On the 25th (local time), the movie 'Barbie' side uploaded an image containing the lineup of artists participating in the original soundtrack (OST) to the official SNS. In the image, actress Margot Robbie, who plays the main character Barbie, is watching 'Barbie News', drawing attention from fans.
According to 'Barbie News', the soundtrack lineup for the movie 'Barbie' includes Dua Lipa, Lizzo, Ice Spice, Nicki Minaj, Ryan Gosling, Pink Pantherless, Dominic Pike, Gale, and Ava Max.
Fifty Fifty is the only K-pop artist to be included in this lineup and is becoming a hot topic. According to officials, Fifty Fifty will show another charm by singing 'Barbie Dreams'.
It is very unusual that a newcomer, Fifty Fifty, who debuted last year, was cast in the soundtrack lineup of 'Barbie', one of Hollywood's most anticipated films. Officials analyzed that the 'Cupid' syndrome, which hit all of North America, such as being charted on the 'Billboard Hot 100' chart for 9 consecutive weeks, made this possible.
In addition, on the 19th, Fifty Fifty set a record for a K-pop girl group by surpassing 34.3 million monthly listeners on Spotify, the world's largest music streaming site. On the 'Daily Top Songs Global' chart, they have been in the top 10 for over a month, breaking the record for the longest time as a K-pop girl group and receiving a lot of love.
Meanwhile, 'Barbie' is a live-action version of the doll Barbie. Barbie (Margot Robbie), who lived in Barbie Land where she can become anything she wants, discovers a crack in the portal connected to the real world, and Ken (Ryan Gosling) tries to solve it. It is a work that depicts the unfolding story while leaving for an unexpected journey.
