BLACKPINK becomes first female K Pop act with multiple 1 billion stream Spotify songs

BLACKPINK has made history as the first K-Pop girl group to have more than one song reach over a billion streams on Spotify.

I’m so proud to say that BLACKPINK has officially reached over a billion streams on Spotify with both “How You Like That” and “Kill This Love”! Looking at the numbers, it’s clear they’re one of the biggest and most-listened-to K-Pop groups ever, and this just proves it!

This milestone was reached years after the songs were first released, proving their lasting popularity instead of just a quick boost in streams. ‘Kill This Love’ came out in 2019, and ‘How You Like That’ followed in 2020, marking the group’s return after a significant break.

How You Like That and Kill This Love reach new milestone

BLACKPINK first released “How You Like That” as a single in June 2020, and it was later included on their first full-length album, The Album. The song entered the Billboard Hot 100 chart at number 33, making it the group’s most successful single in the US up to that point.

Released in April 2019, “Kill This Love” was the first single from the EP of the same name. It entered the Billboard Hot 100 at number 41 and was important in helping the group gain popularity in Western countries as they were becoming globally successful.

These two songs are instantly recognizable as BLACKPINK hits and continue to be popular on streaming services even years after they were first released.

BLACKPINK, made up of Jennie, Jisoo, Rosé, and Lisa, first became famous in 2016. Since then, they’ve broken numerous records with their music, concerts, and online presence.

This K-Pop group made history as the first girl group to perform as headliners at Coachella. They’re also the most-subscribed musical artist on YouTube, and every member has successfully released solo music that’s gained international recognition.

BLACKPINK is solidifying its place as the most-streamed K-Pop girl group worldwide, with numerous songs now exceeding one billion plays on Spotify.
