As of April 12, the YouTube channel had garnered 30.15 billion views to achieve the world record. It has 86.6 million subscribers as of April 14.
“As of the last update back in 2018, Maroon 5 were the previous holders with just over 9 billion views,” Guinness stated.
Of the videos on BLACKPINK’s YouTube channel, their music video for "뚜두뚜두 (DDU-DU DDU-DU)" has over two billion views.
“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),” Guinness added.
BLACKPINK set a record last month for “the most streamed female group on Spotify with over 8.8 billion individual streams.”
“Also, the quartet have previously held Guinness World Records titles for the most viewed music video in 24 hours and most viewed YouTube video in 24 hours, however these records are now held by fellow K-pop band BTS for their single ‘Dynamite,’” according to Guinness.
