With ‘Jump', Blackpink becomes first K-pop act to score two Spotify Global No. 1s (VIDEO)
The quartet's latest single Jump has skyrocketed to No. 1 on Spotify's Global Weekly Top Songs chart, making them the first K-pop group ever to top the chart twice, reported The Korea Herald.
The song, released earlier this month, follows the group's 2022 hit Shut Down — also a chart-topper — and now cements Blackpink as the K-pop act with both the first and most No. 1 entries on the global chart.
According to their label YG Entertainment, Jump racked up more than 44.7 million streams in a single week, the biggest debut for any song released in 2025 so far. It also held the No. 1 spot on Spotify's global daily chart for six consecutive days.
Their Spotify success is only part of the story. Jump debuted at No. 18 on the UK Official Singles Chart, marking Blackpink's highest placement to date and their ninth overall appearance on the British chart.
Over on YouTube, the music video for Jump — which dropped on July 11 — made an immediate splash. It was the most-viewed video globally within 24 hours of release and has remained No. 1 on YouTube's Global Daily Top Music Videos chart for a full week.
The group is currently on the road with their Blackpink World Tour, covering 16 cities and 31 shows, including Bangkok, Jakarta, Bulacan and Singapore.

The immensely talented singer, Kael, returns to colour the local music industry with his fourth single with Alternate Records entitled "Angkasa" , a touching modern pop ballad, the result of a creative collaboration with renowned composer Omar K and talented music producer, Iqie Hugh. "Angkasa " is not just a love song, but an emotional manifestation of two souls who love but are separated by different realities, like day and night sharing the same sky. Inspired by the concept of love between two worlds, " Angkasa " encompasses themes of loyalty, hope and beauty in imperfection. "The main message of this song is about believing in true love even in less-than-ideal situations. If the love is sincere and strong, they remain emotionally and spiritually united in the same "Angkasa (space), " explained Omar K, who also created the beautiful and poetic melody of this song with Kael and Iqie Hugh. " The uniqueness of " Angkasa " lies in its minimal yet emotionally charged musical arrangement, allowing Kael's vocals to shine through with full nuance. Its unconventional melody – soft yet powerful, sad yet hopeful, adds a dramatic cinematic and atmospheric element. " With a modern pop ballad genre combined with minimal and atmospheric electronic elements, " Angkasa " gives an 'openness' feel that symbolizes emotional freedom in the vast sk y," added Omar. Kael, who was also fully involved in the writing, composition, and visual development for " Angkasa " , expressed his feelings of emotion. 'This song is very personal. It highlights my most authentic side. One of the challenges was finding the right words from my heart and shaping them into a poetic and meaningful melody , ' said Kael. "To me, " Angkasa " is one of the romantic love songs of this era, produced to touch the hearts of the listeners. 'Romance cannot be faked. I dedicate this song to all couples, friends and lovers. It is suitable to be played at weddings, anniversaries, special events, or just to express how much we appreciate someone we love.' The pro duction of the song took around three months, including writing, arranging music and recording vocals.
