Amidst the continual evolution of the K-pop scene, very few groups have made as significant and influential a mark as BLACKPINK.
This female quartet, renowned for their beauty, talent, and consistent success on music charts and sales, has constantly shifted the paradigm of what it means to be a global superstar breaking the difficult barrier of K-pop by surpassing the records of pop legends Little Mix, Fifth Harmony, Destiny's Child, and Spice Girls and also establishing himself as one of the most notable artists of this decade.
Their dominance and extraordinary results on all Billboard charts over the years is one of the aspects most applauded by netizens since, even during their group hiatus times, they remained a force to be reckoned with. Now their highly acclaimed "Born Pink" world tour has earned an important place within Billboard's annual year-end lists.
Even with only 29 of their 66 shows from the "Born Pink" World Tour included in the count, BLACKPINK has set a new benchmark in the K-pop industry by ranking as the top K-pop act on the 2023 Billboard's Year-End Top Tours chart. They achieved an impressive gross of $148.3 million from these 29 shows, attracting an audience of 703,000. This significant accomplishment places them among the top 10 global artists with the most successful tours of the year, a feat that has sparked a worldwide trend of congratulatory messages from their enthusiastic fanbase. Their position on the chart is only surpassed by BTS, who secured the third spot on the 2019 Billboard's Year-End Top Tours Chart albeit with 42 shows.
