BLACKPINK’s Rosé and Jennie are continuing their impressive runs on the global charts. Rosé’s hit song “APT.” remains a fixture on both the U.K. and U.S. charts. It marks an impressive 27-week streak on the UK Official Charts.
Jennie is also making waves with her debut solo album Ruby. She not only made history as the first solo K-pop artist to perform at Coachella’s major stage. But she also achieved multiple Billboard milestones with three tracks from Ruby charting simultaneously.
BLACKPINK’s Jennie and Rosé Break Records on Global Charts with Ruby and “APT.”
Rosé continues to captivate the global music scene with her hit track “APT.”, which has maintained a prominent position on the U.K. Official Charts for 27 consecutive weeks. Her chart-topping success peaked with the song reaching number 4 in October 2024. It has since remained a fixture within the top 10. The track’s consistent performance is further bolstered by its record-breaking 26-week tenure on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. This surpasses previous K-pop female solo records.
On the other hand, Jennie has revolutionized the promotional strategy for K-pop solo artists with her debut album Ruby. Her track “Like JENNIE” made a strong return to the Billboard Hot 100 after her performance at Coachella. There, she became the first K-pop solo artist to take the stage at the festival’s major Outdoor Theatre. Jennie’s presence at Coachella, paired with the re-entry of her song on the charts, proved her growing global influence.
Jennie’s album Ruby is breaking barriers in more ways than one. She achieved the highest first-week sales for a K-pop female solo artist in 2025, with over 661,000 copies sold. The album also made a significant impact on the UK charts, debuting at No. 3. This was a groundbreaking feat for any solo female K-pop artist. Jennie’s ability to chart multiple tracks simultaneously is further evidence of her success.
One of Jennie’s most remarkable contributions to K-pop promotion is her ambitious video rollout. By releasing seven music videos for Ruby, Jennie has redefined how K-pop albums are marketed. This set a new precedent for future releases. This extensive visual content, including the dreamlike video for “Seoul City,” has helped further solidify her position as one of K-pop’s most innovative solo artists.
Jennie and Rosé’s chart-topping success not only highlights their individual talents but also sets a new benchmark in the K-pop industry. It redefines promotional strategies and global influence.
“K-pop promotion has been redefined by Jennie’s unprecedented seven music videos for Ruby, changing the landscape for future solo artist releases.”
