Blackpink's Lisa continues to make history as her solo record LALISA becomes the first K-pop solo artist album to surpass 1 billion Spotify streams.

Lisa of Blackpink is unstoppable when it comes to setting records and changing the course of music history. The Thai pop star recently made history when her album LALISA became the first K-pop soloist to surpass 1 billion Spotify streams.

As the lead single from her debut single album of the same name, LALISA was made available by YG Entertainment on September 10, 2021. It is characterised as a dynamic hip-hop track with Thai culture as an influence, written and produced by longtime YG collaborator Teddy Park, Bekuh Boom, and 24.

Lisa, who joined Blackpink as the only K-pop female artist to have an album surpass 1 billion streams on Spotify, reached this incredible milestone in just 595 days with just two songs. Not only that, but she also holds the record for having amassed 1 billion Spotify streams in the quickest time ever for a K-pop act, demonstrating her enormous appeal to music fans everywhere.

Additionally, she won Best K-Pop Video at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards and the 2022 MTV Europe Music Awards, making her the first solo K-pop winner in history.
