Regardless, the desire for consistency and better communication from the label is clear. BLACKPINK's new era incoming With the music video already wrapped and the Goyang stage set for the grand debut, all signs hint at a new era for BLACKPINK, one shaped by Jennie, Rosé, Jisoo, and Lisa each rising as solo powerhouses.

Jennie Matches Blackpink — And Beats All Of Her Bandmates
Jennie is no stranger to the upper reaches of the Billboard charts. As a member of Blackpink, she's landed many hits, and helped redefine K-pop's presence on the international stage. Now, as a soloist, she's proving she can achieve just as much success without her bandmates – especially when looking at the global rankings. This week, the superstar collects another major worldwide win as fans rush to her first album, Ruby. As she does so, she not only matches her group's impressive record, but also beats her bandmates in one important manner. 'Like Jennie,' one of the latest singles from Jennie's debut solo album Ruby, opens at No. 5 on the Billboard Global 200. The track instantly becomes her fourth top 10 hit on the tally, which measures the most-consumed songs all around the world, based on both streaming performance and sales. With her fourth top 10 hit on the Billboard Global 200, Jennie now stands on equal footing with Blackpink. The group has also managed a quartet of appearances inside the highest tier of the ranking. Two of those smashes even reached No. 1. Back in 2022, Blackpink topped the list twice in short order, with 'Pink Venom' and 'Shut Down,' both singles from its sophomore album Born Pink. Prior to that successful run, 'Love Sick Girls' climbed to No. 2 in 2020, and that same year, 'Ice Cream' with Selena Gomez peaked at No. 8. Before 'Like Jennie' arrived, Jennie was in a tie with fellow Blackpink singer Lisa for the most top 10 hits among the band's soloists. Both musicians had collected three placements inside the competitive region. That changes this week, as Jennie now claims the lead. Meanwhile, fellow member Rosé has scored two top 10s on the Billboard Global 200, while Jisoo has managed just one so far. Jennie's journey as a solo star on this worldwide list began in October 2023, when she first cracked the top 10 on the Billboard Global 200. She earned her first planet-spanning giant with 'You & Me,' which climbed to No. 7. Shortly after that win, she landed her second top 10 appearance alongside The Weeknd and Lily-Rose Depp on 'One of the Girls,' which peaked at No. 10. Her biggest showing yet came just a few months ago. 'Mantra,' the lead single from Ruby, soared to No. 3.
