Following the success of 'Ice Cream', which has amassed at least 150M views on YouTube since its release, Blackpink are all set to release their debut album. Gomez, on the other hand, tasted success yet again with her last album 'Rare' that debuted atop the Billboard 200 and featured artists like 6lack and Kid Cudi.
She now looks forward to releasing her fourth studio album, if fans are to be believed, and is also gearing up to star in the movie 'This Is the Year' where she's also taking on the executive producer's role. Whenever it releases, SG3, as it is tentatively titled, will be one of the most anticipated albums of the year.
