BLACKPINK goes gold: they’re the first female K-pop group to earn BRIT Gold Certification

Guess what's making waves in the United Kingdom? BLACKPINK just hit a major milestone!

 

The British Phonographic Industry (BPI) dropped the news: BLACKPINK's debut studio album, THE ALBUM, just snagged a shiny gold BRIT certification.

 

Here's the deal: according to BPI rules, an album goes gold when it sells 100,000 copies, while singles need to hit 400,000 to score that golden status.

 

And here's the kicker: BLACKPINK just became the first female K-pop act ever to go gold with an album in the UK. Now that's what you call making history!
