Girl group Blackpink's new song "Pink Venom" debuted at No. 22 on Billboard's Hot 100 singles chart dated Sept. 3, according to the music platform on Tuesday.

It became the group's fourth song to enter the chart, followed by its collaboration with Selena Gomez “Ice Cream" (2020) which peaked at No. 13; “How You Like That”(2020) at No. 33; and its collaboration with Lady Gaga "Sour Candy" (2020) also at No. 33.

"Pink Venom" is No. 1 on Billboard's Global 200 chart, beating the group's 2020 record of No. 2 on the same chart with the song "Lovesick Girls."

"Pink Venom" was released on Aug. 19, ahead of Blackpink's full-length album "Born Pink," which is set for release on Sept. 16.

“Born Pink” marks the girl group’s return to the music scene after a year and 10 months. Its first full-length album “The Album” was released in October 2020 and became the first-ever million-seller among K-pop girl groups. Presales for the second album exceeded 1.5 million units one week after reservations opened.

Blackpink debuted in 2016 with the EP “Square One” and has released hit tracks including “Playing with Fire” (2016), “Forever Young” (2018) and “Lovesick Girls” (2020).
