Last updated:

BLACKPINK continues to prove their global impact, with members Rosé and Jennie making impressive strides on the UK’s Official Singles Chart this week.

From April 17 to 23, both idols saw their solo tracks climb back up one of the world’s most prestigious music charts, further cementing their status as global superstars.

Rosé, who teamed up with international pop icon Bruno Mars for the soulful hit “APT.”, climbed to No. 16 in its 26th week on the chart.

This not only showcases the song’s enduring popularity but also sets a new record—making “APT.” the longest-charting song by a female K-pop soloist in UK chart history.

Rosé’s unique vocals paired with Bruno Mars’ signature sound have clearly struck a chord with global audiences, and her consistent chart presence highlights her crossover appeal beyond the K-pop scene.

Jennie, meanwhile, made her own splash with her latest solo title track “like JENNIE,” which jumped 11 spots to land at No. 53 this week.

This marks her sixth consecutive week on the chart, reflecting both the strength of her individual artistry and the power of her brand.

Known for her charisma, bold concept, and confident delivery, Jennie’s latest solo effort continues to capture attention both in and outside of Korea.

This achievement not only reinforces BLACKPINK’s domination in the global music scene but also demonstrates the rising influence and staying power of K-pop soloists on international charts traditionally dominated by Western artists.

Both Rosé and Jennie are showing that they can shine individually while continuing to elevate the BLACKPINK name.

With Rosé recently named one of TIME Magazine’s ‘100 Most Influential People of 2025’ and Jennie continuing to trend worldwide with each new release, the members of BLACKPINK are proving they’re not just part of a successful group—they’re icons in their own right.

Congratulations to Rosé and Jennie for these major milestones! We can’t wait to see what heights they reach next.
