BLACKPINK’s “Jump” Ranks No. 1 on Spotify Global Chart; First Korean Artist to Achieve Two Consecutive No. 1s

BLACKPINK has become the first Korean artist to claim two consecutive No. 1 spots on Spotify’s Global Top Songs Weekly chart, following up on their 2022 hit “Shut Down” with their new track “Jump.” YG Entertainment officially announced that “Jump” secured the top position in the rankings released on July 17. Just one day after its release on July 11, “Jump” climbed to the top of Spotify’s Global chart and remained there for six consecutive days. It has since accumulated over 44 million streams on Spotify. On YouTube, it became the most-viewed music video within 24 hours of release and held the No. 1 spot on the Global Daily Top Music Videos chart for seven straight days. “Jump” also topped iTunes charts in 61 countries, including the United States, and reached high rankings on major Korean streaming platforms such as Melon, Genie, and Flo. This success came amid a simultaneous comeback with TWICE’s new song released on the same day. At 1 p.m. on July 11, TWICE and BLACKPINK unveiled their new music at exactly the same time. The two groups showcased their distinct musical identities. TWICE released their 14-track studio album “THIS IS FOR” to celebrate their 10th anniversary. The title track, also named “THIS IS FOR,” is entirely in English and features retro guitar riffs and smooth basslines. It carries an empowering message in its lyrics, stating, “This is for all women who haven’t received enough attention.” TWICE demonstrated their evolution into a “mature woman” era through precise choreography and harmonies. In contrast, BLACKPINK’s “Jump” is infused with European EDM energy, characterized by intense beats, fast tempos, and a minimalist yet aggressive production style. Filled with wild western motifs and club-ready energy, this track is distinctly different from their previously melody-focused songs such as “Love Sick Girls,” “Forever Young,” and “As If It’s Your Last.” At the end of the track, the group’s iconic signature phrase, “BLACKPINK IN YOUR AREA,” hits like a punch. Fans were so eager for this song that they extracted it from concert footage and released it independently even before it was officially presented live. “Jump” marks BLACKPINK’s first new song in 2 years and 8 months. The group is currently on the Deadline World Tour, which began in Goyang, South Korea, and has already included performances in Los Angeles. They plan to hold 31 more shows in 16 cities, including Chicago, Toronto, New York, Paris, Milan, Barcelona, London, Kaohsiung, Bangkok, Jakarta, Bulakan, Singapore, Tokyo, and Hong Kong.
