Recently announced as a headliner on Coachella 2023 – alongside Frank Ocean and Bad Bunny – BLACKPINK are on a meteoric rise, becoming the first ever K-pop act to headline the festival. They have taken on stages around the world, including multiple sold out nights at London’s iconic O2 Arena. Delivering striking live performances on US television programs Jimmy Kimmel Live!, James Corden, The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and more, BLACKPINK are without doubt one of the world’s most exciting music acts.
Following the release of their recent single, ‘Pink Venom’, the record-breaking group made history with the biggest release by a female group or solo artist this decade. The song debuted at No.1 on Spotify’s global top songs chart and amassed over 7.9M streams within the first 24 hours. On YouTube, the official music video reached 100M views faster than any video by a female group ever, with 90.4M views being within the first 24 hours. With close to 510M views, ‘Pink Venom’ was the biggest YouTube debut of 2022.
They are the most-subscribed music act on YouTube with over 84 million followers and have set two Guinness World Records including most-viewed music video within the first 24 hours of release and earned the status of most- followed girl group on Spotify.

ABOUT BLACKPINK
One of the most massively successful K-pop groups in music history, BLACKPINK have redefined the global pop landscape since first bursting onto the scene in 2016. Along with boasting the #1 most-subscribed artist channel on YouTube, the South Korean quartet has achieved such boundary-defying milestones as scoring the highest-charting album by a female group in over a decade and becoming the first K-pop girl group ever to perform at Coachella (the largest music festival in the U.S.). Comprised of JISOO, JENNIE, ROSÉ and LISA—all immensely charismatic vocalists, dancers, and fast-rising fashion icons—BLACKPINK began their meteoric rise with their 2016 debut “SQUARE ONE” and further proved their crossover power with “SQUARE UP” (a 2018 release that quickly cracked the Billboard 200).
Soon after signing with Interscope Records through a global partnership with YG Entertainment, the group made their full-length debut with 2020’s immediately iconic THE ALBUM. THE ALBUM shot to #2 on the Billboard 200 and landed three singles on the Billboard Hot 100: “How You Like That” (the iconic single that shattered several YouTube records, including fastest video to cross 150 million views), “Ice Cream” (a collaboration with Selena Gomez that broke the record for highest-charting female K-pop group on the Hot 100), and “Lovesick Girls” (a track that’s sold over 1.4 million copies worldwide, making BLACKPINK the first K-pop girl group to sell over a million units). Through the years, BLACKPINK have also garnered a number of major awards (including three E! People’s Choice Awards and most recently awarded Best Metaverse Performance at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards where Lisa also made history as first K-pop soloist to win Best K-pop Act), collaborated with superstars like Dua Lipa and Lady Gaga, performed on “The Tonight Show,” and starred in BLACKPINK: Light Up the Sky (a 2020 film hailed by the New York Times as an “endearing documentary that emphasizes each member’s individuality”). With close to 23 million monthly listeners on Spotify, BLACKPINK delivered their wildly anticipated sophomore album BORN PINK last September to global critical acclaim.
