“Blackpink’s Rosé debuts her single “On
The Ground” at No. 1 on the latest Billboard
Global 200, wasting no time going right to the
top. The immediate win makes Rosé the first solo
South Korean musician, male or female, to rule
over the worldwide ranking.
…Amazingly, Blackpink never reached
No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200, but now Rosé
has. The band came very close when their single
“Lovesick Girls” opened at No. 2 the week their
album appeared on charts everywhere. Their
collaboration with Selena Gomez, “Ice Cream,”
also broke into the top 10 for a short time,
peaking at No. 8.” (McIntyre, 2021)
