The 700-million-hit of “MIC Drop” was achieved by BTS two years and eight months after the release.
The Steve Aoki remix of “MIC Drop” was released by BTS under Big Hit Entertainment in November 2017. The music video shows the septet, RM, J-hope, Suga, Jin, Jimin, V, and Jungkook’s swag fierce as they dance and sings in the thumping beats of “MIC Drop.”
“MIC Drop’s” success joins BTS’ other music videos to hit the 700-million mark and is fifth on rank. Other BTS tracks that went on to achieve the massive success before “MIC Drop” are “Boy With Luv,” that features American singer Halsey, “DNA,” “Fake Love,” “IDOL,” and “FIRE.”
According to Hellokpop, the “MIC Drop” track has received recognition from different music organizations since its release. It has also topped the Billboard Hot 100 charts that led the song to be awarded a platinum certification from RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America). Moreover, the record-breaking track stayed in their throne for ten succeeding weeks.
The remix version of “MIC Drop” is a part of the K-pop band’s 2017 “LOVE YOURSELF: Her” album release. The ARMYs are praising the hit track until today because of their eccentric and swag-full vibe that best blends with their impressive choreography and vocals. The iconic mic drop stance at the end adds up to the video’s singularity.
