On January 6, YG Entertainment announced that the video exceeded 200 million views on YouTube at 5:06 PM the previous day. The milestone was achieved approximately 2 years and 4 months after its release on September 19, 2022.
BLACKPINK’s choreography videos are known for their immense popularity, with “Shut Down” being the 13th dance video from the group to surpass 200 million views. Out of BLACKPINK’s 47 YouTube videos that have reached nine-digit viewership, this demonstrates the group’s unparalleled global influence and their fans’ insatiable appetite for their performances.
Upon release, the video garnered 10 million views within half a day and ranked as YouTube’s most-watched video within 24 hours. Meanwhile, the official “Shut Down” music video is nearing 700 million views, showcasing its enduring appeal and fueling further anticipation for continued milestones.
“Shut Down” is a hip-hop track that samples Paganini’s “La Campanella.” The sharp violin arrangement blends seamlessly with a heavy beat, perfectly complementing BLACKPINK’s powerful vocals and dynamic rap verses. The track made history as the first K-pop song to top Spotify’s Weekly Global Chart.
BLACKPINK continues to reign as the “YouTube Queens,” setting unparalleled records. Their official YouTube channel boasts over 95.5 million subscribers—the most for any artist worldwide—and has accumulated more than 37.5 billion views in total.
