The music video of “BANG BANG BANG”, group BIG BANG’s new song for June, has surpassed 50 million views on YouTube.
As of August 24 at 8am, the music video of “BANG BANG BANG” surpassed 50 million views, recording 50,118,630 views on YouTube. The record was set within two months and 24 days from its released on June 1. That was the second record of 50 million views in “MADE SERIES”, following the same record of “LOSER”’s music video that surpassed the 50 million mark on the 2 of this month.
“BANG BANG BANG” was included in “MADE SERIES”’s second album “A” and it enjoyed a big popularity with its exciting beat and sound that fit the summer season, sweeping top places on music charts upon its release. The music video of the song also drew a lot of attention for its fancy and sensual visual and BIG BANG members’ dynamic but comfortable performance. On the 21st of last month, the video was selected as June’s most-watched K-pop music video in America and the world on YouTube by Billboard, proving BIG BANG’s global popularity.
With such continuous popularity of “MADE SERIES”, BIG BANG has been carrying out world tour in which they meet fans around the world. On August 4 at 9am, the performance of “LET’S NOT FALL IN LOVE” and making video of the Chengdu concert of “BIG BANG 2015 WORLD TOUR MADE” was unveiled. The video was released on NAVER TV CAST to vividly show BIG BANG’s performances staged at Chengdu Sports Center in China on August 14. Notably, the making video is all the more eye-catching, as the scene of fans celebrating G-Dragon’s birthday – August 18 – with “Happy GDAY” slogan and the members singing happy birthday song with fans is included.
Notably, the concert held jointly by YG, “LIVE NATION”, and “STAR GROUP” drew 30,000 fans, setting the record of highest-ever number of audience and ticket sale volume in Chengdu. Before that, BIG BANG’s Shanghai tour held from June 19 to 21 set the record of the first-ever three consecutive concerts by a K-pop singer in China.
Meanwhile, BIG BANG took the No.1 in SBS “INKIGAYO” with “LET’S NOT FALL IN LOVE” on the 23, for two weeks in a row. BIG BANG is also sweeping other music shows, taking the No.1 with GD&TOP’s “ZUTTER” in Mnet “M-Countdown” on the 20, with “LET’S NOT FALL IN LOVE” in MBC “Show Music Center” for two consecutive weeks, and in KBS 2TV’s “Music Bank” on the 22.
