BLACKPINK is reaffirming their status as a powerhouse in global music. The K-pop girl group has made history as the first female group to achieve over 15 billion streams on Spotify across all credits. This monumental achievement is even more remarkable considering their limited musical output in recent years.
This milestone becomes particularly noteworthy when you consider that BLACKPINK accomplished it with just one new single released in almost three years: the digital track JUMP. The song, which received minimal promotion, unexpectedly gained traction and became a viral sensation, especially following its performances during the group’s DEADLINE World Tour.
Despite their hiatus from active promotions, the group’s complete discography has seen a notable increase in streaming figures. Fans, both old and new, are rediscovering their timeless classics, leading to a renewed surge in attention worldwide.

BLACKPINK surpasses KATSEYE
In yet another significant achievement, BLACKPINK has regained the title of the girl group with the highest monthly listeners on Spotify. They recently overtook HYBE’s rookie group KATSEYE, garnering over 27 million monthly listeners. This accomplishment highlights their lasting appeal and diverse fan base.
The group’s personal best stands at 34,123,272 monthly listeners. With the ongoing success of JUMP and buzz around a potential new album, there’s strong anticipation they may surpass their previous record soon.

In a music landscape often characterized by rapid releases and fleeting popularity, BLACKPINK’s JUMP has demonstrated impressive staying power, consistently remaining in Spotify’s Global Top 10 charts. It has outlasted many recent tracks that briefly charted before falling away.
This ability to maintain their presence amid fierce competition underscores the strength of BLACKPINK’s brand and the loyalty of their dedicated fanbase, known as BLINKs.
Looking Ahead: What’s Next for BLACKPINK?
As fans celebrate this incredible streaming milestone, excitement grows for their next steps. Congratulations are pouring in as BLACKPINK sets new records and continues to showcase their enduring reign in the industry.
Currently, the group is captivating global audiences with their ongoing DEADLINE World Tour. With strong rumors circulating about a future album, many are optimistic that BLACKPINK will usher in an exciting new chapter in their careers soon.
