BLACKPINK’s LISA has shown her potential as a “YouTube queen”.
According to YG Entertainment on April 7, the music video for LISA’s solo album title track “LALISA” surpassed 600 million views on YouTube at 1:30 a.m. that day. It’s been about a year and seven months since its release on September 10, 2021. It’s the fastest music video by a female solo K-pop artist to reach this number of views, and the previous record shortest in this area was Jennie’s “Solo” (794 days).
LISA’s “Lalisa” music video was officially registered in Guinness with 73.6 million views within 24 hours of its release. Since then, it has reached 100 million views in two days, 200 million views in 13 days, 300 million views in 48 days, 400 million views in 121 days and 500 million views in 289 days, continuing its new march record.
Additionally, the album “MONEY” Exclusive Performance Video surpassed 800 million views on YouTube at 7:10 a.m. on the same day, approximately one year and seven months after its release. Even though it was a solo performance video, not an official music video, BLACKPINK reached the 800 million-view line for the 11th time in their career thanks to the continued love from fans of the whole world.
A month after its release, the song caused an unusual stir as it rocked major charts around the world, topping the iTunes Top Song charts in 66 countries. She also charted on the UK Top 100, US Billboard Hot 100 and Pop Airplay charts for 8 weeks, 2 weeks and 3 weeks in a row, earning the title “K-pop Women’s Solo First”.
BLACKPINK, to which LISA belongs, organizes the world’s largest K-pop girl group tour, “BLACKPINK WORLD TOUR [BORN PINK]“, which attracts around 1.5 million people. The four members, who successfully completed their 14th seven-city North American tour and 10th seven-city European tour last year, are heading to Asia to meet more fans. Additionally, the group will be on stage as headliners at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in the US in April and the Hyde Park British Summer Time Festival in the UK in July.
