BLACKPINK's "GO" debuted at number one on YouTube's Global Weekly Top Songs chart with 43,074,419 views in its first week — the group's first chart entry since before the release of Born Pink in 2022. The debut ended "NO BATIDÃO" by ZXKAI and slxughter's run at the top of the global chart, which had reached 19 consecutive weeks. On the Global Weekly Top Music Videos chart, "GO" simultaneously debuted at number one with 33,502,232 views.
BLACKPINK released "GO" alongside the mini album Deadline on February 27, 2026, according to Rolling Stone. The album — the group's third mini album, following Square Up in 2018 and Kill This Love in 2019 — marks the quartet's first official release in over three years. It features five tracks including the lead single "Jump," which the group had released in July 2025. "GO" is described as an anthemic, EDM-laced album cut, and its music video was published simultaneously with the album on February 27, 2026. The album shares its name with the group's recent world tour; BLACKPINK announced it in January 2026.
The Deadline production roster reflects the scale of the campaign. For "Jump," BLACKPINK enlisted songwriters TEDDY, Diplo, 24, Zikai, Claudia Valentina, Jumpa, Malachiii, and Jesse Bluu, with production by Diplo, 24, Boaz Van De Beatz, Zecca, and Ape Drums. BLACKPINK — composed of Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa — debuted in August 2016 under YG Entertainment and has been described by multiple publications as the world's biggest girl group. The group's 2022 full-length album Born Pink followed years of individual member solo activities and a pause in group releases.
The group also placed a second entry globally. "뛰어 (JUMP)," which had been charting for 22 weeks, held 31st on the Global Weekly Top Songs chart with 12,902,012 views. A third global entry, "Champion," debuted at 46th with 10,620,184 views. A fourth new entry, "Me and my," debuted at 92nd with 7,599,153 views. Four simultaneous chart entries — three of them first-week debuts — from a single album release in the same tracking period is an unusual concentration of activity on YouTube's global chart.
On the Global Weekly Top Artists chart, BLACKPINK entered at 16th with 124,260,304 weekly views in week 446. This is a debut or re-entry position following the absence of new releases; the chart tracks weeks on the chart rather than weeks of activity, and BLACKPINK's 446 weeks reflects the group's full catalog tenure on YouTube.
"NO BATIDÃO" fell to second globally with 37,193,307 views in week 19. "Golden" by HUNTR/X, EJAE, AUDREY NUNA, REI AMI and KPop Demon Hunters Cast held third with 33,775,680 views in its 37th week — the Netflix animated film soundtrack has held a top-three global position since mid-2025, as PPC Land has covered since December 2025. Bruno Mars' "Risk It All" debuted at sixth globally with 24,425,058 views, also in its first week.

BLACKPINK's territory-by-territory debut
"GO" did not enter the top 10 in every market. The track debuted in the top 10 of six territories: Netherlands (3rd), Germany (4th), Australia (5th), UK (11th, outside top 10 but highest debut that week), and Indonesia (10th). It charted further down in France (11th), Spain (23rd), Portugal (21st), United States (17th), Japan (18th), and Brazil (39th). It did not chart in Kenya or South Africa. The view totals across territories illustrate scale differences: Germany delivered 587,479 views for a fourth-place debut, while Brazil delivered 1,960,933 for a 39th-place debut — a function of the Brazilian market's higher aggregate stream volumes.
"뛰어 (JUMP)," which had been on chart for 22 weeks globally, appeared in Germany (43rd, 205,229 views), Australia (42nd, 98,615 views), and Netherlands (34th, 59,185 views). The track's residual presence in European markets alongside the "GO" debut suggests an audience that had been following BLACKPINK's catalog output ahead of the album release.

Brazil
Brazil's chart showed no international penetration in its top 40. "GO" debuted at 39th with 1,960,933 views — a significant view count by global standards but consistent with how deeply local Brazilian funk carioca dominates the market. "JETSKI" by PEDRO SAMPAIO, MC MENO K, and Melody retained first place with 12,207,464 views in its 11th week. The top 10 is entirely Portuguese-language. "NO BATIDÃO" appeared at 26th with 2,589,703 views.

India
India's chart did not register a BLACKPINK entry in any position. The market was heavily shaped by the Holi festival season: "Shararat" held first with 27,662,818 views, while "Hori Khele Raghuveera" surged 59 positions to second with 23,754,957 views in its 20th week. "BALAM PICHKARI" — a track from a 2013 Bollywood film — debuted at fifth with 17,534,506 views, illustrating how seasonal consumption patterns in India revive catalog material at scale. No Western or K-pop entry reached the top 30.

Japan
Japan is a notable market for BLACKPINK given the group's long-standing fanbase there. "GO" debuted at 18th with 1,466,905 views. The top of the Japan chart was entirely domestic: M!LK's "好きすぎて滅!" moved to first with 5,565,584 views, Kenshi Yonezu's "IRIS OUT" held second with 5,466,181 views, and M!LK's "爆裂愛してる" fell to third with 5,380,960 views. Three new domestic entries occupied positions four, five, and six — Ado's "ビバリウム," HANA's "ALL IN," and ARASHI's "Five." Japan's chart is among the most insulated from international trends across all territories tracked.

"Golden" held eighth with 747,490 views in week 36. Spain's chart has a strong domestic presence through Aitana, JC Reyes, and Beéle, alongside Latin crossover content, which limits international pop debut penetration.

