Blackpink's Jennie Makes History As First Solo Female South Korean Artist On Billboard Chart

Blackpink member Jennie has totally nailed it on the Billboard charts with her brand new single, "One of the Girls." This banger, featuring The Weeknd and actor Lily-Rose Depp , has been selling like crazy. It's making a big splash on the Billboard rankings this week, marking a major milestone for Jennie's career.

"One of the Girls" jumps into the R&B Digital Song Sales chart at number 11, just barely missing out on a top 10 spot. But hey, let's not overlook the fact that Jennie is making history as the first solo female South Korean artist to make it onto this chart. While we've seen other South Korean artists like RM from BTS, Sam Kim, and Jay B from Got7 leave their mark on the R&B Digital Song Sales chart before, Jennie stands out as a true trailblazer for female soloists and girl groups.

In the past, we've seen South Korean stars briefly pop up on the R&B Digital Song Sales chart, but their presence was short-lived. RM, Sam Kim, and Jay B all managed to earn a spot on the list, but it didn't last long. It's still not very common for foreign artists, especially those from countries like South Korea, to score R&B hits in the US. However, as these artists expand their reach and experiment with different musical styles, more and more of them are finding their way onto charts where they historically haven't performed so well.

"One of the Girls" is one of the freshest tunes to come out of the TV show The Idol. The show has been getting solid ratings, although critics have had mixed feelings about it. But hey, it has churned out some chart-topping tracks. The program has given us killer collaborations with big-name artists like Future, Playboy Carti, and Madonna , and these songs have found their way onto the Billboard charts. And guess what? Jennie isn't just lending her incredible vocals to the track, she's also starring in The Idol under the stage name Jennie Ruby Jane.

Meanwhile, the concert organizers for Blackpink in Vietnam have issued an apology for displaying a controversial map on their website. The map in question is one that Beijing uses to justify its claims in the South China Sea . The Vietnamese foreign ministry spokesman wasn't too happy about it, calling it a "hot button issue" and deeming it "unacceptable." But don't worry, the Beijing-based company has promised to replace the images. This controversy with Blackpink comes right after Vietnam banned the Barbie movie for the same reason.
