BLACKPINK members performing on stage

As well as smashing records during their solo careers, K-pop sensations BLACKPINK are still breaking records as a group.

As of 12 April 2023, their YouTube channel has registered 30,151,716,121 video views, making it the most viewed music channel on YouTube (group).

As of the last update back in 2018, Maroon 5 were the previous holders with just over 9 billion views.

The music video for one of their earlier singles, "뚜두뚜두 (DDU-DU DDU-DU)", has over two billion views alone.

BLACKPINK, a four-piece band from South Korea, were formed in 2016 consisting of members Rosé, Jennie, Lisa and Jisoo.

As a band, BLACKPINK still hold multiple records including the most subscribers for a band on YouTube as well as becoming the first K-pop group to reach No.1 on the UK albums chart (female) and the first K-pop group to reach No.1 on the US albums chart (female).

Just last month, they became the most streamed female group on Spotify with over 8.8 billion individual streams.
