The number of BLACKPINK’s songs in their 6th year disappoints fans + shocking comparison with Taylor Swift
Fans are complaining about the number of songs in BLACKPINK’s upcoming full album after a 2-year hiatus.
BLACKPINK will release their 2nd full-length album “BORN PINK” on September 16th at 1 PM KST. “BORN PINK” consists of a total of 8 tracks. In addition to the pre-released single “Pink Venom”, the tracklist includes the title track “Shut Down”, “Typa Girl”, “Yeah Yeah Yeah”, “Hard to Love”, “The Happiest Girl”, “Tally”, and “Ready For Love”.
As this is BLACKPINK’s first comeback after a hiatus from group activities that lasted a year and 10 months, many fans are disappointed at the small number of songs for a full album. There are 8 tracks included in “BORN PINK”, but except for the songs that have already been released (“Pink Venom”, “Ready For Love”), there are only 6 new songs.
Netizens have proved how shocking the number of BLACKPINK songs within 6 years is by comparing the group’s entire discography to the tracklist of Taylor Swift’s 2021 album “Red (Taylor’s Version)”.
Accordingly, BLACKPINK has released a total of 32 songs since their debut in 2016. Excluding feature songs that are not officially included in BLACKPINK’s albums and songs used only in advertisements, the number is lowered to 29.
On the other hand, Taylor Swift’s album “Red (Taylor’s Version)” contains a whopping 30 songs.
Netizens left comments as they sympathize with BLACKPINK fans’ frustration over the number of songs:
- “Comparing the number of BLACKPINK songs to that of TWICE and Red Velvet who debuted around the same time, the difference is shocking”
- “BLACKPINK has many unreleased songs. What’s stopping YG from releasing them?”
- “This means their concert set list may overlap a bit”
After releasing their 2nd full album “BORN PINK”, BLACKPINK will start their world tour right away. Starting with Seoul on October 15th and 16th, BLACKPINK is set to meet a total of 1.5 million fans in North America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania.
