People Express Mixed Reactions on BLACKPINK's Staggering Viewer Count
While most netizens were drawn to the unforgettable performance of BLACKPINK in Coachella 2023, they also expressed amazement in a forum regarding their streams. Many voiced out their shock with BLACKPINK's 250 million viewers, solidifying the group's "queen" status.
"Seeing the comments, seems like the numbers are true? Amazing."
"It's impressive how the server held on."
"YouTube is indeed worldwide. The server would've collapsed anywhere else."
"Even in our country, you can find the viewership based on the time of the day. If you search up "most streamed act of Coachella", you'll only see that they counted BP and the numbers seem real. Also, Calvin Harris played after BP so I think that those numbers are really for BP only."
However, during the discussion, some were skeptical of the numbers collected in terms of viewership. Other netizens commented how the overall 250 million views involved all of Coachella's performances and not just BLACKPINK.
"Isn't that the numbers that things like Super Bowl get? BLACKPINK definitely did bring a heck ton of viewers but 250 million seems crazy impossible."
"It wouldn't make sense for anyone to estimate a 250M viewership on one group alone when bigger artists wouldn't be able to achieve that."
"It's 'anticipated,' meaning it's not yet a fact. It's just a prediction that it will garner that much views. Real data will only be known after the 2nd week."
"Those numbers are for the whole of Coachella. Not just for one act."
