Blackpink finally enters Spotify's Billions Club
Blackpink has achieved a historic milestone by joining Spotify's prestigious Billions Club, an exclusive group that includes renowned pop icons such as Taylor Swift and Justin Timberlake. The popular K-pop girl group reached this milestone after their hit single "How You Like That", released in 2020, amassed over one billion streams on Spotify this week. With this accomplishment, Blackpink becomes the first and only K-pop girl group to achieve such a feat to date.
Comprising four K-pop idols - Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa - Blackpink has earned the title of the "biggest girl group in the world" due to their immense popularity on a global scale. Their latest achievement on Spotify solidifies their status, with "How You Like That" becoming the first song by a female K-pop group and the first Korean song without collaboration by a K-pop act to surpass 1 billion streams on the platform.

With their 2020 hit, Blackpink has joined another K-pop and global sensation, BTS, who have two tracks, "Dynamite" and "Butter", listed in the Billions Club on Spotify.
