After achieving multiple world records, BLACKPINK continues to top the year-end charts of multiple music platforms.
Their two hits this year, "PINK VENOM" and "SHUT DOWN," have further cemented their place as one of the most successful and relevant groups of the year.
"PINK VENOM" and "SHUT DOWN" took the top two spots on the Genius Korea 2022 Year-End List for Best Kpop Songs.
BLACKPINK's "Pink Venom" and "Shut Down" also hold multiple records for debuts on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, Shazam, and more, as well as topping each of the aforementioned platforms' year-end charts and receiving critical reviews positive by Billboard, Recording Academy, Rolling Stones, Time, etc.
But this is article is false -- misleading at best. The ranking is not a qualifier of "best" tracks at all! If you click on the link, you can see the criteria Genius used to determine the placements for this chart, and it only has to do with people searching for lyrics.
In other words, those two tracks were simply the most viewed by people looking for lyrics/translations, not that they're somehow better than other tracks on their site, judged either by Genius or anyone else.
