K-Pop global superstars BTS have achieved another remarkable milestone: their captivating music video for “Swim” has garnered an astounding 100 million views on YouTube as of Wednesday. This impressive feat highlights the septet’s ongoing influence and the song’s widespread appeal among fans worldwide.
The visually stunning video, expertly filmed against the picturesque backdrops of Lisbon, Portugal, showcases the seven BTS members navigating the vast and beautiful sea, adding a cinematic quality to their latest hit track.
“Swim,” a powerful alternative pop tune, stands as the main track from the group’s highly anticipated fifth studio album, “Arirang,” which was unleashed to critical acclaim and fan fervor last month. Co-written by BTS leader RM, the track made an explosive debut, landing atop Billboard’s coveted Hot 100 chart and impressively maintaining a spot among the top five for two additional weeks.
The groundbreaking album, “Arirang,” has also carved its own path to success, reigning supreme for three consecutive weeks atop the prestigious Billboard 200 chart. Furthermore, it shattered sales records by surpassing 1 million units sold in the US, becoming the first album to achieve this significant milestone this year, and notably, doing so in the shortest time in history for any Asian act.
Meanwhile, BTS member Jungkook continues to make history with his solo endeavors. His massively popular single, “Seven (feat. Latto),” has charted for an incredible 1000 days on Spotify’s Daily Top Songs Global chart, a groundbreaking accomplishment that marks a first-ever for an Asian artist.
