Not even a month after scoring their first top 40 hit courtesy of their assistant role on Lady Gaga‘s ‘Sour Candy’ (found aboard her latest chart-topping album, ‘Chromatica’), BLACKPINK circles back to make history as leaders.
It’s pretty clear their legion of dedicated fans are liking their new single, ‘How You Like That,’ as the tune has made a handsome #33 premiere on this week’s Billboard Hot 100. The debut not only comes as the highest rung reached of their career, but also the highest for any K-Pop girl group to date. What’s more, the song is the first top 40 entry for any girl group since Fifth Harmony last visited with 2016’s ‘All In My Head.’
That’s not the only history-making feat accomplished by the ladies this week, however.
Look inside for more and see who joins them in the top 40 on this week’s ‘Chart Check: Hot 100’ edition:
“Blackpink made waves with their hit new single “How You Like That,” and the success reflected on the charts. The confidence-filled tune became the highest charting single by a girl group in Digital Song Sales chart history.
The song’s placement on the chart now ties a record set by Pussycat Dolls‘ “Don’t Cha” (2005) and The Chicks‘ “Not Ready to Make Nice” (2007).”
The feat above even earned a shout out from PCD:

So they are just going to steal Danity Kane’s picture idea?

They are officially the first K-Pop act I genuinely like as I jam to Sour Candy. 🙂
