BLACKPINK Announce Release Of Comeback Single

Blinks have been waiting for more crumbles of news about BLACKPINK's comeback and it appears as if the K-pop group is set to drop their new single on June 26.

As per a new post from YG Entertainment, Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa's upcoming track is set for release at the end of the month. It'll serve as the lead single for the girl group's first-ever studio album, which is due in September. In May, YG Entertainment dropped an orderly schedule of events for the group, detailing the new single's release, as well as a follow-up track from the collective in July or August. Additionally, longtime fans will be able to get an ear of solo material from the women. After Jennie dropped "Solo" in 2018, Rosé's first solo record is set to drop after the group’s debut album, with Lisa and Jisoo's material to arrive at a later date.

"It is because all members agreed that BLACKPINK's comeback as an entire group and their first-ever full-length album release is more important than anything," YG Entertainment said in a statement. "YG is always grateful towards the fans in and out of Korea, who have shown interest and affection towards BLACKPINK until this day."

In the meantime, BLACKPINK's slinky collaboration with Lady Gaga, "Sour Candy," is still making buzz. Since its release as part of Mother Monster's Chromatica, the track has made its way all the way to the No. 3 position on Billboard's Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart. In other celebratory news, the group's video for "As If It's Your Last" recently hit the 800 million views milestone on youTube. It becomes their fourth clip to do so after "DDU-DU DDU-DU," "BOOMBAYAH" and "Kill This Love."
