K-pop sensation Blackpink has achieved another monumental milestone, with their hit music video ‘Ice Cream’ officially surpassing 1 billion views on YouTube as of Wednesday, YG Entertainment confirmed on Thursday. This achievement further solidifies Blackpink’s global presence and YouTube dominance.
This incredible feat marks ‘Ice Cream’ as Blackpink’s tenth music video to cross the 1-billion-view threshold, setting an unparalleled record as the K-pop artist with the highest number of videos to reach this significant benchmark.
Released in 2020, the vibrant ‘Ice Cream’ music video, a highly anticipated collaboration featuring American pop star Selena Gomez, made a significant splash. It debuted impressively at No. 13 on Billboard’s Hot 100, marking the highest entry for a K-pop girl group at that time. ‘Ice Cream’ is a standout track from the quartet’s critically acclaimed debut full album, ‘The Album,’ which itself soared to No. 2 on both the prestigious Billboard 200 and the UK’s Official Albums Top 100 charts, showcasing Blackpink’s immense global appeal.
Adding to their current buzz, three prominent members of Blackpink—Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa—were recently spotted generating excitement at the world-renowned Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival, which continues until Sunday. Notably, Lisa also made a special appearance on stage alongside DJ-musician Anyma to deliver a captivating performance of their recent collaborative track, ‘Bad Angel,’ further highlighting the members’ individual global activities.
