Blackpink’s ‘Kill This Love’ Has Now Spent A Full Year On The World Songs Chart

As fans wait for new music from Blackpink, one of the most successful K-pop girl groups of all time, they continue to stream and buy their favorite tunes from the outfit. Now, they have purchased enough copies of one of the band’s most beloved tracks to help it reach a very special, very rare milestone in the U.S.

Blackpink’s single “Kill This Love” is down to No. 19 on Billboard’s World Digital Song Sales chart this week, the list that ranks the bestselling “world” (essentially meaning foreign, but not performed in Spanish) tracks in the United States every tracking period. The cut has now spent 52 weeks, or exactly one year, on the tally, which remains a feat that very few Korean artists have been able to manage in the history of the chart. In fact, the group is just the seventh act from South Korea to hit that mark.

“Kill This Love” served as the lead single from Blackpink’s EP of the same name, which was released in April 2019. The track quickly worked its way to No. 1 on the World Digital Song Sales chart, becoming the band’s fifth and most recent ruler. In addition to sitting on top of the world-only tally, the cut also found its way to the Hot 100, where it rose as high as No. 41, narrowly missing out on becoming their first top 40 hit. It may not have established itself as a real smash, but it does hold as Blackpink’s highest-charting placement on the all-genre all-language ranking.

Impressively, “Kill This Love” is not Blackpink’s first song to reach a full year on the World Digital Song Sales chart. Not long ago, their previous blockbuster “Ddu-Du Ddu-Du” made it to the milestone and then quickly passed it. The track, which is not charting any longer, has spent almost a year and a half somewhere on the list.

“Kill This Love” is still performing well, especially considering how long it has been out and how many copies it has already sold, but it probably isn’t done charting yet. In fact, fans may not move on until they have new tunes from the group, and perhaps not even then.
