Guinness World Records recently released its “Record-breaking best of 2023” list. And to no surprise both Lisa and her group BLACKPINK had their names mentioned in it.
According to GWR, 2023 was a huge year for K-pop. But what makes the year more monumental is three records were set by Lisa in January alone.
“She became the first solo K-pop winner at the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) and the first solo K-pop winner at the MTV Europe Music Awards,” they wrote. Moreover, the Thai rapper was also praised for “earning the record for most followers on Instagram for a K-Pop artist.”
With an astounding total of eight Guinness World Records under her name, Lisa has now solidified herself in the industry. As of writing, she remains to be the first and only K-Pop artist to achieve this feat.
Aside from three previously mentioned records, BLACKPINK’s youngest member also earned records as the fastest solo K-pop female artist to reach 1 Billion streams on Spotify. Moreover, she also holds the first K-Pop track and album by a solo artist to reach 1 Billion streams on Spotify for the track “Lalisa” and album of the same name.
