Since debuting on Aug. 8, 2016, BLACKPINK has been busy not only making music, but repeatedly collecting accolades. Besides climbing the charts with the group’s well-received releases and catchy tunes, the quartet of LISA, JENNIE, ROSÉ and JISOO has been raking in numerous firsts as an all-female K-pop group beloved all over the world.
Billboard charts records? Check! First K-pop girl group to not only perform at Coachella, but first Asian act to headline the festival? Done! New Guinness World Records? Yep! Surpassing Justin Bieber in YouTube subscribers? You know it! Becoming the first artist to surpass 100 million subscribers on the video platform? Yep! And that’s just several of the notable accomplishments the four ladies of BLACKPINK have notched on their belts in just a few short years. Even more impressive? Many of those achievements came about even before their debut studio album — titled The Album — arrived in October 2020.
“It’s very surprising to us. All the records are the results of our fans, BLINKs, and their unconditional support,” Jennie told Grammy.com of the group’s success in September 2020. “Every day we try to acknowledge how grateful we are, but more than the pressure, we are ready to give them back as much as they gave us. It just gives us more motivation to go further than we ever dreamed of.”
And BLACKPINK is primed to knock down even more records after they regrouped in 2025 to embark on the DEADLINE World Tour, followed by the release of album DEADLINE in 2026, all after taking some time apart to pursue solo projects.
As the global K-pop superstar group marks a decade since its 2016 debut with single album Square One — which features “Whistle” and “Boombayah” — see what BLACKPINK has managed to accomplish together thus far as a quartet.
