According to YG Entertainment on the 16th, Lisa‘s ‘MONEY‘ Exclusive Performance Video surpassed 500 million views on YouTube at 11:28 pm yesterday. This MV reached half a billion views after 173 days since its release. This is the shortest time it took for a K-pop artist’s dance performance video to reach the same number of views.
The previous record of reaching 500 million views in the shortest time with a performance video belonged to BLACKPINK’s ‘How You Like That‘ (183 days), which has now surpassed 1 billion views. By reaching 500 million views within 10 days earlier, Lisa has once again broken her own group’s record.
This achievement is very difficult to achieve in a short time, even for a music video of a group, let alone a performance video of a solo song. Another choreography video that actually reached 500 million views is also Black Pink’s ‘How You Like That‘, so a new record streak is expected in the future.
‘MONEY‘, a b-side track in Lisa’s first solo album ‘LALISA‘, is a song that features swag-filled rap lyrics on a sophisticated hip-hop sound. The song created a trend on many SNS platforms, topping all major music charts around the world.
It reached #1 on the iTunes Top Song Charts in 38 countries, and #5 on the Spotify Global Chart, the world’s largest music streaming platform. After that, it charted in the UK Official Singles Top 100, US Billboard Hot 100, and Pop Airplay charts for 8 weeks, 2 weeks, and 3 weeks.
BLACKPINK is breaking most of the first and shortest records they have set as well as the highest rankings on various major music charts whenever a new song is released, regardless of whether it’s a group song or a solo activity of a member. BLACKPINK’s official YouTube channel, which has a total of 32 billion-view videos on YouTube, currently has more than 72.8 million subscribers, ranking first on this platform among artists around the world.
