New record confirmed by Lisa (BLACKPINK), ‘Money’ performance video hits 500 million views on YouTube
BLACKPINK Lisa broke another record on YouTube with her hit “Money”.
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.
