Lisa of Blackpink uploaded a video showing herself receiving a plaque from Spotify to mark the milestone of 1 billion streams on the platform, Tuesday.

Opening the box to reveal the plaque, she read the message from the platform: “Congrats on being the first female K-pop artist to have a track reach 1 billion streams in Spotify history!”

She achieved the feat on her own with her solo song “Money,” which entered the streaming platform’s official Billions Club playlist. "Money" is a B-side track from her first solo single “Lalisa,” which came out in September 2021.

Spotify hailed her onto the list tweeting in September: “Welcome Lisa to the Club!”
