This day becomes extra special for ARMYs as April 12 also marks the 2nd anniversary of Map of the Soul: Persona; the album that has another 1 billion MV, Boy With Luv Feat. Halsey.

Looks like ARMYs are planning to break multiple records this year. Coldplay leads in the category of Top Group/Band with most music Videos above 1 billion views with 4 MVs in total. BTS is not far behind as they have 3 MVs including the latest entry, Dynamite. With Fake Love and Mic Drop both above 900 Million views, BTS may break Coldplay’s record by the end of this year.

Also, BTS will hold their BANGBANGCON 2021 on April 17 at 3 pm KST. 

Congratulations, BTS and ARMYs!
