This will mark BLACKPINKâs first comeback in approximately one year and 10 months since they released their first studio-length album âTHE ALBUMâ in 2020 along with the title track âHow You Like Thatâ and the special collaboration song âIce Cream.â
Are you excited about BLACKPINKâs return?
YG Entertainment announced that the quartet — Jisoo, Jennie, RosĂ©, and Lisa — are in the “final stages of recording a new album.”
The release promised an international tour by the end of the year that would be the âlargest world tour in the history of a K-pop girl group.
The K-pop foursome released their first full-length album titled THE ALBUM via Interscope in October 2020. The project peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and spent two weeks at No. 1 on the Top Album Sales chart. BLACKPINK has landed seven songs on the Billboard Hot 100, including the top 20 hits âIce Creamâ with Selena Gomez and a pair of top 40s: âSour Candyâ with Lady Gaga and âHow You Like That.â

Last week, BLACKPINK became the first musical act to reach 75 million subscribers on YouTube. The group earned the title of most-subscribed artist on the platform in September 2021, when they surpassed the 65.5 million mark and took over the lead from Justin Bieber.
BLACKPINK was featured on the cover of Billboard magazine, where they laid out their plans for a U.S. takeover.
âYou donât have to understand Korean to understand the music, the visuals, the vibe,â Jisoo told Billboard at the time. Looks like she was right.
