The K-pop act is on fire on local and international charts, which include topping the iTunes chart in 18 countries. It has also featured on the “Best of the Week” list by Apple Music.

On Tuesday, Black Pink’s music video for the song reached 30 million views on YouTube, faster than any other K-pop group in history.
