BLACKPINK’s Total Song Count Over 10 Years Draws Criticism Ahead of New Album
BLACKPINK is facing controversy over their music output after 10 years.
The total number of songs released by the group has sparked ridicule among fans and netizens.
As of January 2026, including the upcoming mini-album DEADLINE, BLACKPINK has officially released only 33 group tracks through albums and digital singles.
The DEADLINE EP, dropping soon, will feature five songs, including “JUMP,” which came out last year.
The controversy began after fans noticed that in a decade, BLACKPINK’s total group discography under YG Entertainment is less than 40 songs. This includes songs from albums and digital releases.
Many blame YG for the low output, pointing out that solo projects by the members already exceed the total group releases.
Back in 2023, BLACKPINK had only 41 songs released if counting solo work and collaborations. But just counting group and official collaborations, it was 29 tracks. Now it’s at 33, and will be 37 after DEADLINE.
Reddit and social media exploded with reactions, many expressing disbelief over the slow pace.

The criticism comes as fans eagerly await DEADLINE, but remain frustrated with how little official group music has actually come out over BLACKPINK’s decade in the industry.
Fans continue to express frustration with YG’s handling of BLACKPINK’s group content amid members’ growing solo schedules.
