KEY POINTS

  • "The Album" is Blackpink's first full-length album since the group's 2016 debut
  • Blackpink’s "The Album" made Billboard 200 history after debuting at no. 2 on the chart
  • A documentary on Blackpink is set to premiere on Netflix on Wednesday

Blackpink's first full-length album, "The Album," has created Billboard history after debuting at no. 2 on its albums chart.

Though Blackpink didn't top the Billboard 200, grabbing the no. 2 spot is a massive feat as no other female K-pop group has come even close. "The Album" is also the highest-charting album by an all-female group since Danity Kane’s "Welcome to the Dollhouse" debuted no. 1 on the chart in 2008, Billboard reported.

Blackpink's "The Album," which dropped on Oct. 6, has also shattered sales records. In just one day, the group managed to sell 590,000 units. With this, Blackpink has broken Iz*One’s record of 389,334 copies of "Oneiric Diary" sold in its first week, Soompi reported.

"Considering that the number of albums exported to the United States and Europe is not included in the total, the actual number of album sales is expected to be even higher," Blackpink’s label, YG Entertainment, said in a statement.

Blackpink's first full-length studio album contains several hit singles such as "Lovesick Girls," "Ice Cream" and "How You Like That."

October is clearly shaping up to be an important month for Jennie, Lisa, Rosé, and Jisoo. Blackpink's Netflix documentary, titled "Light Up The Sky," will be released globally on Wednesday and will give fans access to never-before-seen footage of the girls from their journey to becoming a highly successful K-pop group.

"Light Up The Sky" promises to show the ups and downs the members faced during their early days.

Looking back at their trainee days, Lisa said "everything was 'competition' at that time." Jisoo, meanwhile, said she once thought of giving up because of the demanding trainee process.

Netflix has also released footage of the girls watching the "Light Up the Sky" trailer for the first time.

"They might think we're weird kids," Lisa joked.

Jisoo added, "Please accept us. It is us in our natural state, instead of the perfect dream image we usually present, and it is truly a more genuine look at our early training, and us recording together, and basically a deeper look at all of us."
