This is most likely due to the group's solo releases. Despite not promoting as a group, all of BLACKPINK's solo releases were shared on the BLACKPINK channel. Lisa's "MONEY" was the second most-viewed BLACKPINK video, and "LALISA" ranked at number three.
BLACKPINK's most-viewed music video is not even a music video - in fact, it is the dance practice video for "How You Like That." Back in April 2022, the dance practice video made headlines after it was discovered that it had more views than the actual music video for "How You Like That."
