Girl group Blackpink’s latest song “Pink Venom” topped music streaming platform Spotify’s Global Top Songs chart two days in a row, a first for a K-pop artist.
According to YG Entertainment on Monday, “Pink Venom” hit 6,710,743 streams on Sunday and 7,937,036 on Saturday.
“While it showed a slight decline compared to the first day, ‘Pink Venom’ has nonetheless been streamed more than any song released by a female artist this year,” said YG. “Blackpink is the first K-pop artist to take the No. 1 spot on this chart for two consecutive days.”
The number of streams on Spotify is also reflected on Billboard’s Hot 100 singles chart.
“Pink Venom,” a pre-release track from Blackpink’s upcoming second full-length album “Born Pink,” dropped on Aug. 19. Upon release, it topped the iTunes Top Songs chart in 74 nations including the United States and Britain.
