Jennie, the global K-pop star and member of BLACKPINK, is making waves on the U.S. Billboard charts. Her first full-length solo album, ‘Ruby,’ debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard 200, demonstrating her immense popularity. Additionally, the album’s title track, ‘like JENNIE,’ entered the Billboard HOT 100 at No. 83, marking a significant achievement.
Jennie didn’t stop there—two more tracks from ‘Ruby’ also made it onto the HOT 100. ‘Handlebars (feat. Dua Lipa)’ secured the No. 80 spot, while ‘ExtraL (feat. Doechii)’ landed at No. 99. This makes her the first K-pop female solo artist to have three songs simultaneously chart on the HOT 100. Moreover, her previous collaborations, including ‘One Of The Girls’ with The Weeknd and Lily-Rose Depp, contributed to a total of six songs appearing on the chart.
Beyond the HOT 100 success, ‘like JENNIE’ reached No. 3 on the Billboard Global (Excluding U.S.) chart and No. 5 on the Global 200, capturing the attention of fans worldwide. Jennie’s distinctive musical style and stage presence continue to solidify her as a powerhouse in the global music scene.
Jennie’s influence isn’t limited to the Billboard charts. Following its release, ‘Ruby’ set a new record for the highest first-week album sales by a K-pop female solo artist, selling over 661,130 copies. She also landed at No. 3 on the UK Official Albums Chart, setting another milestone for a Korean soloist.
This latest achievement underscores the growing global influence of K-pop female solo artists. Jennie’s trailblazing success is expected to inspire future artists and further push K-pop’s boundaries on the international stage.
