BLACKPINK unveil their new single “Pink Venom”. Euphoric and empowering, “Pink Venom” is the lead single from Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa’s highly anticipated sophomore album, BORN PINK, due September 16th. The single and album will be supported by a world tour which will touch down on four continents.
In celebration of BLACKPINK’s long-awaited comeback, they lit up the globe from New York to London, Rio, and beyond as part of the “LIGHT UP THE PINK” campaign. Across five continents, landmarks were lit pink and digital projections are being displayed on iconic monuments including the Brooklyn Bridge, London’s Marble Arch, the Tokyo Tower, and more starting at 8 pm local time on Thursday and Friday night. Interscope Records has teamed up with a platform called LANDMARK to create a mobile experience. The platform contains a custom branded map containing 500 hotspots that superfan BLINKs can physically access to unlock exclusive digital content from the band. To complement the LIGHT UP THE PINK physical activation and celebrate the release of ‘Pink Venom’, the locations of the landmarks and billboards will be highlighted on a digital map as the structures are lit up. The experience is available in both English and Korean and is accessible here.
“Pink Venom” by BLACKPINK debuted at #1 on Global Spotify with 7.93 million streams. It becomes the first song by a girl group and the first Korean song to ever debut at the top.
BLACKPINK is also the biggest gainer on Spotify’s Daily Top Artists Global chart, jumping 122 spots to a new peak of #11. It becomes the highest peak by a girl group in the platform’s history.
The most popular girl group on the planet will hit the road on a world tour predicted to be attended by more than 1.5 million people. It kicks off in Seoul, South Korea, on October 15th and then visits the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Saudi Arabia, and Singapore, among others, before landing in New Zealand on June 21, 2023.
