Only a week after coming back into the K-Pop scene, BLACKPINK became the second best-selling girl group of 2018. The group continues to set and break records even today!

As for YG’s next artist to take #1, fans look forward to Seungri‘s solo, “1, 2, 3!” to be released July 20th. Will he be the next in line to continue the winning streak for YG Entertainment?
