by The group BLACKPINK topped the weekly fandom chart of ‘K-POP RADAR,’ a chart show dedicated to K-pop broadcast across the United States, for three weeks in a row.
The K-Pop Radar Weekly fandom chart was released on the 16th. In contrast, the K-pop-only chart program ‘K-Pop Radar’ was regularly organized as an American radio program for the first time in K-pop history.
Among them, Blackpink’s ‘Pink Venom’ took the top spot on the K-Pop Radar Weekly fandom chart for three consecutive weeks following last week, continuing its ‘world-class movement.’
Blackpink’s ‘Pink Venom’ music video recorded 33.07 million views during the K-Pop Radar’s September 2nd week (September 2, 2022 – September 8, 2022). It can be seen that even though it is the 3rd week, it is showing a surprising upward trend. Blackpink’s Spotify followers also increased by 84,000, demonstrating fantastic potential.
In addition, during the 2nd week of September counting period of K-Pop Radar, Blackpink’s official Instagram followers increased by 208,000 and official Twitter followers by 85,000, proving their popularity. Compared to the increase of about 7,200 Instagram followers and 1,500 Twitter followers of K-pop artists during the same period, it can be seen that this is a surprising number.
K-Pop Radar said, “They have been taking the top spot for three weeks in a row among the prominent candidates.”
In the TOP 10 of the weekly fandom chart announced on ‘K-Pop Radar’ this week, BTS’ ‘Yet To Come’ came in second place and TWICE’s ‘Talk that Talk’).’ came in third place. In addition, ONEUS’s new song ‘Same Scent’ entered 7th place at the same time as the comeback.
