Hey there, fellow music enthusiasts! Get ready to be wowed because BLACKPINK, the South Korean sensation, is on fire in 2023, breaking records left, right, and center. From chart-toppers to global accolades, they’ve got it all. Let’s dive into the glittering world of BLACKPINK as we unveil the five records they’ve shattered this year.
1. Lisa’s Triple Crown in Guinness World Records (Jan. 24, 2023): Lisa, one-fourth of the BLACKPINK powerhouse, made jaws drop as she clinched not one, not two, but three Guinness World Records! We’re talking about “Most Instagram Followers for a K-pop Artist” (a whopping 86.3 million as of Jan. 19, 2023), “First Solo K-pop Winner at the MTV Video Music Awards,” and “First Solo K-pop Winner at the MTV Europe Music Awards.” Whoa, Lisa, slow down! Nah, just kidding; keep those records coming!
2. First Asian Act to Headline Coachella (April 15 and 22, 2023): BLACKPINK made history once again by headlining Coachella, making them the first Asian act to do so. Remember, this is the same group that conquered the Coachella stage four years ago, proving they are a force to be reckoned with. The ladies shared their excitement on Instagram, thanking their beloved BLINKs for making this dream a reality. So, what’s next? Mars, perhaps?
3. Most-Viewed Group Music Channel on YouTube (Apr 14, 2023): Move over, Maroon 5, because BLACKPINK just claimed your throne! On April 14, BLACKPINK proudly snagged the title for the “Most-Viewed Music Channel on YouTube (Group).” They racked up an astonishing 30,151,716,121 video views as of April 12. This isn’t their first YouTube rodeo; earlier this year, “DDU-DU DDU-DU” became the first K-pop group music video to surpass 2 billion views. Plus, they’ve got 10 full-group music videos in the 600-million-views club. Phew, that’s a lot of clicking!
4. MTV VMAs 2023: Group of the Year (Sep 13, 2023): In a heartwarming turn of events, BLACKPINK secured the coveted “Group of the Year” award at the 2023 MTV VMAs. Now, you might be wondering, “Wait, weren’t they absent from the ceremony?” Yep, they were! But that didn’t stop BLINKs from throwing a virtual party to celebrate their idols’ win. This victory marks a monumental moment, as BLACKPINK becomes the first girl group since TLC to bag this prestigious award. Talk about a slam dunk!
5. Streaming Domination with BORN PINK and THE ALBUM: BLACKPINK’s recent albums, “BORN PINK” and “THE ALBUM,” are music history in the making. Together, they’ve clocked over 2 billion Spotify streams worldwide! Not only did they break records for being the fastest albums released by a girl group to hit this milestone, but “THE ALBUM” also became the first K-pop girl group album to amass 2 billion listens on Spotify within a mere 17 months of its release. That’s some serious ear candy!
Conclusion: BLACKPINK isn’t just a K-pop sensation; they’re a global phenomenon rewriting the music industry’s rulebook. From Lisa’s solo conquests to conquering Coachella and YouTube, these ladies are unstoppable. And let’s not forget their incredible streaming achievements! As we bask in their glory, one thing’s for sure: BLACKPINK’s star is shining brighter than ever, and we can’t wait to see what other records they’ll break in the years to come.
