BLACKPINK's Lisa's solo album, 'MONEY', once again set a meaningful new record on Spotify, the world's largest music streaming platform.
According to YG Entertainment on the 19th, Lisa's 'MONEY' surpassed 500 million streams on Spotify. It has been about 313 days since it was released on September 10th, which is the shortest period among K-pop solo artists that reached the same number of streams.
With this, Lisa became an artist with a total of 4 songs streamed over 500 million times on Spotify. Blackpink's songs 'How You Like That', 'Kill This Love', and 'DDU-DU DDU-DU', which she belongs to, have previously surpassed 500 million streams.
Lisa's 'MONEY' was a song on the album without a music video, but it was as popular as the title song 'LALISA'. A month after the release of the soundtrack, it caused an unusual sensation of coming back to major charts around the world.
It reached the top of the iTunes Top Songs chart in 38 countries, and reached 5th place on the Spotify global chart. After that, the song also charted in the UK Official Singles Top 100, US Billboard Hot 100, and Pop Airplay charts for 8 weeks, 2 weeks, and 3 weeks, respectively, winning the title of 'The First K-Pop Female Solo'.
Meanwhile, Blackpink is preparing for a comeback with a full group in August. In addition, it is gathering hot expectations from fans around the world by foretelling sequential large-scale projects, including the largest world tour in K-pop history.
