Blackpink Joins BTS In A Major Chart Feat

Blackpink fans have waited years for the band to reunite and release new music, and their patience has finally paid off. The K-pop girl group recently delivered “Jump,” its first new single in years, which seems to be the beginning of a complete era.

While big things were expected from the track, the tune still manages to impress. “Jump” easily cracks the top 40 on the Hot 100 upon its arrival, earning the K-pop favorites not just another placement on Billboard’s most competitive songs tally, but a milestone hit — one that places the four musicians in rare company.

“Jump” Reaches the Hot 100’s Top 40

“Jump” launches at No. 28 on the Hot 100 this week. The tune likely would have opened in a loftier position had it not arrived during such a busy frame. Several songs from Justin Bieber’s surprise new album Swag open ahead of Blackpink, but this is just the beginning for “Jump” on the chart.

Blackpink Hits the Hot 100 for the Tenth Time

Blackpink earns its milestone tenth appearance on the Hot 100 as “Jump” launches. The group is only the second K-pop act in U.S. history to collect double-digit placements on the songs ranking, following BTS, which managed the feat some time ago. The South Korean boy band has scored 27 smashes throughout the years.

Sixth Top 40 Hit for Blackpink

“Jump” becomes Blackpink’s sixth top 40 hit on the Hot 100. The group — made up of singers Rosé, Jisoo, Jennie, and Lisa — previously climbed as high as No. 13 with “Ice Cream,” a collaboration with Selena Gomez, which dropped in September 2020. That cut remains the band’s highest-charting release to date.

The newly-released “Jump” now ranks as Blackpink’s fourth-highest-peaking cut on the chart, trailing “Ice Cream,” “Pink Venom,” and “Shut Down,” which peaked at Nos. 13, 22, and 25, respectively.

Blackpink Outpaces J-Hope With More Hot 100 Hits

Blackpink claims the second-most Hot 100 hits among all K-pop artists. The group is now two wins ahead of BTS star J-Hope, who has reached the list eight times as a soloist. Three of the four singers in Blackpink — Jennie, Lisa, and Rosé — have also earned multiple smashes on their own.

“Jump” Debuts on Nine Billboard Charts

Blackpink launches “Jump” on nine Billboard charts this week, and its starting position on the Hot 100 is among its lowest. The tune scores a top five debut on almost every other ranking, and the electronic dance single even conquers both of the company’s global lists and one sales-specific tally.
