Last year, they released the “Top Trending Videos of 2017”. You can expect a whole lot of people will claim the same thing.Īs an additional tip, YouTube does release official view counts of the most viewed videos but does in periodically. There isn’t even an evidence that the views were shaved off except for some social media posts but accounts that don’t link to verifiable identities. There is also no link to any of YouTube official properties such as blog, the actual website, and official statements by the company stating the claim is legitimate or the interview actually happened.
To this day, the alleged "YouTube representative" is not named. It's is an old trick for people to claim they interviewed a credible source or official representative to gain legitimacy of a statement they cannot prove. The alleged "YouTube representative" never had a name and no one questioned the writer about when the interview was conducted or if there was any evidence the exchange of information ever happened. Several social media posters and one particular digital news site stated that they spoke to a YouTube Represenative and YouTube Representative said BTS only had 35 million views after their bots cleaned up the view count. When BTS released Fake Love, they recorded 40 million views before their 24th hour hit. It actually leads to legitimate bullying and some time in the past, fist fights. This feat will put BTS twice on the top 10 map of most viewed official MVs list with their single Fake Love.Ĭompetition among fandoms is fierce. Screencaps showed almost 51M views before the 20th hour beating Taylor Swift’s Look What You Made Me Do which held on to the record for exactly one year with 43.2 Million views. Idol is also what Koreans call pop singers. Idol is the carrier single of their latest album, Love Yourself: Answer. The 7-member boyband from South Korea, Jin, Suga, Jhope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook, dropped their MV yesterday, August 24 2am PST (4pm Korean time), for Idol.
If you don’t know who BTS is, you need a refresher course in Pop Culture 101. The mere fact they didn't started counting the views again means they are done verifying the views. You can check their OFFICIAL STATEMENT here. As per YouTube's official site, they freeze video counts if they need to verify the legitimacy of the views. It was just frozen before moving up again.
UPDATE: as of 6:51PM August 25 Los Angeles CA, YouTube view counts started moving again after being frozen at 61,839,689 for more than 10 hours. The confirmation was done through YouTube's official Twitter account. UPDATE: At a little past 5PM, August 27 PST, YouTube confirmed that BTS' Idol set a new record with the most valid views of all Music Videos in the first 24 hours with more than 45 millions views.
