GOAL: Radio 500 Spins A radio spin is the number of times a track is played on the radio. Although “Boy With Luv” reached 900 spins, they put the goal for “Dynamite” at 500 because radio was not something that fans could control. However, they beat their own record and reached 1,700 spins on release day. This is almost double their previous record!We're still dancing 🕺 💜 Congratulations to @bts_twt for shattering all of the records 🎉 101.1 MILLION views in 24 hours on #Dynamite_BTS! → https://t.co/FmTa7ofkap pic.twitter.com/wi5lEf1Ic1
