BLACKPINK is now the most-streamed female group on Spotify, with 16.94 billion total streams recorded as of April 1, 2026. (guinnessworldrecords.com) Guinness World Records updated the mark this month and said BLACKPINK’s catalog reached 16,941,431,115 Spotify streams, including 16.17 billion as a lead artist and 770.7 million as a featured artist. (guinnessworldrecords.com) Guinness also said “How You Like That” and “Kill This Love” have each cleared 1 billion Spotify streams, giving the group two billion-stream songs in the platform tally cited for the record. (guinnessworldrecords.com) The streaming milestone landed during a new BLACKPINK group cycle. YG Entertainment announced the quartet’s 3rd mini album, *DEADLINE*, for February 27, 2026, their first full-group release in three years. (ygfamily.com) That return was paired with another platform record in February, when YouTube said BLACKPINK became the first artist channel to reach 100 million subscribers. (blog.youtube) YouTube said the group had nine videos in its Billion Views Club when it announced the 100 million mark on February 20, 2026. Yonhap reported the milestone the next day, citing YouTube’s custom Red Diamond Creator Award for the channel. (blog.youtube) (en.yna.co.kr) Spotify’s all-time stream rankings are not published as a single official public leaderboard, so fan posts often rely on third-party chart trackers and record updates to compare artists across catalogs. Kworb’s artist pages, which are widely used by fans for Spotify totals, currently list BLACKPINK above other girl groups in cumulative streams. (kworb.net) The latest Guinness update gives those fan claims an official benchmark: as of April 2026, BLACKPINK still sits at the top of Spotify’s female-group streaming race.
