BLACKPINK's LISA was the K-pop Soloist in charge of inaugurating Spotify's prestigious "Billion Club" with her mega hit "Money".

This feat is added to the fact that the same song has also just surpassed 1 Billion views on YouTube, making LISA the only K-pop Soloist to have a song that exceeds that figure on both platforms.

This is a good read for anyone who is interested.
Lisa did not made nothing amazing, fans pushed her music with unfair tactics, that's all.
How does money have so much streams yet so little radio exposure?
How did this song have double the amount of streams of big acts out there?
Its quite sad at this point tbh
