With guest spots from Selena Gomez and Cardi B, THE ALBUM is the first full-length studio effort from the powerhouse K-pop quartet. Along with âLovesick Girls,â THE ALBUM features BLACKPINKâs smash hit singles âHow You Like Thatâ and âIce Creamâ (feat. Selena Gomez). Released on June 26, âHow You Like Thatâ won Song of Summer at the 2020 MTV Video Music Awards. The trap-pop anthem also shattered a number of YouTube records (including most views within the first 24 hours for a music video), and charted in 26 countries around the world. Meanwhile, âIce Creamâ debuted at #13 on the Billboard Hot 100 following its August 28 premiere, emerging as the first BLACKPINK single to crack the chartâs top 20. ABOUT BLACKPINK: Since bursting onto the scene in 2016, BLACKPINK have redefined the possibilities of K-pop, transcending all categorization and ascending to global stardom. With their unstoppably catchy single âDDU-DU DDU-DU,â the South Korean quartet broke the record for highest-charting Billboard Hot 100 debut by an all-female K-pop act, while its head-turning video surpassed 10 million views in just six hours and racked up 36.2 million views in one day. Discovered by YG Entertainment, BLACKPINK is comprised of JISOO, JENNIE, ROSÃ and LISA: four immensely charismatic vocalists, dancers, and burgeoning fashion icons. Released in 2016, their debut âSQUARE ONEâ quickly proved their crossover power; in 2018, âSQUARE UPâ climbed to #40 on the Billboard 200 and #1 on the Billboard World Albums chart. Several months after âSQUARE UPâ hit the charts, YG Entertainment and Interscope Records announced a global partnership for BLACKPINK, paving the way for the groupâs international breakthrough. With their EP Kill This Love arriving in April 2019, BLACKPINK further boosted their popularity by successfully completing a world tour and becoming the first K-pop girl group to perform at Coachella, the largest music festival in the U.S.
