BLACKPINK’s Jennie continues to solidify her status as a global superstar, setting a new record in Billboard history with her latest solo achievements.
On March 18, 2025 (local time), Billboard officially announced that Jennie had not only scored multiple new entries on the Hot 100 but also made history as the first female K-pop soloist to chart three songs simultaneously on the prestigious chart.
Jennie’s record-breaking moment came thanks to the incredible success of her solo album “Ruby”, which has been receiving immense love from fans worldwide. Two new tracks from the album officially debuted on the Hot 100 this week:
- “Handlebars” featuring Dua Lipa — entered the chart at No. 80
- “like JENNIE” (the album’s title track) — debuted at No. 83
In addition to these two new entries, Jennie’s pre-release single “ExtraL” featuring Doechii re-entered the Hot 100 at No. 99, marking its second non-consecutive week on the chart.
This remarkable feat not only highlights the strength of Jennie’s new album but also cements her place in history. By accomplishing this, Jennie became the first female K-pop solo artist ever to:
- Have six different songs enter the Billboard Hot 100
- Chart three songs simultaneously on the Hot 100
Prior to her latest entries, Jennie had already made waves on the Billboard charts with her hits:
- “One of the Girls” — a collaboration with The Weeknd and Lily-Rose Depp
- “Mantra”
- “Love Hangover” featuring Dominic Fike
These earlier releases helped set the stage for Jennie’s historic solo achievements, proving her consistent chart power as both a BLACKPINK member and a solo artist.
Jennie’s successful collaborations with global stars like Dua Lipa and Doechii, combined with her powerful solo performances, reflect her global influence and artistry.
Her album “Ruby” not only showcases her musical growth but also further bridges the gap between K-pop and mainstream Western music.
Fans and industry insiders alike are celebrating Jennie’s record-breaking moment, recognizing it as a significant milestone for female K-pop soloists on the international stage.
As she continues to dominate charts and break barriers, Jennie’s achievements pave the way for future K-pop soloists aiming to make their mark globally.
