Rosé of BLACKPINK Makes History with 800 Million Spotify Streams for R

BLACKPINK’s Rosé has reached a remarkable milestone in her solo career. Her debut album, R, has now surpassed 800 million streams on Spotify, making her the first female Korean soloist to achieve this incredible feat. This accomplishment is even more impressive considering that the album consists of just two tracks.

Rosé’s Record-Breaking Achievement

On August 29, it was confirmed that Rosé’s R had officially exceeded 800 million streams on Spotify. This achievement highlights her immense popularity and influence as a solo artist. The album features her debut title track "On The Ground" and the B-side "Gone," both of which have contributed significantly to her success.

A Major Milestone in K-Pop History

Released on March 12, 2021, R has reached this milestone in just over three years, further solidifying Rosé’s position as a leading figure in the global music scene. She became the second member of BLACKPINK to debut as a solo artist, following her bandmate Jennie. The album's success showcases Rosé’s ability to connect with a global audience through her music.

The Tracks That Shaped Rosé’s Solo Career

"On The Ground," the lead single from R, is an electro-pop track that reflects Rosé’s personal struggles and her journey toward self-discovery. The song’s emotionally charged lyrics and gradual build-up have resonated with fans worldwide. Meanwhile, "Gone," the B-side track, is a soft rock ballad that highlights Rosé’s vocal abilities as she sings about lost love.

What’s Next for Rosé?

While Rosé has not released new solo music in a while, she has reassured fans that a comeback is on the horizon. Additionally, she recently sang her first OST for Pachinko 2, starring Lee Min Ho. Rosé is also expected to reunite with her BLACKPINK bandmates in 2025 for a highly anticipated group comeback.
