Jennie has made history with record-breaking achievements on the Billboard charts.

According to the latest Billboard update (dated March 22), Jennie’s debut solo album, Ruby, has made a striking debut at No. 7 on the Billboard 200, marking a significant milestone in her solo career. The album’s title track, “Like JENNIE,” has also entered the prestigious Hot 100 at No. 83.

But Jennie’s chart dominance doesn’t end there. Her collaboration with Dua Lipa, “Handlebars,” landed at No. 80 on the Hot 100, while “ExtraL,” featuring Doechii, returned to the chart at No. 99.

This groundbreaking achievement cements Jennie as the first K-pop female solo artist to chart three songs on the Billboard Hot 100 simultaneously. She has also set a new record by placing all five tracks from Ruby on the Hot 100. These include “Like JENNIE,” “Mantra,” “Love Hangover” (featuring Dominic Fike), “ExtraL” (featuring Doechii), and “Handlebars” (featuring Dua Lipa). In total, including her collaboration with The Weeknd and Lily-Rose Depp on “One of the Girls,” Jennie now holds the record for the most entries on the Hot 100 by any K-pop female solo artist, with six tracks.

Jennie’s global influence is undeniable. Her title track, “Like JENNIE,” has climbed to No. 3 on Billboard’s Global Excl. U.S. chart and No. 5 on the Global 200, further solidifying her status as a powerhouse in the international music scene.
