It all began on July 5, 2016. Interestingly, their first video wasn&#8217;t a music video, but a raw and fierce choreography practice for the remix of Rihanna\u2019s \u201cBitch Better Have My Money,\u201d which can still be found<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@BLACKPINK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> on their Youtube channel<\/a> as \u201cBLACKPINK \u2013 DANCE PRACTICE VIDEO\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>That video, now a cult favorite, already showcased the power and star quality of a quartet that, nine years and seven months later, has accumulated staggering figures on their channel:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>649 videos published.<\/li>\n<li>Over 41 billion total views.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" hcb-fetch-image-from=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=0SuAHUdHbx0\" title=\"BLACKPINK - HITS 100 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS ON YOUTUBE\u3163Thank you BLINKs!\" width=\"1240\" height=\"698\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0SuAHUdHbx0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Beyond the sheer power of the numbers lies the bond with their fandom. Minutes after the announcement, Jisoo, the group\u2019s eldest member, shared her excitement on Instagram, posing with the Red Diamond plaque. Her message was direct and full of gratitude: \u201cI love you BLINK,\u201d reaffirming that this milestone is a shared victory.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-160080\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musicmundial.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/jisoo-with-the-100-million-diamond-certification-of-youtube.jpg\" alt=\"jisoo with the 100 million diamond certification of youtube\" width=\"958\" height=\"697\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.musicmundial.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/jisoo-with-the-100-million-diamond-certification-of-youtube.jpg 958w, https:\/\/www.musicmundial.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/jisoo-with-the-100-million-diamond-certification-of-youtube-300x218.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.musicmundial.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/jisoo-with-the-100-million-diamond-certification-of-youtube-768x559.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.musicmundial.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/jisoo-with-the-100-million-diamond-certification-of-youtube-860x626.jpg 860w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 958px) 100vw, 958px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>YouTube<\/strong> also congratulated BLACKPINK on this historic milestone, leaving a touching message for their fans:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\">\n        <blockquote hcb-fetch-image-from=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/YouTube\/status\/2025023934413095247\" class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">BLINKs, you did it! \ud83d\udc96 A massive congratulations to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BLACKPINK?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@BLACKPINK<\/a> for reaching 100 MILLION subscribers on YouTube! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/P4QHHkdZFl\">pic.twitter.com\/P4QHHkdZFl<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; YouTube (@YouTube) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/YouTube\/status\/2025023934413095247?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">February 21, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n        <\/figure>\n        \n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The timing couldn&#8217;t be more perfect.
