I'm guessing that the American MV's probably have a higher Unique Listener count in those 24 hours compared to the K-Pop MV's though.

True. I'm not really keeping up with music outside Asia, but I did notice the crazy amount of views on those videos. 

[JihyoStoleMyHeartAYAYAY]

[satoori]

Congrats to everyone!

Erm but most people do view-spamming wrong. YouTube is very sensitive as far as dismissing replays. Hardcore fans know to clear history, watch without an account, have volume up, etc. in order to make their repeat views count, but very few people actually bother with all that.

bts would had more if bighit paid ads and less deleted views!

[shay]

Highest diss song..😂😂😂

[Relativity]

Eminem #3 with audio

King. That's how it should be, listening to music instead of watching music. streaming culture is a joke that only Kpop has. 

Good wood is better than good paint. 

[CrimemasterGogo]

Not to downplay K-pop but I feel like Spotify has kinda killed YouTube. Mv views have been low since streaming hit full on mainstream. Nowdays it's mainly just kpop atans doing aggressive tactics while most people don't care and will really just watch their own subscription channels and random videos.

[EXOSUS]

What's the point of having most views on the first day???

[classiq]

Just for bragging purposes really.

The publicity is unbelievable, Taylor was everywhere and when BTS broke that record they were everywhere on the news as well so it’s good promo.

[pururin]

2 more BTS comebacks and xxxflopacion is out of the top 10!

[abra]

I'm shocked PSY is still in the top 10 after 5+ years 

[StyleStartSbenu]

That just shows you its mostly just kpop fans who are jobless and obsessed enough to mass stream.

[OngengOng]

Well, YouTube is not only big in the US, it’s really big in Asia, especially South East Asia, bc there is no other platform to watch and listen to kpop. Spotify, apple music and other streaming platforms are not big there. So, obviously as kpop is dominating Asia, their number would be big. Like streaming helps, but public recognition is the key of these big numbers. There are limits to how much the fans can contribute to the number of views.

KPOP outsold western music
