BTS on Thursday celebrated a new achievement – the video for its track “Idol” became the fastest to top 100 million views this year.

The video, posted on Aug. 24, already beat Taylor Swift’s “Look What You Made Me Do” for the most views in the first 24 hours on YouTube.

“Idol” comes from Love Yourself: Answer, the final album in a trilogy. BTS recently kicked off their Love Yourself world tour, which plays Hamilton, Ont. on Sept. 20, 22 and 23.
