The group BLACKPINK (Ji-Soo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa) set another new milestone by breaking the K-pop girl group's initial record with their third mini album [DEADLINE].
According to Hanteo Chart on the 6th, a total of 1,774,577 copies of Black Pink's third mini album [DEADLINE] were sold from February 27 to March 5. This is the highest initial record in the history of K-pop girl groups and an increase of 230,000 copies compared to the previous one [BORN PINK].
[DEADLINE] gave an early green light to its popularity with pre-orders reaching nearly 1.9 million units during the pre-sale period alone. Since then, K-pop girl groups have sold 1,461,785 copies on the first day of their release, breaking their highest daily sales, and topping the weekly and monthly charts of Hanteo with only two and a half days of tallying, and winning three titles in the circle chart.
As a leading player in the global music market, it is a point where you can realize the enormous influence of Black Pink and the explosive firepower of the core fandom that has been accumulated so far. In addition, the final sales volume is expected to increase further as global demand for the album exceeds expectations and additional production is underway.
BLACKPINK is also prominent in various global charts. [DEADLINE] topped the world wide chart, topping the iTunes album chart in 38 regions, and the music video for the title song "GO" became the number one YouTube Worldwide Trending and the "most watched video in 24 hours" shortly after its release.
Leading foreign media also focused on [DEADLINE] and praised it. Rolling Stone praised Black Pink, saying, "Black Pink is back in its best heyday," adding, "The four members have a clear personality and showed off their presence in the way Black Pink does best." Billboard praised the title song "GO" as "the best song in the album and a song that truly represents Black Pink."
