BLACKPINK’s Lisa Breaks Guinness World Record With "Money

Lisa is no stranger to breaking records — either with the members of her girl band BLACKPINK or solo. Now, the rapper adds new Guinness World Record to her list of achievements, thanks to her track “Money” hitting 1 billion streams on Spotify, the organization confirmed Wednesday.

According to Guinness, “Money” earned Lisa the title of having the first K-pop track by a solo artist to reach 1 billion streams on Spotify. 

The song — released as the second track from her 2021 solo EP Lalisa — reached approximately 1,002,683,408 streams as of September 21. 

With the new Guinness World Record, Lisa has a total of four solo achievements through the organization. 

Earlier this year, the “Lalisa” rapper earned solo placements after becoming the first solo K-pop winner at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2022. 

She also became the first solo K-pop winner at 2022’s MTV Europe Music Awards, after being nominated twice in the category due to a nod alongside BLACKPINK.

The third record Lisa earned in 2023 came from her social media following — she sits as having the most followers for a K-pop artist on Instagram, with a then total of 86.3 million Blinks eagerly waiting for her updates on the social media platform. 

Since January, that total has skyrocketed to a total of 97.3 million followers on Instagram.

With BLACKPINK, Lisa also holds world record titles for having the most subscribers for a band on YouTube (April 22, 2021) and for being the most streamed female group on Spotify (March 3, 2023), the first K-pop group to reach No. 1 on the Official U.K. Albums chart (female) (Sept. 29, 2022) and the first K-pop group to reach No. 1 on the Billboard 200 (female) (Oct. 1, 2022), both with the group’s album, Born Pink.
