Meanwhile, in a statement, Guinness World Records wrote, “BTS have collected a jaw-dropping 23 Guinness World Records titles across music and social media – an amazing result achieved also thanks to the enthusiasm of their fans, the ARMY. Today, they are the most streamed group on Spotify (beating the British band Coldplay) and the most followed music group on Instagram.” The statement further read, “As for the blue bird app, BTS’ official accounts snatched the most Twitter engagements (average retweets) for a music group (a record that they have topped four times!). Their May 2021 release, Butter, single-handedly snatched five records, among which we find most viewers for the premiere of a music video on YouTube (previously held by BTS’ success Dynamite) and most streamed track on Spotify in the first 24 hours.”
Talking about the BTS records, Guinness World Records revaled that BTS has the record for the most-viewed YouTube video in 24 hours by a K-pop group, the fastest time to reach one million followers on TikTok (their current count is 40M followers), the most tickets sold for a live-streamed concert (756,000) and the most-viewed YouTube music video in 24 hours (Butter).
There is literally no bounds to what this K-pop band is achieving and the BTS ARMY can’t help but applaud.
