Let's dive in and explore the elite K-pop groups that have reached this significant milestone.


1. BTS

    2. BLACKPINK

      BLACKPINK's fierce performances and infectious music have taken the music world by storm. Known for hits like "Kill This Love," "DDU-DU DDU-DU," etc., their unique blend of powerful vocals and mesmerizing choreography has earned them a dedicated global fanbase. Surpassing 5 billion streams on Spotify, BLACKPINK has shattered records and proven that the K-pop phenomenon knows no boundaries.


      3. TWICE

        TWICE, often referred to as "The Nation's Girl Group" in South Korea, has charmed fans with their catchy melodies and wholesome image. The group's hits like "Cheer Up," "What is Love," and "The Feels" have significantly contributed to their impressive streaming numbers, surpassing 5 billion on Spotify alone. TWICE's relatable and uplifting songs have struck a chord with listeners worldwide, cementing their status as one of the most successful K-pop acts.


        4. Stray Kids

          Representing the fourth generation of K-pop, Stray Kids has emerged as a powerhouse with their innovative music and relatable themes.

          Most of the people commenting here are just plain pathetic. Attacking one or other groups just to elevate their own favourite. They are selfish and and clearly have no life.


          Instead of just celebrating the fact that kpop artists doing so well collectively, all they can do is demonstrate collective stupidity and immaturity.
