As such, BLACKPINK's discography consists of the albums they dropped since their debut in 2016, including single albums, mini-albums and studio albums. But, the post made on the online community is mainly focused on their Korean and English releases only.
Based on the list, Rosé, Lisa, Jennie and Jisoo have one studio album, three single albums and two mini-albums. The main topic, however, is the total number of songs that the quartet has released to date.
Referring to the discography, the netizen who made the post pointed out that BLACKPINK only has a total of 21 songs, including their B-side tracks. "This means all their songs won't even fill one whole page. But it's amazing that the group still exists," the netizen added.

They further stated that it's "unusual" for a girl group that has been in the music scene for years having less than 30 tracks.
As of writing, the post about BLACKPINK's discography has garnered more than 78,000 views and lots of comments have also been left. While some commented that BLACKPINK deserves to showcase their talent more through further releases, the others say that it might be a concept of "quality over quantity."
