Black Pink's 'Whistle' makes 'Entertainment Weekly' list of '8 hot under-the-radar singles'

Black Pink's debut track "Whistle" has made 'Entertainment Weekly's list of the '8 hot under-the-radar singles from emerging artists you need to hear now.'

Black Pink made the list alongside artists Tkay MaidzaLeikeli47Nick GrantmachineheartCappaYoungr, and Adiam. Though there are some international artists in the mix, the YG Entertainment girl group are the only ones to represent Asia. 

'Entertainment Weekly' said of Black Pink:

"All-female girl groups are everywhere in South Korea, but the bass-heavy sounds of the four-piece supergroup BLACKPINK stand out in a big way. With opening lyrics like "Hey boy. Make ya whistle like a missile," the quartet's latest single promises an unabashedly playful ride from the start. The song quickly turns up the heat, layering irresistible finger snaps, a saccharine bridge, electric guitar riffs, mammoth bass, and, of course, cow bell-accompanied whistles. The track, taken from the ladies' debut EP, Square One, peaked at No. 1 in South Korea, and it wouldn't sound entirely out of place occupying a similarly lofty position on American charts, either."
