BLACKPINK is drawing attention for extending K-pop records on major U.S. and U.K. charts, including Billboard and the Official Charts.
According to Billboard’s latest rankings released on March 9 (local time), “GO,” the title track from the group’s third mini album, “DEADLINE,” debuted at No. 63 on the Billboard Hot 100. It marked BLACKPINK’s 11th career Hot 100 entry, the most ever for a K-pop female artist.
The group also placed No. 13 on Billboard Global (Excl. U.S.). “DEADLINE” previously became BLACKPINK’s fifth career entry on the Billboard 200, underscoring the group’s continued presence in the mainstream pop market.
In the U.K., “GO” ranked No. 44 on the Official Singles Top 100, while “DEADLINE” reached No. 11 on the Official Albums Top 100. Those results gave BLACKPINK its 12th singles chart entry and fourth albums chart entry, setting new records for the most appearances by a K-pop female artist in both categories.
Sales charts also showed strong momentum. “DEADLINE” topped Hanteo’s weekly and monthly charts with just two and a half days of tracking, and it earned a triple crown on Circle Chart. The album sold 1,774,577 copies in its first week, setting a new first-week record for a K-pop girl group.
Released Feb. 27, “DEADLINE” has also drawn praise from major international outlets. Rolling Stone wrote, “BLACKPINK is back at its best,” and Billboard called “GO” “the best song on the album and a track that truly represents BLACKPINK.”
