On February 29, 2025, BLACKPINK's Jennie made history as the first female K-pop soloist to have three pre-release tracks chart on the Billboard Hot 100. This achievement comes after her latest single, ExtraL featuring Doechii, debuted at No. 75. The 29-year-old's previous tracks, Love Hangover and Mantra, peaked at No. 96 and No. 98, respectively.
In the male K-pop soloist category, BTS' Jungkook previously achieved a similar feat with pre-release tracks from his album Golden. His single Seven, featuring Latto, debuted at No. 1, while 3D with Jack Harlow reached No. 5, making him the first male K-pop soloist to achieve this milestone. Now, Jennie has set the same record as a female artist.
Fans took to X to celebrate her milestone on social media. One fan on X wrote:

"I dont know how insane jennie has to be for her to debut all of her pre-releases for “ruby” on the billboard hot100 making her the first and only female kpop solo to do this, she is just too good at her craft —for sure the rest of the 12 will make names for their own selves too," a user noted.
