Vevo's newly released 2025 end-of-year charts officially feature Sabrina Carpenter's "Manchild" as the most watched premiere in the United States. On the other hand, BLACKPINK's Jennie made a global record with "like JENNIE," which became Vevo's biggest premiere worldwide.

The platform's report was officially published on December 10, 2025. Vevo notes that 83 per cent of surveyed viewers believe that music videos still hold an important place in pop culture, and 76 per cent find that current releases are diverse.

As a member of BLACKPINK and also a beloved solo artist, Jennie pushed K-pop into Vevo's top global premiere position for the first time. Sabrina Carpenter secured a notable U.S. milestone with "Manchild" following her 2024 singles. The two artists led two different parts of the global pop scene.

Vevo released an official press release to announce the 2025 end-of-year charts. It read:

"Vevo, the world’s leading music video network, has unveiled its annual end-of-year charts for 2025, which provide a window into major pop culture trends and fan-driven moments of the past year."

It continues:

"Music videos remain a key pillar of entertainment and continue to hold emotional power and cultural cachet, per a recent Vevo report, “Fandom = Cultural Currency.” Eighty-three percent of the respondents said music videos play an important role in pop culture and 76% stated that music videos are diverse and representative.
"Growing Globalization JENNIE led the charge for the K-Pop genre, which entered the Vevo charts for the first time, having successfully closed out her solo year. “like JENNIE” was the most watched premiere* (33.4 million global views* within the first 14 days of its release) and third most watched music video overall on Vevo globally. JENNIE’s “ExtraL“ with Doechii, “Love Hangover” with Dominic Fike, and “ZEN” were also some of the most watched premieres on Vevo globally."

Jennie's "like JENNIE" dominated Vevo's premiere charts with approximately 33.4 million global views within its first 14 days

The video was officially released on March 7, 2025. The video surpassed 100 million views faster than any other K-pop release this year.

Jennie also landed multiple other notable premieres: "ExtraL" featuring Doechii, "Love Hangover" with Dominic Fike, and "ZEN" secured positions on Vevo's global charts.


Sabrina Carpenter leads the U.S. Vevo chart with "Manchild"

In the U.S., Sabrina Carpenter's "Manchild" became the top-performing premiere. It earned more than 7 million domestic views within its first two weeks. The video was part of her album cycle for Man's Best Friend. Sabrina Carpenter is also preparing for a few festival appearances across Latin America and the United States in 2026.

Vevo's press release mentioned:

"Meanwhile, Sabrina Carpenter’s “Manchild” and “Tears” playfully draw on nostalgic films. “Tears” in particular had fans coming back to the video after Sabrina Carpenter released a series of alternate endings. In the U.S. specifically, Sabrina Carpenter’s “Manchild” was the biggest premiere on Vevo, bringing in over 7 million U.S. views* in the first 14 days of the video’s release."

Vevo's Content, Programming & Marketing Senior Vice President, JP Evangelista, mentioned:

"Vevo's annual insights serve as a pop culture pulse check, showing what music videos drove the most buzz and what was most culturally relevant this year. As a network that's purely dedicated to the music video, we have been stewards of this art form and analyzing the trends in this space for over 15 years."

The statement continues:

"This was a historical year for Vevo, especially having a K-Pop music video as our top premiere of the year. Music video viewership in 2025 reflected diverse consumer palettes, with fans increasingly watching artists from all corners of the world, spanning a variety of genres, sub-genres, and local scenes."
