BLACKPINK has added another major achievement to its already impressive list of records. The 2019 release 'Kill This Love' from the group has officially hit 1 billion streams on Spotify, and it is the latest addition to the BILLIONS CLUB from the band. The record marks another instance where the group has displayed their immense popularity on the global stage through one of their chart-topping singles. The achievement quickly became a hot topic among BLINKs, who celebrated the news across social media with streaming parties, fan edits, and congratulatory posts.

Kill This Love Reaches 1 Billion Spotify Streams

Kill This Love was released in April 2019, becoming an immediate global success because of its strong chorus, cinematic sound, and memorable choreography. Yet, seven years later, this song continues to get millions of plays, having finally achieved the milestone of 1 billion streams on Spotify.

It should be noted that only a very small number of Korean pop groups have been able to get more than one song into the elite “Billions Club” on Spotify. This is yet another indicator of the enduring popularity of the song.

Another Milestone for BLACKPINK

Kill This Love being added into the Billions Club is another sign that BLACKPINK is solidifying its status as one of the biggest female groups across the globe. The band has been putting out music on streaming sites and growing through their tours and album releases.

This aside, every single member – which consists of Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa has been making waves through her own solo career. This is despite the fact that after many years, the songs of BLACKPINK still draw fans both old and new.

Fans Celebrate Across Social Media

There was no delay in celebrating the accomplishment from BLINKs. Messages of congratulations to the group began flooding through X, Instagram, and fan sites shortly after the announcement was made. The fans revisited the video in order to celebrate the milestone, and some even recalled how the song was released way back in 2019. Some also mentioned that Kill This Love is indeed one of the iconic K-pop songs of their generation.

A Song That Changed BLACKPINK's Career

Kill This Love was a major milestone in the BLACKPINK story. The single achieved first place in many countries and established itself as a signature moment for the group, introducing even more fans to K-pop.

The revolutionary idea, the sound like a marching band, and the visual element of the music video all helped it become one of BLACKPINK’s most representative songs. Even years later, its streaming numbers prove this international popularity.

BLACKPINK's Momentum Continues

This milestone for Spotify is coming when the band is busy as usual. The BLACKPINK members are occupied by their music, fashion, endorsements, and other appearances, but the fans are eagerly awaiting such activity from the band members again. These kinds of success indicate that not only their previous hits but also their present songs have become popular with newer fans. It’s just one more thing that shows how long-lasting the legacy of the group is.
