BLACKPINK (블랙핑크) just wrote another chapter in the record books. On March 10, 2026, Billboard confirmed that the group's lead single "GO" debuted at No. 63 on the Hot 100, making them the first female K-pop act to land 11 entries on the chart. The previous record of 10 entries was also BLACKPINK's own, meaning they broke their own benchmark in the same chart cycle as their comeback. "GO" is the title track from the group's third EP DEADLINE, released February 27, 2026, through YG Entertainment. It follows pre-release single "JUMP," which had already reached No. 28 on the Hot 100 before the full EP dropped. In a market where most K-pop acts celebrate a single Hot 100 entry as a career milestone, 11 entries across eight years puts BLACKPINK in a category that currently contains no other K-pop girl group in the chart's history. There is no qualifier needed anymore.

The Record, By the Numbers

"GO," the title track from BLACKPINK's third EP DEADLINE, entered the Hot 100 at No. 63 during the chart week dated March 15, 2026. That is their 11th song on the chart overall, a number that stands unmatched among any female K-pop artist in the Hot 100's history. The previous record, 10 entries, was held by BLACKPINK themselves.

Beyond the Hot 100, the song opened strong across every major tracking surface. "GO" debuted at No. 13 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart and No. 17 on the Billboard Global 200. In the UK, it entered the Official Singles Chart at No. 44, BLACKPINK's 12th entry on that ranking, also a record for K-pop female acts.

The album itself had already set the table. DEADLINE debuted at No. 8 on the Billboard 200, their third top-10 album on that chart, and hit No. 11 on the UK Official Albums Chart, their fourth UK album entry. BLACKPINK also re-entered the Billboard Artist 100 at No. 11, their 34th week on the chart.

DEADLINE's Commercial Muscle

The chart performance does not exist in a vacuum. DEADLINE moved 1.77 million physical copies in its first week of release, according to Hanteo's certified first-week tracking data, setting a new first-week sales record for a K-pop girl group. It bested the previous benchmarks set by the group's own Born Pink and several more recent releases, and it did so while BLACKPINK had already been operating at a historic scale on YouTube heading into the release cycle.

"GO" also topped the YouTube Global Weekly Top Songs chart for the week of February 27 through March 5, per YouTube's official weekly chart data, marking BLACKPINK's first YouTube Global chart topper since the Born Pink era in 2022. Fan communities on X and Weverse lit up immediately, with BLINKs tracking chart movements across every territory in real time. The energy around this era has been different from a typical BLACKPINK comeback cycle: the group is four years older, two of the four members have completed solo album projects, and their audience has followed them through a two-year hiatus and a partial re-signing process at YG Entertainment that was itself a major topic of fan conversation. The commercial results across streaming, physical sales, and chart performance suggest that loyalty did not erode during the break. If anything, the wait sharpened demand.

BLACKPINK's Full Hot 100 History

Eleven entries is a number worth walking through. It started in 2018 with "DDU-DU DDU-DU" (No. 55), which proved a K-pop girl group could move the Hot 100 at all. From there: "Kiss and Make Up" with Dua Lipa (No. 93), "Kill This Love" (No. 41), "Sour Candy" with Lady Gaga (No. 33), "How You Like That" (No. 33), "Ice Cream" with Selena Gomez (No. 13), "Lovesick Girls" (No. 59), "Pink Venom" (No. 22), "Shut Down" (No. 25), "JUMP" (No. 28), and now "GO" at No. 63.

Peak positions tell one story, but breadth tells another. Across eight years and three distinct comeback eras, Jennie, Jisoo, Lisa, and Rosé have charted more consistently than any K-pop girl group before them. The solo careers and the hiatus years between 2023 and 2025 never broke the thread. "GO" is the proof.

What Comes Next

No formal tour dates for 2026 have been confirmed as of this writing, though YG Entertainment has indicated live performances are part of the DEADLINE rollout. Given the group's current dominance across Korean music shows, a world tour announcement feels like a matter of when, not if. At 11 Hot 100 entries and counting, the argument for BLACKPINK as the most globally impactful female K-pop act in history is no longer an argument. It is a fact sheet.
