Jennie of Blackpink entered Billboard’s Hot 100 at No. 74 with her solo single “ExtraL,” on the chart dated March 8.
Her collaboration with Grammy-winning rapper Doechii is her fourth solo entry on the main songs chart and the highest spot for the artist so far, surpassing her previous entry, “Love Hangover,” which ranked in at No. 96.
Both singles are prereleases from her upcoming first solo full album, “Ruby,” due out Friday. The album will consist of 15 tracks, with the focus track “Like Jennie.”
Meanwhile, Rose rose back up a spot on the chart to No. 6 with her Bruno Mars collaboration “APT.” The megahit has now spent 19 weeks on the chart, peaking at No. 3, a record for a K-pop solo female act.
