In addition to breaking this record, they also had the highest debut on Spotify history for a girl group gaining over 5,766,451 million listens. It is the most for a girl group and second most for a kpop group. However, the records don’t stop there.

Congratulations to the record-breaking queens! This was all done in the first 24 so who knows what other records they’ll break. Regardless, both artists did an amazing job and we are so excited to see their future work. After all, this was all done with 0 promotions and an audio video.
