Earlier this year, BLACKPINK also became the first K-pop group to hit over 2billion views view for a music video on YouTube with ‘DDU-DU DDU-DU’. The video is also the second most-viewed K-pop music video ever, coming behind Psy‘s viral 2012 hit ‘Gangnam Style’, which has 4.6billion views.

Meanwhile, member Lisa holds the record as the most-followed K-pop artist on Instagram with 89.6million followers at the time of writing. Her fellow bandmates occupy the remaining top four spots with over 60million followers each.

Last year, BLACKPINK scored the third most-streamed K-pop songs on Spotify with ‘Pink Venom’, a single from their sophomore full-length studio album ‘Born Pink’. Meanwhile, Lisa’s solo release ‘Money’ came in at number four.
