BLACKPINK‘s talent has hit the global market.
The new song “Sour candy“, in which the girls group BLACKPINK collaborated with pop star Lady Gaga, breaks the world record for female artists.
“Sour candy” placed second on the Spotify world charts with 6.2 million streams on the morning of May 31st after its surprise release at 8 pm on the 28th (Korean time). This is the highest record among songs by girl groups in the history of Spotify. Spotify is a global music site in the United States that represents part of the score on the “Billboard Hot 100” ranking, enjoying a higher status than the iTunes ranking, which was often used to assess the worldwide popularity of K-pop.
In addition, the record for “Sour candy” is higher than the last title on Lady Gaga’s full album, “Rain on me“, and is now capable of realizing the world power of BLACKPINK.
“Sour candy” is also very active on YouTube. “The long-awaited collaboration song “Sour candy” between Lady Gaga and BLACKPINK set a new streaming record with its first appearance,” Forbes reported on May 29th (local time).
“Sour candy” broke the record for female artists with approximately 21.8 million views within 24 hours of its release.”
According to Forbes, it’s more than the record set by Ariana Grande, Miley Cyrus and Lana Del Rey with “Don’t call me angel“.
Forbes praised their achievements, noting that the record for “Sour candy” came from audio video. At this point, it is very unfortunate that there is no video clip or related video of “Sour candy“.
BLACKPINK now plans to win The Global Music Market with their songs without collaboration.
