BLACKPINK is undoubtedly the biggest K-pop girl group in the world. The four-member band from South Korea has numerous achievements under its belt. Whether it is breaking records or starting new trends, the megastars always prove why they are the Queens of K-pop.

In addition, "The Album", their studio album surpassed 1 million stock pre-orders, giving them yet another first in their achievements.

Not only albums, but BLACKPINK merch also sells out fast. In fact, the products that the girls are seen wearing or using also vanishes fast from the market, such is their popularity.

3) Youtube Records

The four-member BLACKPINK is the first-ever K-pop band to get 1 billion YouTube views on their music video for "Ddu-Du Ddu-Du". The quartet also holds the record of being the artist with the most YouTube subscribers on YouTube, defeating even Justin Bieber.

At all points of their successful journey, the girls always thank their fandom BLINKS for making all this possible and for their YouTube success.

The K-pop queens became the first female group to top the Billboard Artist 100 chart in the US.
