Black Pink became the first girl group that debuted under YG Entertainment in seven years after 2NE1, with their debut single album Square One released on August 8, 2016. The first title track, "Whistle", a "minimal hip-hop track", was produced by Teddy Park and Future Bounce and written by Teddy Park, iKon's B.I, and Bekuh BOOM. The second title track, "Boombayah", was produced by Teddy Park and co-written by Bekuh BOOM. Its music video was directed by Seo Hyun-seung. The two title tracks charted at number one and two on the Billboard World Digital Songs chart, and Black Pink are by far the fastest act to do so and the third Korean artist or group to hold the top two positions after Psy and Big Bang. "Whistle" topped the digital, download, streaming, and mobile charts on Gaon in August 2016. They also reached number one on the weekly, popularity, music video, and K-pop music video charts of China's biggest music-streaming website QQ Music. Black Pink's first music show performance was aired on August 14, 2016 on SBS's Inkigayo. They won first place on Inkigayo 13 days after their debut, and broke the record for the shortest time for a girl group to win on a music program after debut.
