>K-pop exploded in the U.S. during the 2010s, and few songs sound the way that insurgency felt as much as “Ddu-Du Ddu-Du,” a 2018 track from the superstar girlband Blackpink. Fueled by whirling trap snares and glitching synths, “Ddu-Du Ddu-Du” showcases all four of the group’s members in thrilling fashion. Lisa and Jennie handle the verses with full-throttle rapping that’s as braggadocio-packed as they are nimble, while Rosé and Jisoo layer a sour-candy coating atop the proceedings with a sweetly delivered — yet gently menacing—prechorus that sets up the triumphantly sputter-along refrain.

I mean would be absolutely criminal to not include this on the list. One of the biggest hits to come out of Kpop and the start of global domination by Blackpink. I became a fan of them shortly after the song came out, wish I was there at release to witness this historic moment.

There may be songs in their discography that have more commercial success than D4, but I think it will always be their most iconic song
