The Battle for Most Views: Blackpink vs. BTS
Both K-pop powerhouses, Blackpink and BTS, dominate the charts with their music videos (MV). Fans and critics alike often debate which group has the most impressive view numbers. In this article, we'll explore the current state of their popularity, with a specific focus on their most viewed MVs.
Blackpink: Do Kim, Jung Ho-yeon, Lisa, and Jennie’s Chart-topping Success
Blackpink, known for their powerful performances and catchy music, is not new to making history. Their MV, "Love Sith Girl," has garnered an impressive 460 million views in merely nine months. This accomplishment underscores the group's immense and widespread appeal, especially among younger audiences.
However, it's worth noting that BTS has been making waves with even higher view numbers. BTS's "Butter" has soared past 489 million views within just two months. While this number is impressive, it's important to consider the timeline and the release pace of their videos.
The Kwanya of Blackpink's Historic Success
Blackpink has consistently demonstrated a knack for achieving and maintaining high view counts. Their MV "DDU-DU DDU-DU" has an astounding 1.6 billion views, making it the most watched MV by a K-pop group. "Kill This Love" follows closely behind with 1.3 billion views.

Blackpink's MV, "DDU-DU DDU-DU," has an astounding 1.6 billion views, making it the most watched MV by a K-pop group. "Kill This Love" follows closely behind with 1.3 billion views. BTS, on the other hand, has "DNA," their most viewed MV with 1.3 billion views. This highlights the enduring popularity and cultural impact of both groups.
Global Trends and Channel Popularity
Blackpink has made significant strides in the global streaming arena. They recently surpassed Maroon 5 and became the most watched YouTube channel by a K-pop group. This milestone solidifies their position in the competitive K-pop market.
Celebrating this achievement, both Blackpink and BTS's fans (ARMY for BTS, and Bloc Blockchain for Blackpink) are equally excited about their groups' success. BTS, with hits like "Dynamite," "Butter," and "Permission to Dance" (PTD), continues to accumulate massive view counts, ensuring their dominance.
The Impact of Streaming Habits
While both groups have an impressive number of MVs, the relative fewer number of videos released by Blackpink does not significantly diminish their impact. BTS's numerous releases, particularly in the last few years, contribute to their overall view count. However, this also means that fans must dedicate more time to consuming all of BTS's content, including their numerous music videos and singles.
In conclusion, while both Blackpink and BTS have garnered incredible view counts, it is currently Blackpink who leads in terms of most viewed MVs and total views. This clearly demonstrates the enduring popularity of Blackpink and their ability to maintain high view counts over extended periods. Both groups, however, continue to push boundaries and entertain millions of fans worldwide.
