The music video for \u201cHooligan,\u201d a track from BTS\u2019 fifth studio album \u201cARIRANG,\u201d surpassed 100 million YouTube views at around 6:40 a.m. Wednesday, according to the group\u2019s agency, BigHit Music, a label under HYBE.<\/p>\n
It is the third music video from the album to reach the milestone, following those for lead single \u201cSwim\u201d and \u201c2.0.\u201d The album, named after a traditional Korean folk song widely regarded as the country\u2019s unofficial national anthem, was released March 20. The \u201cHooligan\u201d video was unveiled April 8 on the HYBE LABELS YouTube channel.<\/p>\n
The video contrasts a moss-covered gray space with vivid red sets. The seven members, in black outerwear and sporting tooth gems, perform a hard-hitting synchronized dance with a large group of backup dancers.<\/p>\n
\u201cHooligan\u201d serves as the opening number of the group\u2019s \u201cARIRANG\u201d world tour. The alternative hip-hop track reflects on BTS\u2019 journey of carving out its own path around the world. Its intro layers the sound of clashing blades over sweeping strings, and the song pairs a blade-based rhythm with deep 808 bass, a booming low-end sound from the Roland TR-808 drum machine.<\/p>\n
The song debuted at No. 35 on the Billboard Hot 100, the main U.S. singles chart, dated April 4, and stayed there four weeks.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, \u201cARIRANG\u201d held at No. 43 on the Billboard 200, the main U.S. albums chart, for a second straight week on the chart dated Oct. 17, released Tuesday. The album has stayed on the chart for 29 consecutive weeks since debuting at No. 1 on the chart dated April 4.<\/p>\n
\u201cSwim\u201d ranked No. 27 on the Billboard Global 200 and No. 8 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart.<\/p>\n
Debuting in 2013, BTS became the first Korean pop act nominated for a Grammy, at the 63rd Grammy Awards, and won artist of the year at the 2021 American Music Awards.<\/p>\n