Global Weekly Top Music Videos
The music video chart reinforced "GO"'s debut impact. BLACKPINK held first with 33,502,232 views. "Shararat" fell to second with 25,764,149 views in week 13. "Golden" held third with 21,987,835 views in week 24 on the video chart. "Risk It All" by Bruno Mars debuted at fourth with 16,777,910 views. Positions six and seven were occupied by Holi-themed Bollywood tracks — "Hori Khele Raghuveera" with 15,250,266 views and "Balam Pichkari" with 14,558,690 views, both in week nine. ROSÉ and Bruno Mars' "APT." held eighth with 11,999,131 views in its 72nd week. "뛰어 (JUMP)" — a separate BLACKPINK video — appeared at 21st with 5,844,589 views in its 21st week on the video chart.
What the data means for the marketing community
The BLACKPINK debut illustrates a dynamic PPC Land has tracked since the platform's withdrawal from Billboard chart data sharing on January 16, 2026: YouTube's global chart aggregates consumption from markets with entirely different listening patterns, which means a global number one can still fail to crack the top 10 in the majority of individual territories.
"GO" debuted at number one globally on the strength of its aggregate view total — 43 million views distributed across all markets. Yet it reached the top 10 in only four of the 13 individual territory charts where it appeared (Netherlands at 3rd, Germany at 4th, Australia at 5th, Indonesia at 10th). It ranked 11th in the UK, 17th in the US, 18th in Japan, 21st in Portugal, 23rd in Spain, and 39th in Brazil. It did not register a chart position at all in India, Kenya, or South Africa. The gap between global rank and local rank is pronounced — a consequence of how view totals from large markets compress into a single worldwide figure that obscures territorial distribution.
The four simultaneous BLACKPINK global entries in one week are also instructive. "GO" at 1st, "뛰어 (JUMP)" at 31st, "Champion" at 46th, and "Me and my" at 92nd — all in the same tracking period — reflect the standard K-pop album release mechanism, where a label deploys multiple videos simultaneously to maximise chart presence. PPC Land has documented how the KPop Demon Hunters Cast similarly spread multiple album tracks across charts simultaneously, accumulating chart positions for "Golden," "Soda Pop," and other tracks in parallel. For advertisers and labels, the multi-entry strategy means a single release campaign must account for multiple video assets and distinct audience discovery patterns per track.
The absence of any BLACKPINK entry in India, Kenya, or South Africa is not a failure condition — it reflects the structural reality of how those markets consume music on YouTube. India's top 10 this week was entirely Bollywood and Bhojpuri folk content shaped by the Holi season. Kenya and South Africa were entirely local African content. These patterns are consistent across every tracking period covered by PPC Land since late 2025. Campaigns targeting those markets require locally specific content strategies rather than reliance on a global release to carry penetration.
On the Global Weekly Top Artists chart, BLACKPINK entered at 16th with 124,260,304 weekly views. Alka Yagnik remained first with 426,649,306 views in week 494 — a figure rooted in India's scale, where number-one tracks generate 27 million views in a single week. Bruno Mars reached tenth with 141,695,936 views in week 524. Arijit Singh held third with 274,655,240 views. The artists chart reflects catalog depth as much as current releases; artists with decades of indexed video content accumulate views continuously, which affects how new-release artists like BLACKPINK compare on a weekly basis.

Summary
Who: BLACKPINK — the South Korean quartet of Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa, formed by YG Entertainment and active since 2016 — debuted four chart entries in YouTube's Global Weekly Top Songs chart simultaneously, with "GO" at number one. The group had not released an official project since the full-length album Born Pink in 2022. The competing chart stories involve ZXKAI and slxughter's "NO BATIDÃO" falling from the global number one after 19 consecutive weeks, and the KPop Demon Hunters Cast continuing at third globally in week 37 of "Golden."
What: YouTube's Global Weekly Top Songs chart placed BLACKPINK's "GO" at number one with 43,074,419 views in its first week — ending "NO BATIDÃO"'s 19-week run at the top. The Global Weekly Top Music Videos chart simultaneously placed "GO" at number one with 33,502,232 views. Three additional BLACKPINK tracks — "뛰어 (JUMP)," "Champion," and "Me and my" — also charted globally in the same tracking period. The data covers 15 territories and four chart formats.
When: The chart data covers the weekly tracking period ending in early March 2026. BLACKPINK released Deadlineand the "GO" music video on February 27, 2026, following the group's announcement of the album in January 2026 and the release of lead single "Jump" in July 2025.
Where: YouTube's global chart system, operating independently since January 16, 2026 following the platform's withdrawal from Billboard data sharing. The data covers the Global Weekly Top Songs, Global Weekly Top Music Videos, Global Weekly Top Artists, Global Weekly Top Shorts Songs, and territory charts for the United States, United Kingdom, Brazil, India, Japan, Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, Netherlands, Australia, Indonesia, Kenya, and South Africa.
Why: The charts matter as the primary public record of music consumption on YouTube, a platform that terminated its Billboard partnership in January 2026 and now operates its own independent measurement system across more than 60 global markets. For marketing professionals, the BLACKPINK data demonstrates how a globally ranked number-one track can still reach only four individual territory top-10 positions out of 13 measured, illustrating why territory-specific strategies and multi-asset campaigns are structurally necessary on the platform.
