[OSENWORLD] BLACKPINK’s JENNIE continues to rewrite history as a solo artist. Her first full-length album Ruby has re-entered the Billboard 200, marking a new record for K-pop soloists.
According to Billboard’s latest chart (dated Sept. 6), Ruby returned to the Billboard 200 at No. 153 while also placing No. 5 on the Vinyl Albums chart. Vinyl sales highlight the album’s enduring demand months after its release.
In the U.K., Ruby reappeared at No. 72 on the Official Albums Chart (Aug. 29) and reached No. 8 on the Vinyl Albums Chart — the highest for any K-pop artist this year on vinyl.
Both Mantra and Like JENNIE, the title track of Ruby, were recently certified Gold by the RIAA, bringing her total to three RIAA-certified singles — the most for any K-pop solo artist.
JENNIE is also the only K-pop act included in “The Best Albums of 2025 So Far” lists published by Rolling Stone, Complex, and Billboard. Her title track Like JENNIE was crowned No. 1 on Billboard’s “25 Best K-Pop Songs of 2025 (So Far): Critics’ Picks.”
With chart success, critical recognition, and record-breaking certifications, JENNIE continues to solidify her standing as one of the most influential K-pop soloists today.
