Jisoo Hits 1.3 Billion Streams on YouTube Music with Just 7 Songs
BLACKPINK’s Jisoo is showing the world that talent, grace, and a strong connection with fans can go a long way—even with a small number of songs. The singer has now crossed 1.3 billion total streams on YouTube Music, and she did it with just seven tracks to her name.
Jisoo made her solo debut in March 2023 with the single album ME, which features just two songs: “Flower” and “All Eyes on Me.” Despite the small tracklist, the album became an instant success. “Flower,” in particular, took over global charts and social media, thanks to its catchy sound and viral choreography. The music video for the track currently has over 523 million views on YouTube, making it one of the standout solo releases in K-pop history.
What’s even more groundbreaking is that ME became the first album by a Korean female soloist to hit 1 billion streams on YouTube Music—a milestone that speaks volumes about Jisoo’s reach beyond her role in BLACKPINK. Within just two days of its release, the album sold more than 1 million copies, setting a new record for female solo artists in South Korea.
But music isn’t the only place Jisoo shines. She’s also been exploring acting, starring in the K-drama Snowdrop and preparing for her role in the upcoming film Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint, which is expected to premiere in summer 2025. Earlier this year, she also launched her own label called Blissoo, stepping into a more independent and creative space in her career. What makes Jisoo’s 1.3 billion stream milestone even more amazing is how she did it. No deluxe albums. No massive collaborations. Just seven songs, driven by pure artistry, loyal fans, and a global presence that keeps growing.
Grammy-winning Nigerian artist Burna Boy has opened up about his transformation, telling fans that the old version of himself is gone for good. In a message shared on Instagram about his upcoming album, ‘No Sign Of Weakness,’ Burna Boy said Nigerians played a part in ending the ‘African Giant’ era of his career.
He explained that the new version, which he calls ‘Big 7,’ exists to protect what’s left of Burna Boy’s heart after the old self was lost. He wrote, “The ‘African Giant’ Burna Boy died. His own people killed him. Then ‘Big 7’ was born to protect what was left of ‘Burna Boy.’ Burna Boy and Big 7 fight a lot because while Big 7 protects the last piece of Burna Boy’s broken heart, the ‘African Giant’ still haunts him.”
Nigerian Singer Mr P from the former music duo, P-Square, addresses the ongoing comparison of his YouTube views with upcoming artists views.
The singer took to his official X platform to addresses that his priority is not the amount of views and will the comparison to end.
“Team P! We are not in any competition with anybody! So stop disturbing us by comparing YouTube views. I can easily buy 20 million views in less than 1 hour! But I rather grow organically and get real engagement and real fans.”
“What’s the point of 2 million views with less than 2k comments and 20k likes when we are doing 1.2 million views with more than 5k comments and close to 50k likes.”
Popular American Singer Chris Brown is reportedly set on a bail sentence and has been released from jail.
It can be recalled that the singer was recently arrested based on an assault allegation in 2023.
The singer was also given conditions for his release which includes to reside at a specific address known to the court and giving up his passport and travel documents to the police, except for tour-related travel.
