South Korean girl group BLACKPINK have set multiple new Guinness World Records titles with the release of the video for their latest single 'How You Like That'.

Other previous record holders for most viewed YouTube video in 24 hours include Ariana Grande’s “thank u, next” (55.4 million views), Taylor Swift’s “Look What You Made Me Do” (43.2 million views) and BLACKPINK themselves, who held the titles for just one week with their last release “Kill This Love” (56.7 million views).
'How You Like That' is the group’s first single since 'Kill This Love', with members Jisoo, Jennie, Rose and Lisa gearing up towards the release of their first Korean-language album.
YouTube also confirmed to Guinness World Records that the live premiere of 'How You Like That' reached 1.66 million peak concurrent viewers, subsequently setting two new record titles for:
