BTS becomes first K-pop group to reach 2 bln Spotify streams with 'Dynamite'

SEOUL, Jan. 14 (Yonhap) -- K-pop boy group BTS' 2020 global megahit "Dynamite" has achieved 2 billion streams on global music streaming giant Spotify, the group's agency, BigHit Music, said Tuesday.

This achievement makes BTS the first K-pop group to reach such a milestone. Among solo artists in the industry, BTS member Jungkook became the first to surpass 2 billion streams with his individual single "Seven."

An upbeat disco-pop track, "Dynamite" is characterized by its addictive rhythm and cheerful, dynamic choreography.

With the song, the septet became the first K-pop act to top the Billboard Hot 100 and earn a Grammy nomination.

The song's music video surpassed 1.9 billion views on YouTube last year, marking the first time a BTS video has achieved such a record.
