Each new song released, including 'Sour Candy' with pop star Lady Gaga in May, 'How You Like That' in June, 'Ice Cream' with pop star Selena Gomez in August and 'THE ALBUM', their first full-length album in four years in October, has written a new history for K-Pop girl groups.
In fact, thanks to these achievements, BLACKPINK was recently ranked as the most influential pop star in the world by Bloomberg. They are the first Asian singers to be named, beating out prominent pop stars such as Cardi B and Justin Bieber.
