BLACKPINK is showing its presence as a representative artist who feeds YG Entertainment, from world tours to Jisoo's solo activities.
Blackpink's global sales volume
According to foreign media on the 25th, BLACKPINK's world tour 'Born pink' became the concert with the highest sales among female groups. BLACKPINK earned $78.48 million (104.8 billion won) from the world tour that started last October. This is a record that surpasses the previous record of 78.2 million dollars (KRW 104.4 billion) by the Spice Girls.
In particular, this record is a tally of profits for two months after Blackpink's world tour was held. It is expected to greatly exceed the record of the Spice Girls in the future in that revenue from performances held this year is not included.
Previously, YG Entertainment announced about Blackpink's world tour that it would be the largest ever for a K-pop girl group. In fact, they mobilized about 1.5 million viewers last year by touring North America with 14 concerts in 7 cities and Europe tour with 10 concerts in 7 cities.
Among them, BLACKPINK is steadily expanding its activities besides the world tour. Recently, he was selected as the first K-POP artist headliner to perform at the largest music festival in the United States, the 'Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival' (hereafter referred to as the Coachella Festival).
In this performance, Blackpink imprinted their identity as a K-POP girl group through a hanok set, hanbok costumes embroidered with mother-of-pearl, a performance using fan dance movements, and Jisoo's solo stage back screen reinterpreting Korean door bars. As a result, foreign media outlets such as CNN and The Guardian highly praised Blackpink's Coachella performance.
BLACKPINK Jisoo solo album released
ot only that, Blackpink's Jisoo released her latest solo album and challenged herself to stand alone. Jisoo, who marked the end of Blackpink's solo project, released his first solo album [ME] (Me) and received a good response with the title song 'Flower'.
This is more clearly revealed through grades such as album sales figures. From March 31st to April 6th, a total of 1,172,351 copies of Jisoo's solo album were sold, and the number of pre-orders alone exceeded 1,310,000. She recorded the highest sales among K-pop female solo artists.
In addition, according to the latest chart released by Billboard in the US on the 17th (local time), the title song 'FLOWER' of Jisoo's first solo album [ME] is on the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global 200 charts. It ranked 11th and 6th on the Global Excl. U.S.) chart, respectively. It was also listed on the UK Official Chart and the Spotify Top Song Global Weekly Chart.
As such, BLACKPINK is active as the first starter responsible for YG Entertainment's revenue, succeeding in her solo activities as well as going on a world tour. In addition to this, Blackpink's global wide march is expected to continue as they are scheduled to perform as a headliner at the 'Hyde Park British Summertime Festival' in the UK in July.
