They are the highest-charting female K-Pop band on the Billboard 100 and Billboard 200 with their hit 2019 track "Kill This Love."
BLACKPINK is the first and only K-Pop group to enter the Billboard "Emerging Artists" chart and is the first female K-pop group to have four no. 1 singles on the Billboard's World Digital Song Sales chart. The quartet is also the most subscribed music group on YouTube and the most-followed female group on Spotify.
The group released "How You Like That" on June 26, Friday, their first comeback in a year and two months. It is notably the first song released from BLACKPINK's forthcoming debut album set for release in September.
The song had broken numerous records, including most viewed YouTube clip in 24 hours, the most-viewed music video on YouTube in 24 hours, and the most viewed music video by a K-Pop act also in 24 hours.
With the song's success, the group has amassed a massive fan base in Canada, and many are anticipating the group's future release.The group consists of Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa. On June 2, YG Entertainment confirmed that Rosé would be releasing her solo album this year, followed by Lisa then Jisoo.
