Group FIFTY FIFTY has become the fourth K-pop group to achieve 1 billion streams.

According to their agency ATTRACT on the 24th, as of the 23rd, FIFTY FIFTY's "Cupid (Twin Version)" recorded a cumulative 1 billion 25 million 241 thousand 452 streams on the global music streaming platform Spotify, earning a place in Spotify's Billions Club. This marks the fourth record for a K-pop group following BTS, BLACKPINK, and HUNTR/X.

To date, a total of 19 songs across all of K-pop have surpassed 1 billion streams on Spotify (excluding featured tracks released primarily by foreign artists), and FIFTY FIFTY has proudly added its name to this list, achieving a major milestone.

Regarding this achievement, ATTRACT's Jeon Hong-jun (CEO) stated, "I am overwhelmed with emotion. I sincerely thank our global fans for listening to the song so much. We will strive even harder to create better and higher-quality music in the future."

They continued, "While this is an achievement earned as a K-pop group, we hope such accomplishments will occur frequently in the future, allowing small and medium-sized agencies to become a good nutrient for the K-pop industry. To provide such nutrients, ATTRACT will continue to challenge itself with even greater effort."

Released in February 2023 on the album "The Beginning: Cupid," "Cupid (Twin Version)" features English lyrics and focuses on easy listening with a mix distinct from the original version.

"Cupid" charted on the Billboard Hot 100 just about one month after its release, breaking the record for the fastest entry onto the Billboard Hot 100 in K-pop history. In particular, it achieved unprecedented global chart success by remaining on the Billboard Hot 100 for 25 consecutive weeks and on the UK Official Charts for 22 consecutive weeks.

Notably, it won "K-POP Song of the Year" at that year's iHeart Awards, and "Cupid – Twin Ver. – Sped Up Version" ranked first among global popular songs in TikTok's "Year on TikTok 2023," achieving significant milestones. With 1 billion streams achieved three years after its release, it has established itself as FIFTY FIFTY's representative global long-running hit song.

FIFTY FIFTY continues to receive great love from global music fans as a leading representative of easy listening, possessing musicality and solid skills, even creating a unique genre called "FiftyPop."
