BLACKPINK’s Jennie is proving her global star power once again as her first full-length solo album “Ruby” continues to dominate the U.S. music charts for the second consecutive week.
Released earlier this month, “Ruby” made a highly successful debut by entering the Billboard 200 at No. 7, marking an impressive start for Jennie’s first solo full album.
As revealed by Billboard on March 25 (local time), “Ruby” maintained strong momentum in its second week, securing the No. 20 spot on the Billboard 200—the main albums chart that ranks the most popular albums in the United States.
Holding steady in the Top 20 reflects both Jennie’s massive fanbase and the strong reception her solo music has received across North America.
Beyond the Billboard 200, “Ruby” also performed exceptionally well on other Billboard charts. It grabbed the No. 12 position on both the Top Album Sales chart and the Top Current Album Sales chart, which measure pure album sales without factoring in streaming.
This means Jennie’s “Ruby” was the 12th best-selling album of the week in the U.S.—a remarkable achievement for a K-pop soloist in such a competitive market.
Jennie also made her presence felt globally, earning multiple entries on Billboard’s Global Excl. U.S. Chart and the Global 200.
Her lead single “like JENNIE” continued its reign, holding steady at No. 4 on the Global Excl. U.S. Chart, confirming its status as an international hit. Several other tracks from “Ruby” also ranked on the global charts:
- “ExtraL” landed at No. 28
- “Handlebars” at No. 29
- “One of the Girls” at No. 57
- “Mantra” at No. 98
- “Love Hangover” at No. 117
On the Global 200, which includes data from the U.S. and worldwide, Jennie’s “like JENNIE” ranked No. 7, while “Handlebars” and “ExtraL” placed back-to-back at No. 49 and No. 50 respectively. “One of the Girls” charted at No. 90, with “Mantra” entering at No. 175.
Further showcasing her growing influence as a solo artist, Jennie rose to No. 35 on Billboard’s Artist 100 this week, which ranks the top artists based on performance across key charts.
This marks her fourth overall week on the Artist 100 as a soloist—solidifying her individual presence outside of her achievements withnn
BLACKPINK.
With “Ruby”, Jennie has not only demonstrated her vocal and artistic versatility but also solidified her status as a force to be reckoned with in the global music scene.
The continued chart success of “Ruby” serves as a testament to her talent, creativity, and dedicated fanbase around the world.
