BLACKPINK has added another major chart entry in the United States with DEADLINE, which opened in the top tier of Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart. Early chart results show the release giving the group its fourth top 10 on that ranking, continuing a steady run of strong commercial performances.
The latest numbers also place DEADLINE inside the top 10 of the Billboard 200. Initial tracking indicates the project earned 52,000 equivalent album units in its opening frame, with about 41,000 of those coming from pure album sales. That points to a fan-driven launch powered heavily by direct purchases.
The debut adds to BLACKPINK’s record of reliable chart success in the U.S. market, where the group has consistently turned new releases into major opening-week events. A result like this matters because Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart reflects actual purchases, while the Billboard 200 blends sales with streaming and other activity.
