With the release of the song “One of the Girls,” BLACKPINK’s Jennie recently accomplished a noteworthy career milestone and became a member of an exclusive group of K-pop soloists.
She is now among the select few musicians whose at least one solo song has amassed more than one billion Spotify plays, joining celebrities like Lisa, Jimin of BTS, and Jungkook.
Jennie hits 1 billion streams
On July 4, Jennie from BLACKPINK accomplished an incredible feat by becoming the only K-pop soloist to have a song with one billion Spotify plays, alongside Lisa, Jimin from BTS, and Jungkook.
When Jennie’s collaboration song One of the Girls featuring The Weeknd and Lily-Rose Depp hit this significant milestone, it solidified her place in the K-pop scene. The song was released on December 8, 2023, and it can be heard on the HBO series The Idol’s soundtrack.
With this achievement, Jennie joins Lisa and BLACKPINK as the only female K-pop artists to cross 1 billion Spotify plays. Millions of new listeners have discovered Jennie’s profile as a result of her current popularity spike, which peaked at over 25 million monthly listeners.
This accomplishment has been greatly aided by her successful singles, SOLO and One of the Girls, which highlight her enormous appeal as a member of BLACKPINK as well as a solo performer.
Not only that, but Jennie is the first female K-pop solo artist to reach one billion Spotify streams altogether across all of her credits without releasing a solo album. Her first solo album is highly anticipated by her followers in the interim.
Jennie’s Latest Activity
As a solo artist, Jennie has been progressing significantly. She reached new heights with You & Me in 2023, which topped the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart, following the release of her debut single SOLO in 2018. Under the stage name Jennie Ruby Jane, she made her acting debut in HBO’s The Idol and won plaudits for it.
In November 2023, Jennie also established Odd Atelier, her own record label. Her recent collaboration on the song SPOT! with rapper-producer ZICO further delighted fans with her flexibility in music.
