With this achievement, BLACKPINK Lisa has become the first female K-pop artist and only Asian female singer in history to achieve the feat. This also makes her the third female singer in the world after Adele and Becky G (collab with BTS J-Hope) to do so.

What makes this more impressive is that Lisa hasn't been active in the music scene lately as she is busy preparing for BLACKPINK's comeback, which is expected to take place later this year.
