The biggest K-Pop girl group at the moment is BLACKPINK. On the Billboard 200 chart, "The Album" debuted at number two, with 110,000 units moved, becoming the highest-charting female Korean album and the highest-charting album by an all-female group since Danity Kane's "Welcome to the Dollhouse" in 2008. Elsewhere, The Album reached number one in New Zealand and opened inside the top ten in Australia, Belgium, Germany, Ireland, Lithuania, Norway, Scotland, Slovakia, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.
"THE ALBUM" reached the top of the iTunes album charts in 57 countries worldwide right after the album's release on the 2nd. Also, it ranked first in the US Billboard 'Artist 100' chart released on the 13th (local time) and was the first K-pop girl group to upload two songs simultaneously on the Billboard main single chart "Hot 100."
The record sales volume is also setting a new record for K-pop girl groups. BLACKPINK's "THE ALBUM" was ranked 2nd on the Billboard's main album chart, 'Billboard 200', and ranked 2nd on the UK official album chart released on the 9th (local time), showing an unrivaled move back and forth across the world's two pop charts.
According to YG Entertainment, Blackpink confirmed their appearance on ABC's morning talk show 'Good Morning America' (GMA), which will be broadcast on the morning of the 21st October 2020 (local time).
