All-female K-Pop group Blackpink has set a new record for the fastest music video to reach 100 million views on YouTube.
The popular South Korean group’s latest video “Kill This Love” took just two days and 14 hours to surpass 100 million hits, according to the group’s management company, YG Entertainment.
Published at midnight on Friday, the music video received over 10 million views in just four hours and 13 minutes.
In its first 24 hours, the video earned 56.7 million views on YouTube, surpassing Ariana Grande’s “Thank You, Next”, which got 56.4 million hits 24 hours after being released on Nov. 30, Billboard reports.
It then eventually set the record of exceeding 100 million hits at around 2 p.m. on Sunday.
I’ve always been congratulating BLACKPINK, so i’m gonna congratulate BLINKs big time.
Congrats fam. I’m so proud of us. Our hardwork pays off well. During the comeback time we’ve only focused on BLACKPINK and BLACKPINK, minding our own businesses. We deserve this record ✊
