K-pop superstar BlackPink commands fourth largest YouTube fans.
The subscribers to the girl group¡¯s official YouTube channel surpassed 44 million as of 9 a.m. on August 16 (local time in Korea), YG Entertainment announced on Monday.
It has only three names – Justin Bieber, DJ Marshmello, and Ed Sheeran - ahead. The group already is the most-subscribed female artist on YouTube.
The feat comes less than a month after the quartet elbowed out Ariana Grande to become fifth most-subscribed on the global video streaming platform.
BlackPink¡¯s YouTube channel has been gaining 100,000 subscribers a day, on average, since the girl group released new single ¡°How You Like That¡± on June 26. The view on ¡°How You Like That¡± video breached 100 million in just 32 hours of official release and broke the previous record set by K-pop boy group BTS with ¡°Boy With Luv¡± in April 2019.
