On April 5 at 0:00 KST, BIGBANG released their long-awaited comeback song Still Life. The song immediately topped all domestic charts and is currently this year's most-streamed boy group song on MelOn after just 17 days. At the time of writing, Still Life has achieved 82 Perfect All-Kills, as certified by iChart.
However, in addition to topping charts in South Korea, Still Life has done incredibly well globally, proving that BIGBANG's international fanbase is as strong as ever. Still Life charted on 32 different weekly charts around the globe and was certified Golden Diamond on QQ Music, becoming the fastest-selling digital single in China this decade. Still Life is also the first-ever single to sell 1 million copies after the "No More Mass Buying Rule" in China. It achieved this milestone in 30 minutes.

In addition, Still Life is the highest-charting 2022 K-POP song on Billboard Global 200. The song premiered at #9 with just three days of tracking and is currently charting at #32. Still Life has also reached #1 on Billboard K-POP 100.
This is not the first time the group has been featured on the North-American chart. In 2012, BIGBANG made history when their album Alive became the first Korean-language K-POP album to chart on Billboard 200 album chart (#150). In 2016 they repeated the feat with MADE (#172). The success of Still Life is a true testament to BIGBANG's longevity.
Congratulations to BIGBANG for these great achievements!
