BLACKPINK topped the US Billboard Global 200 Chart for 2 weeks in a row, “First time for a K-pop girl group”
With their pre-release single “Pink Venom”, BLACKPINK became the first Kpop girl group to top the Billboard Global 200 Chart for 2 consecutive weeks.
According to the latest chart released by Billboard on its official website and SNS on September 6th (local time), BLACKPINK’s “Pink Venom” took first place on both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global (Excl. US) charts.
“BLACKPINK’s ‘Pink Venom’ adds a second week at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200, as the South Korean act’s first leader on the list drew 108.4 million streams (down 49%) and sold 7,000 downloads (down 81%) worldwide in the Aug. 26-Sept. 1 tracking week,” says Billboard.
BLACKPINK also took the top spot on the Billboard chart last week, rewriting the top ranking of Kpop girl groups. With this, they have broken a personal record, as their previous title, “Lovesick Girls”, which was released in October 2022, landed at No.2 on the Billboard Global 200 chart and No.22 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
BLACKPINK is showing off their overwhelming presence not only on Billboard but also on various other global charts. On the Spotify Top Songs Global Weekly Chart, it ranked 2nd, and in the UK Official Singles Chart, it ranked 22nd, maintaining its top position for two weeks after its first entry.
The music video also garnered a total of 90.4 million views on YouTube within 24 hours of release, breaking the world record for a female artist. After reaching 100 million views at the fastest speed (29 hours 35 minutes) among K-pop girl groups, the MV for “Pink Venom” surpassed 200 million views in 7 days and a half day.
With this momentum, BLACKPINK will release their second full-length album “BORN PINK” at 1 p.m. on September 16th (KST). Thanks to the hot popularity of the pre-release song “Pink Venom”, attention is focused not only on the new music, but also on various new record expected to be created through the title song “Shut Down.”
