Jennie from BLACKPINK has hit a massive milestone on Spotify, joining her bandmate Rosé as the only K-pop artists to cross 50 million monthly listeners. This exciting news comes after the release of her album Ruby, which has taken the music world by storm. With this achievement, Jennie has solidified her place as a top artist of the decade, reaching a peak of 51.28 million listeners and overtaking BTS’s previous record of 45.8 million.

Jennie’s Rise to the Top

Jennie’s journey to this record-breaking moment started with Ruby, her solo album that fans and critics have praised endlessly. Released recently, the album pushed her Spotify numbers to new heights. She first broke the 50 million mark as a solo artist, a huge win for her career.

Her streams kept climbing day by day, hitting a high of 51.28 million monthly listeners. This number could grow even more with her upcoming performance at Coachella, a major music festival in the US set to happen soon. Fans, known as Blinks, are buzzing with excitement over her success, and it’s clear her popularity isn’t slowing down.

Rosé Sets the Bar High

Jennie isn’t alone in this achievement. Her BLACKPINK bandmate Rosé already made history as the first K-pop artist to surpass 50 million monthly listeners on Spotify. Rosé’s current peak stands at an incredible 71.12 million, making her the top K-pop artist on the platform.

Rosé reached this milestone after releasing her debut solo album Rosie late last year, on December 6, 2024. Her hit single APT., a collaboration with Bruno Mars, played a massive role in her record-breaking numbers. The song has racked up over 300 million streams and continues to dominate charts worldwide. Together, Jennie and Rosé have set a new standard for K-pop soloists.

A Historic Moment for BLACKPINK

What makes this even more special is that Jennie and Rosé are the only K-pop artists to achieve this feat after dropping their debut solo albums. Jennie now holds the second-highest monthly listener peak among K-pop acts, right behind Rosé.

This milestone puts them ahead of BTS, who previously peaked at 45.8 million monthly listeners as a group. For Blinks, it’s a proud moment to see two members of BLACKPINK leading the way on Spotify, showing their strength as individual artists while still being part of the iconic group.

What’s Next for Jennie and Rosé

Jennie’s upcoming Coachella performance could push her numbers even higher. The festival, known for drawing huge crowds and global attention, is the perfect stage for her to shine. Fans are already predicting that her live set will boost streams for Ruby and her other hits like Mantra and One of the Girls, which have also performed strongly on Spotify.

Rosé, meanwhile, continues to ride the wave of Rosie’s success. With APT. still a fan favorite and her album earning praise for its personal and emotional tracks, she’s showing no signs of slowing down. Both artists are proving they have bright futures as solo stars.

Fan Reactions and Global Impact

Blinks around the world are celebrating this double victory. Social media is filled with posts praising Jennie and Rosé for their hard work and talent. Many fans point out how rare it is for two artists from the same group to dominate like this, especially in the competitive world of K-pop.

Their success also highlights BLACKPINK’s global influence. Even as soloists, Jennie and Rosé are carrying the group’s legacy forward, breaking records and reaching new audiences. Their Spotify milestones are a big deal not just for K-pop but for music worldwide.
