Building on its record-breaking first-day sales, Blackpink's mini-album 'Deadline' achieved the highest first-week sales by any female artist or girl group on the Hanteo Chart, with 1,774,577 copies sold from February 27 to March 5, 2026. The EP also debuted at No. 11 on the UK Official Albums Chart.
Blackpink's highly anticipated mini-album 'Deadline', released February 27, 2026, continued its dominant performance into the first full tracking week. As previously reported, the EP sold 1.46 million copies on day one, setting a girl group record. By March 5, cumulative Hanteo sales reached 1,774,577 units—eclipsing aespa's 'My World' (1.698M in 2023) and Blackpink's own 'Born Pink' by over 230,000 copies. This mark, confirmed by YG Entertainment, represents the new benchmark for female artists on the chart, driven by 1.9 million pre-orders.
Global success persisted, with 'Deadline' debuting at No. 1 on iTunes in 38 countries and No. 11 on the UK Official Albums Chart. The title track 'Go' entered the UK Singles Chart at No. 44, building on pre-release single 'Jump'. The five-track EP—featuring 'Go', 'Jump', 'Me and My', 'Champion', and 'Fxxxboy'—blends EDM, hip-hop, pop, and more, themed around confidence, growth, and unity.
This milestone underscores Blackpink's global K-pop dominance post their 2022 full-length 'Born Pink', highlighting sustained fan demand amid solo activities.
