Jennie Achieved 1 Billion Streams On Spotify Thanks To Her Collaboration OST With The Weeknd?
BLACKPINK’s Jennie set another record for herself even though she has not yet released a solo album
Recently, Jennie continued to break a record in her solo career. After presenting fans with the song “You & Me”, the main rapper of BLACKPINK recently entered the billion streams club although she has just released 2 solo singles and 1 collaboration with The Weeknd & Lily-Rose Depp.
Without a solo album, Jennie already earned 1 billion streams on Spotify for all her credits, including pre-debut songs, and became the 5th K-pop solo singer to achieve this. Not long ago, the song “One of the Girls”, known as the OST collaboration with The Weeknd and Lily-Rose Depp for the drama “The Idol”, suddenly climbed back on music charts 5 weeks after its release.
The Weeknd also released 4 other versions of this song and boosted its streams to reach a new peak on Spotify. According to Luminate, “One of the Girls” streams increased from 1.9 million to 4.1 million in the US within one week. On TikTok, Jennie’s part became viral and was added to numerous videos.
The latest update of Spotify showed “One of the Girls” rose 8 spots to place No.11 on the Global Chart with 3.380.287 streams. If this upward trend continues, there is a high possibility that the song will appear on Billboard Hot 100 in a very short time. If that happens, Jennie will have the first Hot 100 hit in her 7-year career. The song even debuted at No.17 on Bubbling Under this week.
Many people think Jennie’s achievement was mostly because it was a collaboration with The Weeknd. However, “One of the Girls” only contributed partly to the total streams she had. In particular, Jennie’s first solo song “SOLO” has surpassed 563 million streams on Spotify. Released this year, “You & Me” already gained 89 million streams for the main track and 37.6 million streams for the Coachella version.
In addition, Billboard also pointed out that BLACKPINK’s huge fandom also contributed greatly to promoting Jennie’s viral part on SNS and helping the song rise on charts.
Earlier, Jennie surpassed NewJeans to become the female K-pop artist with the most Spotify monthly listeners. The number of her monthly listeners has already reached 25.2 million. After wrapping up BLACKPINK’s world tour “BORN PINK”, Jennie has continuously hinted at her solo album preparation. Attention is focused on what other records Jennie will break when she officially releases a solo album.
