BLACKPINK continues their record-breaking streak. Just days after becoming the first artist to hit 100 million YouTube subscribers, the group has now shattered first-day sales records with their comeback mini album "DEADLINE."

Released February 27 at 2 p.m. KST, "DEADLINE" and its title track "GO" moved an impressive 1,461,785 copies on Hanteo Chart in just 24 hours. This marks the highest first-day sales figure for any girl group in the chart's history, cementing BLACKPINK's commercial dominance in the industry.

The timing couldn't be better for the quartet. Their YouTube subscriber milestone last week already had fans celebrating, and this sales achievement proves their fanbase remains as dedicated as ever. The "DEADLINE" era represents BLACKPINK's first group comeback in nearly two years, following individual member activities including Rosé's viral collaboration "APT."

Hanteo Chart tracks physical album sales in real-time, making their first-day numbers particularly significant. The previous girl group record holder was not specified, but BLACKPINK's figure represents a substantial jump that reflects both their global reach and the anticipation surrounding their return.

"GO" serves as the lead single from the mini album, though specific details about the track's concept and additional album content weren't provided in initial reports. What's clear is that BLACKPINK's ability to break records across different metrics - from streaming platforms to physical sales - demonstrates their continued relevance in an increasingly competitive K-pop landscape.

The achievement also highlights the strength of physical album sales in the digital age, particularly for established acts with loyal fanbases. As BLACKPINK moves forward with "DEADLINE" promotions, this record-setting start suggests their comeback era is off to a powerful beginning that matches the momentum from their recent YouTube milestone.
