First Kpop Artist to win on Spotify Weekly Chart
Blackpink will try to top the weekly Spotify chart with the title song "Shut Down" included in the group's full album vol.2.
On the 22nd (US time), the song "Shut Down" by Blackpink took the No.1 on the Spotify Daily Top Songs chart with 5 million 4.55 streams. Following the song announced before Pink Venom, this is the first K-pop song to reach No.1 for 3 consecutive days.
Blackpink is considered the first K-pop artist to reach No.1 on the Spotify Global Weekly chart. Previously, Blackpink once entered the top 10 with the songs Pink Venom (2nd place), How You Like That (4th place), Ice Cream (5th place), Kill This Love (5th place), and Lovesick Girls (6th place).
Spotify is the world's largest music streaming platform with more than 400 million users in 184 countries, helping Blackpink feel a global influence. The public is focusing their expectations on their achievements on two major pop market charts such as Billboard in the US and Official in the UK.
Blackpink is showing strong potential with the album vol.2 Born Pink. He has taken #1 on the iTunes album chart in 60 countries, including the US and UK, and climbed to #1 in 64 countries on the album chart as well as on the album chart by Apple Music. With sales of over 2.14 million copies (based on charts), the album became the first best-selling album by a K-pop girl group.
With this spirit, Blackpink will open the world tour at KSPO Dome, Olympic park, Seoul, on October 15 and 16. The K-pop girl group is expected to attract a total of 1.5 million spectators to North America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania.
