BLACKPINK has added another massive YouTube milestone to its record. According to YG Entertainment, BLACKPINK’s “Ice Cream” featuring Selena Gomez surpassed 1 billion views on YouTube on April 15, 2026. YG confirmed the news the following day, making “Ice Cream” the group’s 10th music video to cross 1 billion-view.
That pushes BLACKPINK’s YouTube record even further. They now hold the most billion-view music videos of any K-pop group. And according to YG and Korean media reports, BLACKPINK is also the first group in the world to reach 10 music videos with over 1 billion views. Their official YouTube channel has also passed 50 billion total views.
The Sweet Taste of 1 Billion: How “Ice Cream” Finally Melted the Record
“Ice Cream” was originally released on August 28, 2020, so it took 5 years, 7 months, and 18 days to hit the milestone. Still, the pop collaboration has clearly held its staying power. Even years after release, fans kept the video steadily climbing.
The song also had a strong U.S. chart run back in 2020. It spent eight consecutive weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, setting a record as the longest-charting song by an all-female Korean act. It also became Selena Gomez’s 20th top 40 hit and BLACKPINK’s third top 40 entry in the United States.
Now that BLACKPINK “Ice Cream” 1 billion is official, fans are celebrating one of the group’s most memorable crossover hits.
