Thanks to fans’ (successful) push to get BLACKPINK’s “DDU-DU DDU-DU” past the 1 billion view mark on YouTube, the video enjoyed a big week-over-week gain in views.

According to YouTube, the immensely popular video amassed 9.23 million views during the November 8-14 tracking period. The count thrusts the video back onto the Global YouTube Music Videos chart at #37.

“DDU-DU DDU-DU” was not on last week’s chart, which means it received fewer than 5.30 million views during the November 1-7 tracking week.

“DDU-DU DDU-DU” is the first video by a Korean group to reach the 1 billion milestone.

Thanks in part to the “DDU-DU DDU-DU” gain, BLACKPINK enjoyed a 10% gain in total YouTube streams this week (up to 68.8 million). The group appears at #33 on the Global YouTube Artists Chart.
