LE BOURGET, FRANCE – DECEMBER 12: Jennie Kim from Blackpink wears a white oversize jacket, a … [+]
Jennie, one of the four members of the South Korean girl group Blackpink, makes a noteworthy comeback on the Billboard charts this week with her newest song. This time around, she is not accompanied by her bandmates but rather two other stars, The Weeknd and Lily-Rose Depp.
The singer makes her debut on three charts she has never appeared on before with her latest release, a single titled “One of the Girls.” The cut was recorded and released in association with the TV show The Idol, which counts Jennie as one of its stars. The program has brought her success in a new field and now has landed her on several rankings she had not hit previously.
R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales
“One of the Girls” ranks lowest on the R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales list among the three Billboard charts that Jennie reaches for the first time this week. This tally considers both R&B and hip-hop songs and ranks them based on sales. Jennie’s latest single opens at No. 19 on the 25-spot tally.
Hot R&B Songs
On the Hot R&B Songs chart, “One of the Girls” launches at No. 14. This chart focuses solely on R&B songs, and Billboard has labeled this collaborative hit as that genre. The list takes into account various forms of consumption, including streams, radio play, and sales. While the song may not have received significant radio attention, its strong sales performance appears to have compensated for it.
R&B Digital Song Sales
Among the trio of Billboard charts that “One of the Girls” enters this week, the song performs best on the R&B Digital Song Sales ranking. It opens at No. 11, narrowly missing a top 10 placement by just one space. This chart specifically ranks the best-selling individual R&B cuts in the U.S., and clearly fans were eager to buy the latest from the Blackpink talent.
