BLACKPINK’s Jennie Makes History with “Extra L” Debut on Billboard’s Hot Dance/Pop Songs Chart
BLACKPINK member Jennie has achieved a new milestone with her latest single, “Extra L,” debuting at No. 6 on Billboard’s Hot Dance/Pop Songs chart. The track, a collaboration with rapper Doechii, marks Jennie’s first entry on this relatively new chart, making her only the second female K-pop soloist to achieve this feat.
Jennie Joins Exclusive Club of K-pop Artists on Hot Dance/Pop Songs Chart
The Hot Dance/Pop Songs chart launched just two months ago, ranks the most-consumed dance-pop tracks in the U.S. based on streaming, sales, and radio airplay. Jennie’s “Extra L” is her first entry on this chart, joining her fellow BLACKPINK member Lisa, who previously reached No. 2 with her single “Born Again.” Lisa’s track, featuring Doja Cat and Raye, currently sits at No. 8 after three weeks on the chart.
Jennie’s achievement also places her among a small group of K-pop artists who have made an impact on the chart. Earlier this year, BIGBANG members G-Dragon, Taeyang, and Daesung debuted at No. 15 with their song “Home Sweet Home,” though it only spent one week on the ranking.
“Extra L” Dominates Multiple Billboard Dance Charts
Beyond the Hot Dance/Pop Songs chart, Jennie’s “Extra L” is making waves across other Billboard dance-focused rankings. The track debuts at No. 3 on the Dance Digital Song Sales chart, indicating strong sales performance. It also enters at No. 6 on the Dance Streaming Songs chart, reflecting its popularity on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music.
The Growing Influence of K-pop on Billboard’s New Chart
The Hot Dance/Pop Songs chart is still in its infancy, having launched just two months ago. As more K-pop artists experiment with dance-pop sounds, the number of entries from the genre is expected to grow. Jennie’s success with “Extra L” highlights her growing influence as a solo artist and underscores the global appeal of K-pop in the dance music space.
With this latest achievement, Jennie continues to solidify her position as a leading figure in the K-pop industry, both as a member of BLACKPINK and as a solo artist. As the Hot Dance/Pop Songs chart evolves, her success may pave the way for more K-pop acts to make their mark on this new ranking.
CONGRATULATIONS JENNIE!
