BTS 'Butter' MV hits 1.1 billion YouTube views, giving the group 7 videos past that mark
'Butter' crossed 1.1 billion views on July 27—five years after it set a then-K-pop record by hitting 100 million in 21 hours.
The Butter music video hit 1.1 billion YouTube views around 2 AM on July 27, making it BTS's seventh video to cross that mark.
Dynamite leads the pack at 2.1 billion. Boy With Luv (Feat. Halsey) sits at 1.9 billion. DNA has 1.6 billion. MIC Drop (Steve Aoki Remix) reached 1.5 billion. Both FAKE LOVE and IDOL landed at 1.3 billion each. Blood Sweat & Tears also cleared the billion threshold.
Released as a digital single in May 2021, Butter was BTS's second all-English track. Dynamite came first, in August 2020. The Butter video pulled 10 million views in 13 minutes, then hit 100 million in 21 hours—the fastest any K-pop music video had managed at that point.
Butter debuted at number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 dated June 5, 2021. It topped the chart 10 times total and stayed on the Hot 100 for 20 weeks. Seven 1.1-billion-view MVs from one group is the kind of stat that makes you re-read it.
The track is a dance-pop song built around a bass line and bright synthesizer sound.
