[Edaily Starin YUN GI BACK Reporter] Singer and producer ZICO has once again demonstrated his global musical influence by surpassing 300 million streams on Spotify with his signature hit “SPOT!” He is recognized for not only his consistent success as an artist but also for expanding his musical influence through a string of successes as a producer.

According to his agency, KOZ Entertainment, on the 24th, ZICO’s digital single “SPOT!” (feat. JENNIE) surpassed 300 million cumulative streams on the global music platform Spotify as of the 23rd. This marks the first time a song released under ZICO’s own name has reached 300 million streams.
“SPOT!” is a song that captures the carefree moment between two friends who happen to run into each other late at night. Zico’s signature rhythmic rap combined with JENNIE’s distinctive vocals garnered an explosive response both domestically and internationally immediately after its release.
Upon its release in April 2024, the song dominated the real-time, daily, weekly, and monthly charts on major Korean music platforms such as Melon and Genie, and continued its global success by appearing on the U.S. Billboard “Global 200” chart for eight consecutive weeks. Even now, a year after its release, the song continues to record steady streaming numbers, establishing itself as a “long-running hit.”
This achievement is significant not only because it demonstrates that Zico maintains consistent global competitiveness as a solo artist but also because it highlights the expanding connection between K-pop artists and international platforms. It is widely regarded as having secured both a dedicated fanbase and mainstream appeal, as the song has sustained stable consumption over the long term rather than merely being a fleeting trend.
His presence as a producer is also notable. BOYNEXTDOOR, for which ZICO served as executive producer, has established itself as HYBE’s next-generation boy group by achieving million-seller status with four consecutive albums. Additionally, “TIK TOK” (Feat. ZICO), a collaboration between ZICO and Crush, has maintained its position at the top of various music charts since its release and continues to enjoy long-term success.
ZICO is also set to embark on a concert tour. On September 26, he will hold a solo concert titled “2026 ZICO LIVE: HONG KONG HIGHWAY” at AsiaWorld-Expo Hall 7 in Hong Kong. This marks ZICO’s first solo concert in Hong Kong in about eight years, and anticipation is high for his reunion with global fans.
