Following Rosé's recent chart-topping success with "APT.," BLACKPINK has reached another milestone that puts them in the record books.

YouTube officially announced February 20 that BLACKPINK became the first artist in YouTube history to surpass 100 million subscribers on their official channel. The platform celebrated the achievement by presenting the group with a custom Red Diamond Creator Award.

This historic milestone comes just days after news that Rosé's collaboration with Bruno Mars dominated global charts for 2025, showing the group's continued influence despite recent controversies.

The 100 million subscriber mark represents an unprecedented achievement in YouTube's history. While individual creators and brands have reached massive subscriber counts, no musical artist had crossed this threshold until now. BLACKPINK's YouTube channel features their music videos, behind-the-scenes content, and exclusive performances that have captivated fans worldwide.

The group's YouTube dominance has been building for years. Their music videos regularly rack up hundreds of millions of views, with hits like "DDU-DU DDU-DU" and "Kill This Love" becoming some of the most-watched K-pop videos on the platform. Their visual storytelling and high-production music videos have made their channel a destination for both longtime fans and curious newcomers to K-pop.

This achievement underscores BLACKPINK's global reach and staying power. Even as individual members pursue solo projects and the group navigates industry changes, their collective brand continues breaking new ground. The custom Red Diamond Creator Award recognizes not just their subscriber count, but their role in shaping how artists connect with audiences in the digital age.

With Rosé's solo success and now this YouTube milestone, BLACKPINK continues proving their influence extends far beyond traditional music industry metrics.
