In the realm of YouTube views, the BTS phenomenon remains unshaken as the highly-anticipated GTA 6 trailer failed to surpass the records set by the K-pop sensations’ chart-topping hits, ‘Dynamite’ and ‘Butter.’

Despite creating a massive stir on the internet and breaking numerous records, the GTA 6 trailer, trending worldwide on YouTube, couldn’t dethrone BTS’ impressive viewership achievements within the first 24 hours of release. The trailer sparked intense discussions among fans when it unexpectedly dropped on YouTube 14 hours earlier than the planned release time. Within the initial 12 hours, it garnered over 60 million views, raising hopes that it might surpass the 24-hour records set by BTS.

For those unfamiliar with the milestones, BTS’ ‘Dynamite’ raked in 101 million views within the first 24 hours of its release, while ‘Butter’ soared even higher with 108 million views within the same timeframe. Despite high expectations, the GTA 6 trailer fell short of crossing these remarkable thresholds, accumulating over 90 million views in its first 24 hours.

Nevertheless, the video managed to secure a noteworthy position by surpassing the record set by BLACKPINK’s music video ‘Pink Venom.’ The GTA 6 trailer’s performance, while not eclipsing BTS’ reign, still marks a significant achievement in the realm of online viewership.
