BTS's 'Idol' video breaks a big Taylor Swift record
Taylor Swift has been
dethroned from a major YouTube record by South Korean boyband, BTS.
Not only did K-pop group BTS beat Taylor Swift's record for most-viewed YouTube video in 24-hours, but they did so by a huge margin.
The South Korean group's new video, 'Idol', was watched over 56-million times on day one, beating Taylor's previous record of 43-million for 'Look What You Made Me Do' - which held the title since August 2017.

'Idol' is the lead single off the seven-member boyband's new album, 'Love Yourself: Answer', which was released on Friday - the same day their music video dropped.
The video is currently sitting on more than 73-million views on YouTube.
BTS's video for their hit single, 'Fake Love', was also a record breaker.
'Fake Love' became the fastest K-pop video to reach 100-million views - in eight days, according to Forbes magazine.
At the rate 'Idol' is blowing up, it is likely to break that record as well.
