It is the group’s seventh dance video to reach the milestone and achieved the feat in almost 3 1/2 years.
“Lovesick Girls” fronted Blackpink's first full album “The Album” and debuted on Billboard’s Hot 100 at No. 59. The LP hit both the Billboard 200 and the UK’s Official albums chart at No. 2 and stayed on for 10 and seven weeks in a row, respectively.
Separately, the four members are attending Paris Fashion Week -- Jennie went all black for Chanel, and Rose was draped in see-through goddess gown for Saint Laurent while Jisoo posed cute for Dior sporting braided pigtails. Lisa stole the spotlight at Louis Vuitton, raising speculation that she might ditch Celine.
