BLACKPINK’s ‘THE GIRLS’ Tops iTunes Charts In 30 Countries, Even As A Game OST

The group BLACKPINK once again demonstrated its global influence by enthralling admirers with its game’s original soundtrack.

Blackpink published the OST ‘THE GIRLS’ on the 25th of last month via the mobile game ‘Blackpink the Game’, which is based on the group’s intellectual property. This song contains a message about living an independent and courageous existence, and members Jennie and Rosé contributed to the song’s writing and composition, garnering attention.

Thanks to the positive reviews from music fans who say that Blackpink’s powerful rap and vocals combined with rhythmical and powerful sound are highly addictive, the song is garnering attention as it stands out on various global charts.

Upon its publication, ‘THE GIRLS’ dominated the iTunes Song Chart in thirty countries and topped the global charts. Spotify, the largest music streaming platform in the world, debuted at number 45 on the Daily Top Song Chart and also successfully established itself on the Weekly Top Song Chart, preserving consistent performance.

It is extremely uncommon for a game OST to accomplish such results without any formal activities or stages. This demonstrates not only Blackpink’s solid position in the mainstream musical market, but also the listeners’ unwavering confidence in their music.

Its YouTube notoriety is also enormous. Despite the fact that the ‘THE GIRLS’ music video is a 3D avatar video in which the members do not appear in person, it ranked fourth on the ‘Global YouTube Song Top 100 Chart’ (2023.08.25 2023.08.31) and is spreading at the same rate as the active song. The present number of views exceeds 21.14 million, indicating an extended period of popularity.

‘BLACKPINK WORLD TOUR [BORN PINK]’ is attracting approximately 1.75 million viewers across North America, Europe, Asia, Oceania, and the Middle East, making it the largest world tour by a K-pop female group. On September 16th and 17th, they plan to conduct a concert at Gocheok Dome in Seoul, a first for a K-pop girl group, to celebrate the spectacular conclusion of their world tour.
