In a remarkable display of their global influence, BLACKPINK, the South Korean girl group, has once again made headlines by breaking their own Spotify record. Their latest album, "Born Pink," has amassed over 2 billion streams on the platform in a mere 11 months, setting a new benchmark as the fastest studio album by an all-female group to achieve this feat.
Previously, this record was held by BLACKPINK's debut album, "The Album," which took 17 months to cross the 2 billion streams mark on Spotify. This achievement further cements BLACKPINK's position at the pinnacle of the music industry, demonstrating their unwavering appeal to fans worldwide.
The "Born Pink" album, which boasts tracks like "Pink Venom," "Shut Down," and "Yeah Yeah Yeah," has been a massive hit since its release. To promote the album, BLACKPINK embarked on their second world tour, also named "Born Pink." The tour, which began in Seoul in October 2022, saw the group performing in various cities across North America, Europe, Oceania, and Asia. The tour will culminate with finale concerts at the Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on September 16 and 17, marking the end of their sold-out global journey that started at the KSPO Dome in Seoul in October 2022.
Apart from their music, BLACKPINK has been active in other ventures as well. Recently, they released an OST for their mobile game, "BLACKPINK The Game." The track, which highlights the group's signature rap and vocal harmonies, credits members Jennie and Rosé alongside renowned artists Ryan Tedder and Danny Chung. To commemorate the release of "The Girls," the song from the OST, BLACKPINK hosted a celebration party both within the game and on YG Entertainment's YouTube channel. Fans also had the opportunity to purchase digital and limited edition versions of the "The Girls" album via BLACKPINK's store on Weverse Shop.
BLACKPINK's continued success is a testament to their talent, dedication, and the immense love they receive from their fans, known as BLINKs. As they continue to break records and set new standards in the music industry, the world eagerly awaits their next move. Whether it's through their music, tours, or other ventures, BLACKPINK's impact on the global stage is undeniable.
