Blackpink's 'Boombayah' Music Video Passes 1.9 Billion YouTube Views

Three videos now past the same mark

"Boombayah" becomes the third Blackpink music video to pass 1.9 billion views, joining "Ddu-Du Ddu-Du" and "Kill This Love." The track was released in August 2016 as one of two songs on the group's first single album, "Square One," which effectively launched its career. [1]

A debut track that keeps finding new viewers

That a video from the group's very first release still draws this level of traffic a decade later points to a catalog with unusual staying power. Most debut singles fade in relevance once an act builds a deeper discography; here, the opening track keeps pace with releases that came years afterward. [1]

Chart history that followed the debut

The quartet went on to release two studio albums: "The Album" reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200, while "Born Pink" topped both the Billboard 200 and the UK Official Albums Top 100, a first for a K-pop girl group on each chart. [1]

Members staying active on their own

The milestone lands as the members keep up individual releases: Rosé, Lisa and Jisoo each put out a solo single in September, and Jennie released the solo digital EP "Fallen Angel" the month before. [1]

A career already marked by award recognition

Blackpink's broader record includes recognition such as Best Group at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards and a Best Digital Song (Bonsang) win for "Jump" at the 2026 Golden Disc Awards, underscoring how the group's catalog, old and new, continues to draw attention from both audiences and award bodies.
