 “Dynamite” was released as a single by BTS on August 21, 2020, and also included in the group’s November album “BE.” It’s been a worldwide hit, including in the United Kingdom, where it debuted at No. 3 on the Official UK singles chart in August. The song still remains on the chart, now at No. 75 as it spends its 24th week on the ranking.
