BLACKPINK has achieved another major milestone on YouTube as their hit track "Pink Venom" officially surpassed 1 billion views on the platform. The music video reached this impressive viewership benchmark at exactly 12:52 a.m. on Monday, according to an announcement from YG Entertainment, the group's management agency.
This achievement comes approximately three years after "Pink Venom" was initially released in August 2022 as part of BLACKPINK's highly anticipated second full-length studio album. The song quickly became a fan favorite and showcased the quartet's signature blend of fierce vocals and dynamic choreography that has made them global superstars.
With "Pink Venom" joining the billion-view club, BLACKPINK now boasts an impressive collection of nine music videos that have each garnered more than 1 billion views on YouTube. This puts them in an elite category of artists who have consistently achieved such massive viewership numbers across multiple releases. Among their most-watched videos, "Ddu-du Ddu-du" leads the pack with an astounding 2.3 billion views, while "Kill This Love" follows closely behind with 2.1 billion views.
The South Korean girl group's YouTube success extends far beyond just their billion-view videos. BLACKPINK has accumulated a remarkable total of 50 YouTube videos that have surpassed 100 million views each, demonstrating their consistent ability to create content that resonates with audiences worldwide. The cumulative views across their official YouTube channel have reached an staggering 39.5 billion, highlighting the global reach and popularity of their music and content.
Perhaps even more impressive is BLACKPINK's subscriber count on YouTube, which currently stands at 98.2 million subscribers. This massive following has earned them the distinction of being the most subscribed artist channel in the world, surpassing numerous established international acts and cementing their status as global entertainment icons.
The timing of this milestone coincides with BLACKPINK's current world tour activities. The group is presently traveling across the globe for their new world tour titled "Deadline," which represents one of their most ambitious touring endeavors to date. The extensive tour schedule includes 31 individual shows spanning across 16 major cities worldwide, allowing fans from different continents to experience BLACKPINK's electrifying live performances.
This latest achievement further solidifies BLACKPINK's position as one of the most influential K-pop acts in the international music scene. The group, consisting of members Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa, has consistently broken barriers and set new records since their debut, helping to bring Korean pop music to mainstream global audiences. Their success on YouTube reflects not only their musical talent but also their ability to create visually stunning music videos that captivate viewers and encourage repeated viewing.
The "Pink Venom" music video, like many of BLACKPINK's productions, features high-quality cinematography, elaborate sets, and the members' signature fashion-forward styling that has become synonymous with the group's brand. These elements, combined with the song's catchy melody and powerful performance, have contributed to its sustained popularity and eventual achievement of the 1 billion view milestone.
