[Billboard] Most Viewed K-Pop Videos in America & Around the World: June 2015

Most Viewed K-Pop Videos in America & Around the World: June 2015
It was a close YouTube battle of two of the largest international K-pop acts when BIGBANG and EXO released new music videos within hours of each other last month. But in the end, the YG Entertainment quintet snagged the most views on YouTube for June 2015.


"Bang Bang Bang" dropped on June 1 and wound up the most-viewed K-pop video both in America and around the world for the month, beating out EXO's "Love Me Right" (released June 2, and is at No. 2 on both rankings) along with BIGBANG's own "We Like 2 Party" vid (released on June 4, and is at No. 3 on both lists). BIGBANG topping both lists means SM Entertainment ends its remarkable, five-month streak at No. 1 atop the U.S.-focused chart provided by YouTube each month. 


Girl groups AOA and Sistar's new videos dropped on the same day, but AOA wound up outcharting Sistar both on the Stateside and the international list.
