Lady Gaga has kept her 6th studio album ‘Chromatica‘ under wraps for sometime and there were a rumor floating around the internet that BLACKPINK would be making a feature on her latest installment to her discography.

They dominated the chart with ‘Kill This Love‘ which skyrocketed to #1 in the UK iTunes album chart and #7 on the song chart respectively, making it their highest peaks upon release.
Though, that is all set to change as ‘Sour Candy‘ has been flying up the iTunes charts within hours of the track being dropped. The song has racked up 38 #1‘s which includes Bulgaria, Greece, Poland, Portugal and Turkey. This gives the girl group’s their highest No.1’s for a song on iTunes. It’s currently sitting at #2 in the UK which makes it BLACKPINK’s highest charting song to date. Lady Gaga’s chart topping single ‘Rain On Me‘ with Ariana Grande takes the top reigning spot at #1 so will ‘Sour Candy‘ be able to reach the top?
