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.
Nigerian pastor Dolapo Lawal spoke on the reality of living abroad and what people do not see online.
He shared the insight that many Nigerians who relocate to other countries mainly move there for survival and not necessarily for wealth.
“How many people you know that are in the UK who are billionaires? They go there to survive. They don’t go there to be rich. All of them are going there to do care jobs. They’re going there to survive.”
He then shared that it is better to be a billionaire in Nigeria and stated that success can sometimes come easier at home than relocating abroad.

She also stated that she has evidence against Frank, including receipts from hotels and places where he allegedly met with his dates.
Popular singer Shakira and Nigerian singer Burna Boy have reportedly released “Daidia,” a song linked to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
It was also noted that the two artists are expected to perform during the event, and the song for the occasion has now been released.
This will not be the first time Shakira will perform for the World Cup. Whenever her name is mentioned, many people remember “Waka Waka,” the iconic World Cup song released for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup is scheduled to take place from June 11, 2026, to July 19, 2026, across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
Many fans are already excited and cannot wait to see the live performance on the big stage.
