South Korean girl group Blackpink has set a new record in the music industry by achieving the highest-grossing world tour from a girl group. Touring Data revealed that the group earned approximately $78.4 million from their first 26 shows, surpassing other major girl groups such as Spice Girls, Destiny’s Child, and TLC.

The group quickly gained global recognition, thanks to their catchy songs, stunning visuals, and powerful performances. Blackpink is also known for their record-breaking music videos, such as “Kill This Love” and “How You Like That,” which have garnered billions of views on YouTube.
In addition to their music accomplishments, Blackpink also made history in 2019 by becoming the first K-pop girl group to perform at Coachella, one of the world’s biggest music festivals. The group’s electrifying performances were a hit with fans and non-fans alike, with Blackpink trending on several social media platforms during and after the event.
