The Ten Most-Streamed Female K-Pop Artist B-Sides For Each Year Since 2013… Excluding BLACKPINK
In recent years, it seems like K-Pop B-side tracks — the songs on albums that aren’t the title track — have been getting a lot more attention, and sometimes even get more streams than the lead singles on the same album! On Spotify, many of these sidetracks end up earning millions or tens of millions of streams on their own. Here’s a look at the 10 most-streamed female K-Pop artist songs of each year since 2013, apart from BLACKPINK‘s songs, since they would undoubtedly own the chart!
