'Dynamite’: New BTS single obliterates YouTube premiere record

BTS has released their new single, “Dynamite,” ending the wait for one of the most highly anticipated songs of 2020.

The “Dynamite” video got off to an explosive start, with millions of people tuning in to watch when it went live at midnight EST, Forbes.com reports. 

The video premiere attracted at least 3 million concurrent viewers, according to YouTube’s live counter, and a refresh immediately following the premiere showed the view count at just over 4 million. Exact figures are not available yet, but a live view count between 3 and 4 million easily gives BTS the biggest YouTube premiere ever, potentially doubling the former record holder.
