KUALA LUMPUR: International K-Pop sensation BTS has once again found success after dropping it’s 10th Japanese single, Lights/Boy With Luv, last Wednesday.
According to Koreaboo, the song has already accumulated millions of streams online with its music video chalking up over 15 million views in just two days.
It has also received more than 467,000 points on Japan’s Oricon Chart for Daily Singles, which is 140,000 points higher than BTS’ previous Japanese single, Fake Love/Airplane Pt. 2.
But what’s more surprising was that the new song’s preorder sales came up to a whopping total of one million orders.
This meant that Lights had broken the previous record in Japan set by Celine Dion way back in 1995 for her hit tune, To Love You More.
So the record held by the Canadian singer with a powerful voice for the last 24 years was finally beaten.
It seems that 24 is somewhat a lucky number for the seven-member K-Pop music outfit.
Last month, BTS reportedly broke the Guinness World Record for the best-selling album by a Korean artiste in South Korean history.
The group’s studio release, Map Of The Soul: Persona, had beaten an album by Kim Gun-mo, who had held on to that title for the past 24 years.
