According to Koreaboo, since 2023, the "music warehouse" theme of the Blackpink group has always received much attention from the public. According to statistics, the entire Blackpink group only has about 29 songs if only counting songs released by album/single under the name Blackpink.
As of January 2026, according to Koreaboo, if only counting Blackpink's official releases through albums and digital singles, the number is still only around more than 30 songs. This information continues to receive public attention after more information about the upcoming mini album "DEADLINE".
On January 22, some widely shared sources said that the EP "DEADLINE" will have 5 songs, including "JUMP" previously released. The fact that the entire mini album "only has 5 songs" makes many people unbelievable and think that, if adding up this comeback, the total number of songs of Blackpink in 10 years of operation is still not much compared to the expectations for a global group.

In the opposite direction, many opinions defend the group and say that the release speed is greatly influenced by the management company's orientation. Many people believe that the responsibility lies with YG Entertainment, and also cite the fact that when members promote solo activities, the number of personal songs combined has exceeded the release milestone under the group's name.
Previously, Korean media reported that the mini album "DEADLINE" was scheduled to be released on February 27, 2026, marking Blackpink's notable comeback after a long period of focusing on personal schedules.
Currently, Blackpink members are busy with a world tour. After Tokyo Dome, Blackpink will bring the tour to the final stage with 3 concert nights at Kai Tak Stadium (Hong Kong, China) from January 24 to 26.
