Another week, another BTS record. 

Last week, the global pop group's single 'Dynamite' overtook PSY's 'Gangnam Style' for the longest-charting song on Billboard's Hot 100. This week, that same GRAMMY-nominated and record-breaking track's music video just broke 1 billion views on YouTube, seven months after its initial release. The feat makes 'Dynamite' the fastest music video by a Korean group to reach 1 billion views.

The first single off of their album BE, and one of 2020's best-selling singles garnered 10 million views within the first 20 minutes of its release. Since then, the song has amassed a myriad of awards and broken dozens of records. 'Dynamite' joins 'Boy with Luv' with Halsey and 'DNA' in BTS' 1 billion views club.

Here's a list of performances for BTS' record-breaking hit, 'Dynamite'

Most recently, the single became the fastest music video by a Korean act to accumulate 700 million views, set the record for most concurrent views on a YouTube premiere with 3 million viewers, and even earned the group the title of IFPI 2020 Global Artist of the Year
