In particular, the pre-release track of the girl group was only 176 days since it was released on June 26, while BLACKPINK'S previous mega-hit song, "DDU-DU DDU-DU," took 266 days or over eighth months before reaching this honor, thus the latter track loses to the former as "Girl Group MV to reach 700 million views" - which were both tracks released by BLACKPINK.
Currently, the quartet has a total of five tracks that surpassed the achievement including "How You Like That," "BOOMBAYAH," "As If It's Your Last," "DDU-DU DDU-DU," and "KILL THIS LOVE."
