BLACKPINK continues to break records and solidify their position as global icons, achieving a spot on Billboard's 2025 Honour List as the only K-Pop group to do so. This accomplishment underscores their immense influence and impact on the global music scene.
Individually, the members have also garnered significant recognition. Rosé was crowned Billboard's No. 1 Global Artist of 2025, a testament to her successful solo endeavors. Her debut solo album, "Rosie," and the hit single "APT," featuring Bruno Mars, achieved phenomenal success. "APT" peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and remained on the chart for 45 weeks, becoming the longest-running K-Pop song in Billboard Hot 100 history. The song also reached number one on both the Billboard Global 200 and the Billboard Global Excal US charts. Rosé's success has led to her becoming the first lead K-pop artist to receive nominations in the big six categories at the Grammys.
Jennie was honored with the Global Force Award at the Billboard Women in Music 2025. Billboard recognized Jennie for her "explosive global influence" as she embarks on her solo career. Her single "Mantra," released in October 2025, entered the Billboard Hot 100 for two consecutive weeks. Her more recent single "Love Hangover (feat. Dominic Fike)" reached a new personal best, ranking at 96 on the Billboard Hot 100. Jennie is set to release her first full-length solo album 'Ruby' on March 7.
Billboard's chief brand officer, Dana Droppo, stated that the 2025 Billboard Women in Music celebrates women who "continue to drive innovation, inspire change, and reshape the future of music".
BLACKPINK's achievements extend beyond Billboard charts. In July 2025, they became the first K-pop girl group to perform at Goyang Sports Complex. Their "BORN PINK" tour drew 1.8 million audience members across 66 concerts in 34 cities, marking the highest figure ever for a K-Pop girl group. Including appearances at Coachella and Hyde Park, they have performed for over 2.115 million fans. Furthermore, BLACKPINK's official YouTube channel has surpassed 99 million subscribers, ranking first among all artists worldwide.
BLACKPINK's continued success and recognition from Billboard in 2025 highlights their lasting impact and influence, not only in K-pop but on the global music stage.
