BLACKPINK’s “Jump” Overtakes Aespa’s “Dirty Work” as Top-Selling K-Pop Single in China for 2025
Blackpink has officially broken their three-year musical silence with the release of “JUMP,” a fresh single that mixes retro dance sounds with a modern twist. The track caught fire immediately, quickly climbing charts across the globe.
What really stands out about this comeback is the group’s incredible success in China, a market known for being tough to crack thanks to strict policies and complicated distribution. “JUMP” stormed to the top spot on QQ Music’s Daily Best Selling Singles chart, selling more than 53,000 digital copies. It also hit number one on KuGou with over 14,000 copies sold—all within just 30 minutes of dropping. This performance underscores Blackpink’s continued dominance in one of the world’s biggest and most fiercely competitive music markets.
The momentum kept building fast. Within hours, “JUMP” was crowned the best-selling single on QQ Music for 2025, racking up more than 270,000 sales. This crushed any competition, both from Chinese and international artists alike.
By the end of the first day, sales in China surpassed 312,000 copies, with “JUMP” overtaking Aespa’s “Dirty Work” (which moved 299k copies) to become the best-selling single by a K-pop group in China in 2025. It even surpassed Jennie’s solo hit “Like JENNIE” (311k sold) to become the second best-selling K-pop single in China this year, only behind YUQI’s “Radio (DUM DUM),” which has sold 406,000 copies. Given the rapid pace of sales, it looks like “JUMP” will soon take over the charts entirely.
Looking ahead, Blackpink is already being tipped for several nominations at the 2025 China Year-End Awards, based on how well they’re doing. This shows once again how the group is redefining what it means to be global superstars in today’s music scene.
This success story isn’t just about numbers—it highlights Blackpink’s savvy ability to navigate and win in one of the trickiest markets around.
Congratulations to Blackpink on yet another huge win!
