Update: A previous version of this story stated that BTS’ “Fake Love” video earned approximately 41 million YouTube views in its first 24 hours. YouTube officially pegged the 24-hour total at . The rest of this story has been updated accordingly.

BTS continue to rack up major accomplishments with their new album, Love Yourself: Tear, as their “Fake Love” video scored the highest 24-hour YouTube debut of 2018, and the third-highest for a music video in YouTube history.

“Fake Love” garnered approximately 35.9 million views in its first 24 hours. It fell just short of Psy’s “Gentleman,” which racked up 36 million views in its opening frame in April 2013. The K-pop group also became the third artist in history to score more than 30 million YouTube views in its first 24 hours. The 24-hour record still belongs to Taylor Swift’s “Look What You Made Me Do,” which earned 43.2 million YouTube views in its first day last August.

BTS also broke their own record for the most-viewed music video in 24 hours by a K-pop group, far exceeding their former best, “DNA,” which earned in its first 24 hours. “DNA” also became the fastest K-pop video to reach 100 million views in just over 24 days. “Fake Love” has already climbed past 70 million views, so expect the K-pop septet to shatter another one of their own records fairly quickly.

The massive success of “Fake Love” marks the latest triumph in a sensational rollout for Love Yourself: Tear. The album broke a in South Korea, selling 1.44 million copies in its first week, making BTS the only K-pop group to exceed one million pre-orders with multiple albums. The album also reached No. 1 on the U.S. iTunes chart hours after its release, and all 11 of its songs entered the U.S. iTunes Top 20.

The importance of music video views when determining a song’s chart success should not go understated. Last week, Childish Gambino’s “This Is America” debuted atop the Billboard Hot 100 thanks largely to its , which has garnered nearly 154 million views in two weeks. Based on BTS' upward trajectory, fans should anticipate their biggest splash on the Billboard charts to date with Love Yourself: Tear and “Fake Love.”
