BLACKPINK's JUMP overtakes Sabrina Carpenter's Manchild, becomes biggest 2025 Spotify debut for female artist and K-pop act

Pink Villa3 days ago
BLACKPINK is back and bigger than ever. Their latest digital single, JUMP, has taken the global music scene by storm. The track has made an explosive debut on Spotify. It shattered multiple records and set new standards for K-pop and female artists alike.
BLACKPINK's JUMP sets 2025 Spotify record for female artist and K-pop group debut
Upon its release, JUMP instantly drew massive attention from fans across the globe. Within the first 24 hours, the song racked up over 9.3 million total streams. This makes it the largest debut for any female artist on Spotify in 2025.
Of those, 7.028 million streams were officially credited. The track landed at No. 2 on Spotify's Global Daily Chart, right behind Justin Bieber's DAISIES, which debuted with 8.34 million. While it narrowly missed the top spot overall, JUMP emerged as the highest-ranking debut by a girl group and K-pop act this year. It effortlessly surpassed all prior benchmarks.
BLACKPINK's JUMP shatters K-pop girl group debut records
Before BLACKPINK 's return, the 2025 record for the biggest debut by a K-pop girl group belonged to aespa. Their single Dirty Work opened with 2.39 million streams. JUMP didn't just beat that figure, it nearly quadrupled it.
In addition, when compared to other top-performing female-led K-pop tracks of the year, the contrast becomes even more stark. TWICE's THIS IS FOR, another highly anticipated comeback, earned 2.25 million debut streams. Against that backdrop, BLACKPINK's numbers demonstrate the unmatched reach and global pull the group continues to command.
BLACKPINK surpasses Sabrina Carpenter's Manchild
The impact of JUMP goes beyond K-pop. Its overall streaming performance has placed BLACKPINK at the top of all female artists on Spotify in 2025. The track overtakes Sabrina Carpenter's Manchild, which previously held the lead with 8.7 million first-day streams.
Rather than fueling competition, fans of both artists celebrated the moment as a win for women in music. BLACKPINK and Sabrina Carpenter are known for their mutual admiration. Fans took to social media to applaud their parallel success stories.
Spotify Artist Chart surge
Beyond individual song streams, the release of JUMP also propelled BLACKPINK back into the spotlight on Spotify's artist rankings. The group saw a dramatic leap of 128 spots on the Spotify Global Daily Top Artists chart, rising to No. 41 in just one day.

‘I can't imagine myself doing anything else'

In 2021, Aria was Gauthami, a dorky teenager on a year-long break from studies. Then she decided to audition online to be a K-Pop idol. 'When I first introduced my dream to my family over dinner, everybody laughed and felt it was one of my crazy obsessions,' she says. Today, she's a member of the girl group X:IN and only the second such idol from India. After two years in Seoul, she's leaner, speaks English with an accent, has blonde hair and, for some, looks fairer. For her, though, that's just the process of growing up. Says Aria, 'Being an idol comes with a lot of downsides, but I love what I'm doing. I cannot imagine myself doing anything else.'

Shinji's Fiancé Munwon Clears the Air on Transgender DM Controversy, And the Internet Can't Stop Reacting

The DM Controversy Everyone's Talking About Oh, the wild ride that is K-pop drama! This time, it's Munwon, fiance of much-loved singer Shinji, who found himself at the centre of spicy rumors involving a transgender influencer named Sera. But before the online grapevine could set new records for speculation, BJ Kkotja, a popular streamer, decided to set the record straight on air. Here's what went down: Kkotja revealed during a personal stream that while it's true Munwon and Sera knew each other before, Munwon apparently had no clue Sera was transgender post-transition. The fuel for the rumors? Kkotja caught them following each other on social media and even found traces of direct messages (DMs) exchanged-cue the dramatic background music. Things got hotter when Sera herself joked, "I wouldn't reveal these chats even for ₹60 lakh, but for ₹3 crore, maybe!" Light banter, sure, but it only made the online crowd more suspicious, especially those who love some masala in their social feeds. Unpacking the Reality-With a Touch of K-drama Not one to let things get out of hand, Kkotja cleared it up: Munwon didn't know about Sera's transition when they first connected, nor did he know she was a part of the LGBTQ+ community. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo After reviewing the chat logs herself, Kkotja confirmed, "There's absolutely nothing problematic here." She also asked fans not to read too much into friendly exchanges between two people who knew each other since the days Sera was prepping her trot album. And hey, who can't relate to misunderstandings over DMs in the age of Instagram and WhatsApp? Whether you're in Seoul or Surat, a good old group chat is just an awkward screenshot away from sparking drama. Relationships, Rumors, and the Weight of Public Gaze Since Shinji and Munwon went public with their wedding plans, some have tried digging up dirt: questions about past marriages, kids, and now this alleged DM "scandal." As if every South Indian aunty and K-drama fan club had fused into one, netizens speculated with the energy of a cricket final. But in this whirlwind, it's clear-sometimes, friends are just friends, and jokes are just jokes.
