In a groundbreaking moment for K-pop, Lisa of the iconic group Blackpink has made history with her solo track, "Money," amassing a staggering 1 billion plays on a prominent music platform, as announced on Wednesday. This achievement marks the first time a K-pop female musician has reached such a monumental milestone.

"Money," a B-side track from Lisa's inaugural solo album, "Lalisa," has not only claimed the title of being the most streamed song from a K-pop solo artist on the platform but has also propelled the album to the same distinction within the K-pop solo album category.

Moreover, the accompanying performance video for "Money" has mesmerized fans, accumulating over 900 million views on YouTube as of Tuesday, a testament to Lisa's widespread appeal and influence.

In a separate triumph for Blackpink, the group's world tour, "Born Pink," which commenced in October last year and concluded in Seoul over the past weekend, has left an indelible mark in the music industry. The tour, featuring 66 concerts across 34 cities, captured the hearts of approximately 1.8 million fans, as reported by label YG Entertainment on Wednesday. Notably, the tour is estimated to have grossed an astonishing figure exceeding $265 million, underscoring the global resonance and commercial success of Blackpink's unparalleled musical journey.
