More recently, the group has broken another record through the song Sour Candy, which is a collaboration with American pop star Lady Gaga.
According to Forbes, Blackpink and Lady Gaga were able to put the song on the On-Demand Streaming Songs chart, which proved to be quite hard for any South Korean artist, making Blackpink the first-ever girl group to do the feat.
