K-pop girl group Blackpink, which has a new song out titled "Ice Cream," now commands the third largest YouTube audience in the world.

The number of subscribers to Blackpink's official YouTube channel surpassed 45-point-six million as of 8 p.m. Friday, overtaking pop star Ed Sheeran.

Subscribers have been steadily rising since the release of the hit song "How You Like That" in June. Blackpink went on to overtake Ariana Grande and Eminem in YouTube suscribers.

The management agency said the latest feat is thanks to the new track, saying YouTube subscribers increased by 100-thousand per hour after "Ice Cream" was released on Friday.

The only artists with a larger YouTube audience than Blackpink are now Justin Bieber and DJ Marshmello.
