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.

Vietnam singer Phuong My Chi grabs third spot Sing!Asia contest
Phương My Chi of Viietnam left a strong impression on the judges in the Sing!Asia 2025. - Vietnam News/ANN HANOI: Phuong My Chi of Vietnam finished third in the Sing!Asia a Chinese sensational music show that includes a large line-up of artistes from various Asian countries on July 27. In the finale, Phuong My Chi was against two outstanding singers of the hosts and one from Japan in three knockout rounds. In the first round, the contestants were paired up to perform duets with guest artists. This was a challenge of their ability to collaborate on stage. After this round, one contestant was eliminated. The remaining three then competed head-to-head to select the two most outstanding faces for the final round. Contestants must maintain their form, demonstrate a variety of performance skills, and continuously adapt to the demands of each round – from song selection, stage presence, to the ability to connect with an international audience in a short preparation time. Thanks to the strategic support from DTAP crew and the harmonious combination of Phuong My Chi and her guest singer Huang Ling, their emotional performance singing Vietnamese song Lac Troi (Flow) completely convinced the experts and earned highest score of 202.8 points. Phuong My Chi, who captivated audiences with her powerful vocals and soulful sounds, was the leading contestant in the first round. In the second round, Phuong My Chi sang Mot Bo Dua (Chopsticks) – a performance accompanied by 30 children in Asian traditional costumes – strongly reflected the spirit of regional connection. Inspired by the story of a bundle of chopsticks in Vietnamese culture, DTAP and Phuong My Chi converted it into a message of solidarity, friendship and the power of connection between Asian countries. The performance used five languages – Vietnamese, Chinese, Thai, Japanese and English – as a way to express diversity and cultural exchange. Judges praised Chi's impressive development throughout the competition – from the early stages to the finale – highlighting her commanding stage presence and noting that she embodies all the traits of a future star. Phuong My Chi added 204 points to make a total of 406.8 points and was placed third. Miyuna of Japan was successfully crowned the winner. 'Asia is no longer something far far away, in books or on TV, but close around me in this competition," said Chi. "I feel the Asian spirit from the smallest things, the way the contestants tell stories and behave to the unique cultural aspects of each country. "I see Asia through really cute, profound and inspiring friends. Thanks to this Sing!Asia experience, I have had many beautiful memories and messages, and I also appreciate the programme crew who treated me sincerely," she said. The large-scale music competition was organised by the iQIYI platform featuring nine Asian countries and territories. Taking place over 30 days, all contestants began their journey on board of a five-star cruise ship, traveling through destinations in Japan, Vietnam, Singapore, Hong Kong, before entering the semifinal round in Shanghai and the grand finale in Macao. - Vietnam News/ANN

Labubu fans dote over ugly-cute doll trending at Comic-Con
The wide-eyed and grinning doll was created in 2015 by Hong Kong artist and illustrator Kasing Lung. Photo: AP San Diego Comic-Con is the latest location where the ugly-cute dolls named Labubu have been trending, with fans carrying the plushies globally popularised by celebrities Rihanna, Lizzo, Dua Lipa, and Lisa from the K-pop group Blackpink. The wide-eyed and grinning doll was created in 2015 by Hong Kong artist and illustrator Kasing Lung. In 2019, Lung allowed them to be sold by Pop Mart, a Chinese toy company that sells collectible figurines, often in "blind boxes". "Blind boxes" are sealed boxes containing a surprise item that is usually part of a themed collection. Naomi Galban, from San Diego, waited in line on Sunday at the Pop Mart booth in the San Diego Convention Center for a chance to get her first Labubu. "Every time I go to a Pop Mart store, they're sold out," the 24-year-old told Reuters. She hoped to buy one for her little sister. Emily Brough, Pop Mart's head of IP Licensing, spoke to Reuters on Thursday about Labubu fans at Comic-Con. "We love to see how fans are personalising it (Labubu) for themselves," Brough said next to the Pop Mart booth. While Brough noted that there were many people with a Labubu strapped to their bags and backpacks at Comic-Con, the doll's popularity did not happen overnight. Labubus had a huge boost in 2019 after Pop Mart began selling them, and in 2024, when Blackpink's Lisa, who is Thai, created a buying frenzy in Thailand after she promoted Labubu on social media. Pop Mart saw sales skyrocket in North America that same year, with revenue in the United States in the first quarter of 2025 already surpassing the full-year US revenue from 2024, Pop Mart said. When he created Labubu, Lung gave the character, who is female, a backstory inspired by Nordic mythology. He called her and his other fictional creatures "The Monsters." Diana Goycortua, 25, first discovered Labubu through social media, and before she knew it, it felt like a "game" to try and collect the dolls. "It's a little bit of gambling with what you're getting," the Labubu fan from San Diego said on Sunday while waiting at the Pop Mart booth, concluding that her love for the character made it worth trying blind boxes. Goycortua already has three Labubus, and was hoping to score her a fourth one at Comic-Con. – Reuters
