BTS has once again demonstrated their unrivalled worldwide reach. The legendary group's first official live CD, Permission To Dance On Stage, was released on July 18. The album received 14.5 million Spotify plays in a single day. It became the largest live album premiere in the history of the site.

BTS broke Beyonce's record


Notably, Beyoncé's live album Homecoming, which debuted with 8.8 million listens, was the previous record that the group broke.



For fans, the release was a unique present. It gathers some of the most impactful performances by BTS from their Permission To Dance On Stage world tour in 2021–2022. The CD has 22 tracks, including energetic live renditions of popular songs, including "Life Goes On," "Butter," and "Dynamite." Every performance embodies the distinct passion and energy that have made BTS a global household name.

BTS also released a digital concert special called Permission To Dance On Stage – Seoul in addition to the audio experience. Performance video from their March 13, 2022, performance at Seoul Olympic Stadium is included in this companion release. On stage, the group members—RM, Jin, SUGA, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook—shine. It provides fans with a close-up view of one of their most memorable domestic performances.

A 92-page photobook full with unique behind-the-scenes photos, introspective essays, and interviews adds even more particular touches to the package. The material gives viewers a better understanding of the planning and feelings that went into making such a large-scale production. For seasoned ARMYs, it provides a sentimental journey down memory lane.

All about their upcoming album 

The live album's release date couldn't be more significant. After finishing their separate military enlistments earlier this month, the seven members of BTS reunited on-screen. They made an unexpected appearance together in a Weverse broadcast on July 1st, sitting close to one another on a couch and engaging in lighthearted conversation with followers.

In addition to exciting news, their reunion sent a shockwave of emotion through the fandom. According to BTS, they are getting ready to release a brand-new album in the spring of 2026. In addition, they disclosed intentions for a full-scale global tour.

Anticipation for what looks to be a huge comeback to the international scene was rekindled by the news. One thing is certain while ARMY awaits their formal comeback: BTS' influence is just growing stronger.
