영국도 달군 방탄소년단...'다이너마이트'로 싱글 차트 3위
K-pop megastar group BTS is smashing numerous records with their latest single 'Dynamite'...a disco-pop genre track sung entirely in English.
Bae Eun-ji has more.
The new track released last Friday by K-pop supergroup BTS, is gaining popularity all across the world.
The boy band scored their highest ever ranking on the UK chart by reaching number three...and might be heading for number one.
They have already topped the UK charts twice with their albums, but this is the first time that they have entered the top ten with one of their single tracks.
According to the UK Official Charts Company, it notched up 5-point-3 million streams and 22-thousand downloads.
BTS told the official charts that they feel humbled and honored by these astonishing numbers.
"Dynamite is a disco pop song for everybody. It's about confidence and having fun. Through 'Dynamite', we wanted to give people everywhere a message of hope. Like J-Hope "
The disco-pop track's music video has now earned more than 220 million views,... setting a new record on Youtube for being the fastest song to reach 200 million views.
And it also swept digital sales as it topped the iTunes download charts in 104 countries.
Forbes magazine said it is expected to hit number-one on next week's Billboard Hot 100.
This would give BTS their first US number-one hit,... making them the first Korean stars ever to top the Hot 100.
It seems all eyes are on BTS to see if their all-English single will break any more records.
