In 2022, they achieved the feat of being the first female K-Pop group to top the UK and US album charts. Additionally, their track "How You Like That" set a record as the most viewed video on YouTube within 24 hours in 2020. In 2019, Blackpink also made history as the first female K-Pop group to perform at Coachella and other US festivals.
