Not knowing about BTS only means you might have been living under a rock. Well, it seems Alka Yagnik is unconcerned about their popularity. The singer defeated the South-Korean boy band, BLACKPINK, and Taylor Swift on YouTube and emerged as the most internationally watched artist on YouTube in 2022 with a stunning 15.3 billion streams with an average of 42 million streams daily, as recognized by the Guinness World Record.
Speaking to Radio Nasha, Alka Yagnik told that she was unconcerned by the statistics and figures because she did not fully grasp the gravity of the whole affair. According to Alka Yagnik, her daughter was the one who broke down what it meant. ALSO READ | Alka Yagnik Creates History!

Syesha, her daughter, highlighted how significant it was that her mother had outdone the popular K-pop group known throughout the world. But, the singer had no clue who BTS was.
Alka said, "I asked Syesha, ‘who is BTS?". She said that her daughter had a good laugh at her question. “She was rolling on the phone. She said Mom you are just too much," Alka
added.
She informed her mother of the meteoric rise in her digital presence while the singer said, good, good, great,” being totally cool about it. Yagnik also went on to say that her daughter was completely taken aback by her mild response.
During the conversation, Alka revealed that she doesn’t give a hoot about the numbers as far as the fans are happy with her work.
She said, "Mere liye jyada stream ho raha hai, kam stream ho raha hai, it doesn’t matter (How much streams I have gained, be it more or less doesn’t matter) People who are listening, they’re happy, they’re loving me, they’re liking me, and they’ve accepted me with open arms for so many years. For me, that’s in itself a big thing."
“Ye to numbers hai, abhi ye number 1 hai, abhi ye number 2 hojaayega (These are numbers, today it is number 1, tomorrow it might be number 2). These are just numbers,” she added.
"I was happy. But when she made me realize the magnitude of the whole thing, I was very happy. I was very grateful to god. I really feel blessed," she concluded. ALSO READ | Dance Deewane 3: Legends Alka Yagnik And Kumar Sanu Grace The Show, Contestants Leave Them Floored With Their Special Acts
