Boy with Luv is the 2nd biggest idol song of 3rd gen.

Why?

Let's look at it from multiple angles.

In addition:

21 music show wins (2nd highest of the 21st century and 4th highest of all-time)

1.2 billion+ music video views on YouTube

638M+ Spotify streams

2nd longest charting Korean song on Japan Hot 100

Certified RIAJ Gold for Streaming in Japan

SOTY at MMA, MAMA, and GDA

She's got the impact and the numerical success. Who's touching her?

In conclusion: No, I will not shut up about BWL. She frequently gets ignored when people wanna talk about the biggest hits.

No one

I can think of only one other idol song that will outperform it in the long run.

Quote from Elf_lover

I liked this song and Halsey’s voice just topped it off. A successful combo.

Thank you for the nice comment. It was a home run kind of song.

This song is like an instant happiness boost for me.

Quote from BlackpinkHouse

Dynamite will never catch up to her, BWL will end up to be BTS most popular song for sure.

Dynamite is less than a year old and is going to pass BWL on YT in a matter of months and is already closing in on 1 billion digital points on Gaon.

So you're wrong.

Quote from azhra-0110

Bwl should have been their first bb #1 not dynamite tbh.

I will always agree with this, but Sucker by Jonas Bros and especially OTR by Lil Nas X were fucking huge at the time it came out.

Quote from babyjinx1221

without a doubt.

dyna is the first?

Yes. Its international stats are far bigger than any other song, and its Korean stats are just extra padding at this point lol

Quote from azhra-0110

I don't know who says it is not one of the biggest songs tho? I have personally never seen it lol

In answer to this, I've seen it said way too many times that:

• it didn't deserve SOTY
• its success is mostly-fandom driven
• it's not one of the biggest national hits

Quote from worldlove27

Sucker wasn't the song it was against when it came out. Old Town Road was holding firmly at #1 for its 2nd week and went on to hold it for the record breaking longest song to hold number 1

Ohh, all I remember about that time was Sucker. I didn't even hear about OTR until it was much later into its chart run.

Quote from omnimorphism

I thought Dynamite was bigger. Maybe not yet.

Or is it the first? Or is the first Spring Day?

Dynamite is the biggest overall (South Korea + internationally).

In South Korea, Spring Day still reigns and probably will for a LONG time.

Anyway receipts
