Last week, the seven-member boyband became the first-ever K-pop group to top North America's Billboard 200 album charts with its third studio album, Love Yourself: Tear.

The album's lead track, titled Fake Love, racked up the third-largest 24-hour rating on YouTube since the video-streaming channel started keeping records. Fake Love clocked 35.9 million views in a single day on YouTube. This 24-hour viewership is only outdone by Psy's Gentleman (36 million views in April 2013) and Taylor Swift's Look What You Made Me Do ( 43.2 million YouTube views).
