‘Queens of kpop': BLACKPINK's Jump secures No.1 spot in US iTunes, takes top spot in 47 countries
BLACKPINK remains only girl group to top iTunes US chart
BLACKPINK 's Jump song hopped onto the No. 1 spot in iTunes US chart within hours of its official release. It is a laudable milestone as no other girl group has attained such a feat. Notably, the K-pop stars extended their own record with the overseas chart achievement. They previously made the record in 2022 with their BORN PINK track Pink Venom. Jump is also set to create the level of impact Pink Venom did, and potentially even outdo it.
BLACKPINK's Jump topped iTunes charts in 47 countries
Not just in the US, the K-pop quartet Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa, claimed the #1 spot on iTunes charts in as many as 47 countries. The news was shared by BLACKPINK's agency YG Entertainment on July 12. Jump also debuted at No. 1 on the Worldwide iTunes Song Chart. Fans said "THEY'RE HERE TO DOMINATE" and labelled them as "queens of kpop."
The achievement is even more iconic as it's been just over a day since Jump release. The impressive feat showcased the girl group's strong fanbase and reinforced their influence in the global music scene.
About Jump music video
Released on Friday, July 11, Jump marks a significant comeback for the group, as they haven't had a full-group release in two years and 10 months. Their last full-length album Born Pink was dropped in September 2022. Jump's massive success underscored BLACKPINK's enduring global appeal and influence in the music industry.
The impact of JUMP extends far beyond iTunes, with the song securing platinum certification on China's QQ Music and topping Japan's AWA Hot Trending Songs chart. This solidifies BLACKPINK's position as a leading force in the Asian music scene.

‘One last time': BLACKPINK's Lisa teases harrowing breakup with Kentaro Sakaguchi in Dream short film, Watch
Teasing an emotional journey for her and a past lover, BLACKPINK 's Lisa has confirmed her collaboration with Japanese actor Kentaro Sakaguchi. After multiple rounds of dating rumors and questions about how their friendship came to be, the singer and the actor have revealed their plans to feature in a music video for the Thai star's solo song Dream, which was released earlier this year as a part of her solo album, Alter Ego. Lisa and Kentaro Sakaguchi paint an agonizing love story in Dream The trailer, which was released on August 12, dug deeper into the very painful breakup that is unfolding as a storyline in the song. Previously, a photo showed the actress as the protagonist hugging a man with whom she shared a matching couple ring. In today's trailer, Kentaro Sakaguchi's role was confirmed with a better peek at the character he is likely to play. Talking in his deep voice in Japanese, emotional words of parting appeared on the screen where he said, 'We ended, just like that. All good things must come to an end, and so did we. Nothing in this world can rewind time. So all I could do was to just look at you. One last time. I couldn't do anything.' The visuals showed them in a dreamy set-up as a loved-up couple, dating and blissful in each other's presence. Over many moments, their love story plays out in the trailer as slowly their fun times with each other turn into instances of silence as despite every shred of himself that wanted to stop her, he could not. Their break-up takes the center stage in the trailer, and an emotional, heartfelt story, rumored to have been inspired by personal life, is expected to run its course via the short film.
