“We were all anticipating BTS new single Dynamite and ARMY was already prepared for the records that are to be broken on this new single. The Dynamite Teaser had its own record breaking streaks and right now it has 55 Million views, 6 Million likes, 1 Million comments and counting! This being my very first comeback, I really could not sleep, even though on our end the video would premiere at 7 AM.

I have never been this much excited and anxious at the same time before! ARMY, is this what y’all been experiencing since 2013? It is just an emotion you cannot explain, both a mixture of excitement, fear (I don’t know why this), panic attacks and breathlessness.

As soon as it was 6:30 time for the live countdown, I was already logged in, and there were already 1.3 Million people already live! So much for thinking I’d at least be there before 1 Million but who am I kidding, some people are blessed with really fast keyboard hands! It was so great seeing BTS live as they read some of the comments that they had asked ARMY to tweet about one word that describes Dynamite to them. The comment that stuck out was that ‘Dynamite is like a warm blanket…’

Dynamite by BTS has just shattered YouTube’s record for the most views during a video premiere, setting a new benchmark in the platform’s history. Released with explosive anticipation, the music video amassed over 3 million concurrent viewers during its premiere, surpassing all previous records. This massive turnout highlights BTS’s unparalleled global fanbase, affectionately known as ARMY, who flooded the platform the moment the countdown hit zero.

The retro-themed, disco-pop single marked BTS’s first all-English track, strategically designed to uplift spirits during the COVID-19 pandemic. Its upbeat tempo, vibrant visuals, and feel-good lyrics instantly resonated with audiences around the world. YouTube traffic spiked as fans from different time zones coordinated watch parties, helping the video rack up tens of millions of views within just the first few hours after its release.

This historic achievement not only showcases BTS’s growing dominance in the Western music scene but also cements their legacy as digital trailblazers. With Dynamite, BTS didn’t just break a record—they created a cultural moment, proving once again that music transcends language barriers and that the power of a united fandom is truly unstoppable.

Dynamite premier garnered over 3 million views during the premier live, not yet confirmed by YouTube, this is just from Big Hit’s YouTube page on the live archive. Either way ARMY did break the record for the most views on Youube live premier!
