah Carey, Madonna, The Beatles and Ariana Grande.
Further, BTS is also tied with Fifth Harmony for most Nickelodeon Kid’s Choice Awards won by a music group. ‘Dynamite’ spent its eighteenth non-consecutive week at No.1, which made it break the record for most weeks at No.1 on Billboard’s Digital Song Sales Chart (as of 10 April 2021).
BTS has certainly started 2021 with a bang! ARMY, how do you feel about BTS breaking so many records? Let us know in the comments! Tag a proud army 💜
