The members of Blackpink are taking the global stage by storm not as a group this time, but through powerful solo activities that are shaking up international music charts and racking up hundreds of millions of views on YouTube.
From Billboard to the UK Official Charts, and now to blockbuster film soundtracks and collaborations with world-renowned artists, the group’s individual successes are nothing short of phenomenal.
Rosé: Record-Breaking Chart Streak
According to the UK Official Singles Chart on May 11, Rosé (BlackPink) and Bruno Mars‘s duet “APT.” secured the No. 25 spot. Though down one spot from the previous week, the song has now spent 29 consecutive weeks on the chart—a historic achievement for any Korean artist since the chart’s reorganization in 2014.
Riding this wave of momentum, Rosé recently released “Messy,” the original soundtrack for the upcoming film F1: The Movie starring Brad Pitt. The song and its music video dropped on May 9, adding yet another international highlight to her ever-expanding resume.
Jennie: YouTube Queen with “Like Jennie”
Jennie (BlackPink) ‘s solo debut album is also making waves. Her title track “Like Jennie” climbed to No. 51 on the same UK chart, marking its ninth consecutive week on the list. Even more impressively, the song’s music video surpassed 100 million views on YouTube in just two months, making Jennie the first K-pop solo artist in 2025 to hit this milestone.
Lisa: Breaking Boundaries with Maroon 5
Lisa (BLACKPINK) recently made her solo chart debut at No. 69 with “Priceless,” a collaboration with global pop band Maroon 5. This track is the lead single from Maroon 5’s new full-length album, and marks the band’s first-ever collaboration with a K-pop artist. The union between Lisa’s dynamic charisma and Maroon 5’s polished pop sound has garnered attention across both K-pop and Western pop audiences.
What’s Next: Global Tours and Solo Glory
While the members shine as individuals, Blackpink isn’t pausing group activities. The quartet will launch a new world tour in July, beginning with a major concert at Goyang Stadium. The tour includes 18 shows across 10 cities, promising to keep fans worldwide engaged and excited.
The current trajectory of Blackpink’s members showcases their versatility, talent, and global appeal. Whether it’s charting for nearly 30 weeks, surpassing 100 million YouTube views, or collaborating with icons like Bruno Mars and Maroon 5, each member is carving her own path while expanding the influence of K-pop across the world.
With global concerts, chart domination, and high-profile partnerships, Blackpink’s solo era is more than a side project; it’s a force shaping the future of international music.
