A record-breaking YouTube legacy
This isn't the group’s first YouTube triumph. Back in July 2020, they became the first non-English-language act to enter the platform’s top five by subscribers. By September 2021, they had surpassed global superstars like Ariana Grande, Eminem, Ed Sheeran, Marshmello, and Justin Bieber to claim the No. 1 spot worldwide, a position they still hold.
