BLACKPINK Becomes First Musical Act to Reach 75 Million YouTube Subscribers

The K-pop foursome released their first full-length album titled THE ALBUM via Interscope in October 2020. The project peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and spent two weeks at No. 1 on the Top Album Sales chart. BLACKPINK has landed seven songs on the Billboard Hot 100, including the top 20 hits “Ice Cream” with Selena Gomez and a pair of top 40s: “Sour Candy” with Lady Gaga and “How You Like That.”

Last week, BLACKPINK became the first musical act to reach 75 million subscribers on YouTube. The group earned the title of most-subscribed artist on the platform in September 2021, when they surpassed the 65.5 million mark and took over the lead from Justin Bieber.

BLACKPINK was featured on the cover of Billboard magazine, where they laid out their plans for a U.S. takeover.

“You don’t have to understand Korean to understand the music, the visuals, the vibe,” Jisoo told Billboard at the time. Looks like she was right.
