BLACKPINK Just Smashed a World Record
By Jasmine Ting
Apr 07, 2019K-Pop girl group BLACKPINK is taking over all of the areas with their record-breaking music. Lisa, Jennie, Rosé, and Jisoo just released the music video for their latest single "Kill This Love" on Thursday, and already it's become the fastest video to reach 100 million views — beating previous record-holder, Korean artist PSY, and his music video for "Gentleman."

It took 2.8 days for "Gentleman" to reach 100 million views, and 3.4 days for Ariana Grande's "thank u, next." "Kill This Love" broke the record by reaching the benchmark within 2 days, 14 hours, and 13 minutes. And, naturally, stans are celebrating this huge milestone.
