BTS has sparked full-scale comeback momentum, adding its 10th music video to the 800 million-view club and signaling the growing power of its global fandom.
On Feb. 1, BigHit Music announced that the music video for "Save ME," a track from the special album "The Most Beautiful Moment in Life Young Forever," surpassed 800 million views on YouTube at approximately 2:02 a.m.
With this, BTS now holds 10 music videos with more than 800 million views. The milestone was achieved roughly nine years and nine months after its May 2016 release, reflecting the song’s enduring popularity driven by its refined tropical house and future bass sound, as well as the members’ lyrical performance captured in a one-take format.
Notably, the achievement is not a one-time spike. The group recently received streaming certifications from the Recording Industry Association of Japan for fan songs including "Yet To Come" (Platinum) and "Love Maze" (Gold). Pre-orders for the upcoming fifth full-length album "ARIRANG" also exceeded 4.06 million copies within a week, demonstrating overwhelming demand for both past and new releases.
Additional metrics, including a No. 1 ranking on Spotify’s Countdown Chart Global, indicate that fan anticipation has already peaked ahead of the group’s full-member return in March and a large-scale stadium tour spanning 82 shows across 34 cities beginning in April.
BTS will release its fifth studio album "ARIRANG" worldwide on March 20 and launch its world tour starting April 9 at Goyang Stadium.
