BLACKPINK

BLACKPINK made history as the first K-pop girl group to headline Coachella in 2019 and achieved 1 billion YouTube views on Ddu-Du Ddu-Du faster than any other female K-pop act. Their 2023 Born Pink world tour grossed over $350 million across 66 shows, setting the record for highest-grossing tour by a female group—a figure that is 1.8 times higher than the typical rival girl group's earnings. With over 93 million YouTube subscribers, they are the most-subscribed music act on the platform, and their album Born Pink debuted at No. 1 in 26 countries. While BTS leads in album sales volume, BLACKPINK excels in digital engagement and global streaming consistency, averaging 20 million daily Spotify streams—30% more than #2 BTS's average.
