Girl group BLACKPINK topped Hanteo's weekly album chart two and a half days after the release of its third mini album "DEADLINE."

According to the Hanteo Chart on the 2nd, "DEADLINE" topped the weekly music chart in the 5th week of February (counted from February 23 to March 1). It topped the chart with just two and a half days of counting after its release at 2 p.m. on February 27.

These records were already predicted from the first day of release. "DEADLINE" sold 1,461,785 copies on the day of its release based on the Hanteo Chart tally, marking a new milestone as the highest daily sales in the history of K-pop girl groups. This is a glimpse of the explosive expectations of fans around the world for the first full album in about three years and five months.

YG said, "Global demand for the album has far exceeded the original expectations, and we are currently working on additional production," adding, "Please look forward to BLACKPINK's new record."

"DEADLINE" settled at the top of the world wide, dominating iTunes album charts in 38 regions, and succeeded in "line up" by reaching the top of both the title song "GO" and the tracks on QQ Music, China's largest music platform. The "GO" music video topped the most popular global daily music video on YouTube's latest chart (2026.02.27).
