FIFTY FIFTY has entered the Billionaires Club with 'Cupid (Twin Version)', surpassing 1 billion streams on Spotify, making them only the fourth K-pop group in history to achieve this.
As of September 23, 'Cupid (Twin Version)' had accumulated over 1.02 billion streams (1,025,240,000) on Spotify. With this, FIFTY FIFTY became the fourth K-pop group, after BTS, BLACKPINK, and HUNTR/X, to reach the 1-billion-stream milestone. Even looking at K-pop as a whole, only 19 songs have surpassed this record, excluding tracks featuring foreign artists.
'Cupid (Twin Version)' is a track from the album 'The Beginning: Cupid', released in February 2023, and is an easy-listening-focused version characterized by English lyrics and a mix different from the original.
'Cupid' entered the Billboard Hot 100 about a month after its release, setting the record for the fastest entry in K-pop history. It charted for 25 consecutive weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 and 22 consecutive weeks on the UK Official Chart. The song won 'K-POP Song of the Year' at the iHeart Awards, while 'Cupid – Twin Ver. – Sped Up Version' ranked No. 1 among globally popular tracks on TikTok's 'Year on TikTok 2023'. Surpassing 1 billion streams three years after release, the song has solidified its place as FIFTY FIFTY's signature global hit.
Meanwhile, FIFTY FIFTY has created its own genre, 'FIFTY POP', representing the easy-listening genre, and continues to engage with fans through fan concerts and social media activities.
Jeon Hong-jun, CEO of ATTRAKT, said, 'My heart is overflowing with emotion. I sincerely thank global fans for listening to the song so much. We will keep striving to create better, higher-quality music.' He added, 'While this is an achievement earned as a K-pop group, I hope such accomplishments will occur frequently and serve as good nourishment for small and mid-sized agencies in the K-pop industry. To provide that nourishment, ATTRAKT will continue to challenge ourselves even harder.'
