BLACKPINK now has two songs that have topped Spotify’s Global Chart
BLACKPINK is making new records every day and we are here to report it all to the BLINKs. After their latest title track Shut Down made a stunning debut on Spotify’s Global Chart at number one, we are here to announce that their fiery pre-release single Pink Venom had previously topped the aforementioned chart.
It was also the first Korean-language song to reach the top of Spotify's Global 50 chart. BTS' debut English song, Dynamite, had previously topped the charts. Additionally, BLACKPINK is now the first female group ever in the history of any country to hit number one on Spotify’s Global Top Songs chart.
BLINKs will be pleased to learn that Shut Down is extremely popular in the United Kingdom, Canada and member Lisa’s home-country Thailand. Not only that, their second record BORN PINK has also set an equally impressive record on Spotify and finished its first day on the platform with over 33.1 million filtered streams.
The talented four-member girl group has now earned the biggest first-day debut streams of an album by a girl group in history, surpassing their 2020 album THE ALBUM.
The group’s second album also topped iTunes Top Albums in 54 countries including the United States and United Kingdom. Not only that, it took the number one spot on Apple Music in 60 countries and received tremendous success on domestic music charts like melON, bugs and genie.
BLINKs took to social media to react to this achievement. “Biggest girl-group on the planet”, they said and we are in full agreement.
