BLACKPINK Breaks the Record for the Most-Followed Female Act on Spotify

Breaking all records once again, BLACKPINK has become one of the first female groups to have taken over the 41-million followers record on Spotify, thereby making them the most-followed female Asian groups in the history of the platform. The followers of the group, known as ‘Blinks’, appear to be over the moon when this feat was announced, elevating the group to the same platform as artists like Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Adele, Billie Eilish, Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez, and Neha Kakkar, who were previously the only female artists to have garnered this many followers on Spotify. Some of their most popular songs streamed on the platform include hits like ‘How You Like That’, ‘Kill This Love’ and ‘DDU-DU DDU-DU’, among others.

Fans took to social media to congratulate the group on achieving this milestone, pouring out their heartfelt wishes and congratulations on Instagram and Twitter, with comments like “MY BLACKPINK IS SO BIG AND POPULAR 🤯” and “QUEENS FOR A REASON🔥”. In the midst of this celebration, the group is reported to have set another record for themselves, having amassed over 10 billion streams on Spotify, despite the hiatus in their group music releases, which is a first for any girl group on the platform. This stands as proof that the group has not lost any momentum since its debut in 2016, and is on its way to becoming the most successful girl group in the history of K-pop. BLACKPINK, comprising members: Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa,  was also the first K-pop group to have performed at Coachella when they took the stage in 2019.

While they had taken a break from group releases, the members Jisoo, Lisa, and Jennie have made quite a ripple with their solo projects. After releasing her solo album ‘Me’, Jisoo invested in her acting career with the K-drama ‘Snowdrop’, while Jennie is set to make her acting debut with ‘The Idol’, featuring Lily-Rose Depp and The Weeknd. Lisa on the other hand broke the record for the most viewed YouTube video by a solo artist in 24 hours with ‘LaLisa’ and also collaborated with Taeyang for his album ‘Down To Earth’.

The record for the most-followed female Asian act on Spotify had been previously held by Neha Kakkar, until recently when BLACKPINK surpassed her with 41.33 million followers. The platform has currently recorded a total of 480 million users worldwide, making global music accessible to all of them.
