Do you know that Blackpink was the first KPOP group to....

Yep, and this is just another one of their "first" ww achievements. That's why I say, no 3rd gen group paved the way for BP!

1st and 2nd gen did great and BP debuted in the right time with the right music and helped it kpop become more known and liked ww!

Blackpink have break so many records can not even remember half of them

Quote from Slayurfaves

exactly,

and even in 2017 and 2018 bp had the most unique listeners on melon. Charts don't mean everything ( some can be deceiving) when the impact is there

In 2016 alone they did some ww achievements that no other kpop group did, 2017 they entered Spotify global and was under hot100 with their cutest song, they were already getting there and thanks to the members and their music they achieved a lot of nice records ww on their own merit!

Some people just aren't ready to face the truth. BP has been the #1 biggest girl group overall from the moment they debuted and they still are today.

They were already so dominant internationally from the start, crazy

That's just what BLACKPINK does.
