BLACKPINK reaffirms its title as the undisputed "Queens of K-pop" and now Billboard is highlighting their power on par with other pop artists!

BLACKPINK's power knows no bounds! The prestigious Billboard magazine has awarded the group an Honorable Mention on its prestigious list of the "Greatest Pop Star of 2025", making them the "Only K-pop artist included" and placing them alongside Addison Rae, Ariana Grande, Benson Boone, Beyoncé, Chappell Roan, Rosalía, SZA, Bruno Mars, and Justin Bieber.
