The situation
BTS' latest activities have been making waves, but a recent milestone achieved by their music video "NORMAL" is noteworthy - it has broken the record for the biggest single day streams for a K-Pop music video in Spotify history. This feat comes on the heels of Taylor Swift's dominance of Spotify's streaming records, including the most streams in a single week. BTS' album ARIRANG, released in March, also landed in the top ten most streamed albums in a single week, with over 500 million streams.
What the internet did with it
- — "BTS is really proving they still have it, even after the hiatus" - a sentiment reflected in the streaming numbers, which show no signs of slowing down.
- The record-breaking stream count for "NORMAL" is a testament to the group's enduring popularity and the dedicated fanbase that has been supporting them throughout their career.
- On Theqoo, the reaction was largely positive, with many fans expressing pride and admiration for the group's achievement, although some users did mention that the *_์ฌ์ด๋ค_* factor was somewhat diminished by the lack of a music show comeback to accompany the release.
The open question
The exact stream count for "NORMAL" on its record-breaking day has not been officially disclosed, leaving fans and observers wondering just how high the number went. The confirmation of this detail would provide a clearer picture of the group's current streaming power and its implications for their future activities.
