In the competitive world of K-pop, the race for streaming supremacy among solo artists has intensified, particularly with the recent releases from BLACKPINK’s Jennie and BTS’s Jin. Both artists have achieved remarkable milestones, setting records for the most viewed music videos within 24 hours.
Jennie’s “Mantra” Shatters Records
Jennie made a triumphant return on October 11, 2024, with her new single "Mantra." In a stunning display of popularity, the music video garnered over 5.7 million views within its first 24 hours, making it the most viewed music video by a female soloist in that timeframe. The success didn’t stop there; "Mantra" quickly climbed to the top of iTunes charts globally. By October 12, the song had reached No. 1 in at least 47 regions, including major markets like the United States, Brazil, and the Philippines. This achievement highlights Jennie's immense global appeal and solidifies her status as a leading female solo artist in K-pop.
Jin's “Super Tuna” Reigns Supreme
On the male soloist side, Jin’s "Super Tuna" also demonstrated impressive streaming power, achieving 1.4 million views within the same 24-hour window. Though it may not have reached the same viewership as Jennie’s release, Jin's charming and playful concept has resonated with fans, securing him a strong presence in the streaming landscape. His music video has garnered significant attention, reflecting Jin’s enduring popularity as a solo artist.
Other Notable Releases
While Jennie and Jin lead the charge, other artists are also making waves. Lisa's "Moonlit Floor Remake" amassed over 5 million views, showcasing her continued relevance and fan support. Meanwhile, Miyeon’s "LOVIN' MY STAY" and AB6IX’s "NVKED" have also performed well, indicating a vibrant and diverse music scene within K-pop.

Jennie’s success on iTunes is particularly noteworthy. "Mantra" is not only dominating the charts but has also made history as the only song by a female K-pop soloist to reach No. 1 on the U.S. iTunes Top Songs chart in 2024. This accomplishment underscores the shifting dynamics in the music industry, where solo artists are increasingly gaining recognition and success on global platforms.
