BLACKPINK has created history as they become the first girl group to earn more than $3 million for a single-arena US concert.

They achieved this feat with their two-night sold-out shows in Newark, New Jersey, where they performed at the Prudential Center on November 14 and 15, earning a whopping $3.297 million each night.

This is the first time a girl group has raked in $3 million-plus twice in a single arena concert in the United States.

BLACKPINK released their second full album, BORN PINK, on September 16 this year. Almost a month later, on October 15, the girl group began their ambitious BORN PINK World Tour, which started with their home country Seoul, South Korea, and eventually reached the US.
