BLACKPINK, the ever-influential K-pop girl group, is breaking record after record with each passing day. The group has now bagged yet another incredible and historical achievement of their career, also the first of its kind. On September 14, 2023, the group became the first and only musical artist in history to exceed the milestone of 33 billion views on YouTube.
No musical artist has ever achieved this feat, leaving the group’s fans beaming with utmost pride. This news came just a day after the group won the prestigious "Group of the Year" award at the VMAs, surpassing even the international icons.
Within only a decade—seven years, to be precise—the girl group BLACKPINK, who began their official YouTube journey on June 29, 2016, achieved an unprecedented milestone. This feat marks their achievement in general concerning the global music industry, not just the artists within the K-Pop landscape.

No other artist in the world has ever stepped foot on this milestone, making it one of the biggest achievements ever for the group.
BLACKPINK was able to reach this milestone by leaving behind some massive names in the music industry. These are some of the household names whose music is a habitual practice for people of all ages.

Here's how BLINKs reacted to this legendary landmark:
Not only as a group, but every individual in this group is equally popular and influential as well. Lalisa has one of the most celebrated solo music careers while being a global ambassador for brands like Bvlgari, Saint Laurent, and CELINE.
