This achievement makes the group the first girl group in history to have a studio album reach this impressive milestone.
Released in 2020, The Album marks a maturity in Blackpink's music, combining pop, EDM, R&B, hip hop and rock. The album includes 8 songs, including global hits such as: "How You Like That", "Ice Cream" (co-operated with Selena Gomez) and "Lovesick Girls". Not only did it reach high positions on the Billboard 200 and UK Albums Chart, the album also became an iconic product that brought Blackpink into the ranks of the most influential female artists in the world.
The Album's reach of more than 4 billion streams is not only the pride of the Blink fan community but also a testament to the strong influence of K-pop on the international music map. In the context of girl groups often having difficulty maintaining long-term appeal on global platforms, this achievement shows the endurance and undying influence of Blackpink after 9 years of operation.
This milestone also shows that Korean music has crossed the language barrier, reaching a global audience with its creativity and unique identity. Currently, Blackpink is said to be preparing for their next music project, as information about the group starting to film a new MV has been widely spread.
