Blackpink's Jennie Makes Radio History In America
Jennie's new single 'Handlebars' debuts at No. 40 on the Adult Pop Airplay chart, making her just ... More the third female K-pop soloist to hit the U.S.-based radio ranking.

(Photo by Foc Kan/WireImage) The past several months have been busy on the Billboard charts for the women who make up the girl group Blackpink. All four singers have released music on their own, and each of them has made history in one way or another – and some of them continue to do so. Jennie is the latest talent from the K-pop outfit to manage a special feat on the American rankings this week. As her new single 'Handlebars' makes its way to radio in the U.S., Jennie manages something she's never done before on her own and joins some familiar faces in doing so. 'Handlebars,' Jennie's latest focus track, debuts on the Adult Pop Airplay chart this week. The tune opens at No. 40, beginning its run on the tally in last place, but still earning a very important spot. The single, which features Dua Lipa, marks Jennie's first appearance on the Billboard ranking, which measures the most successful tracks on U.S. radio stations that cater to a slightly older audience at pop stations. As 'Handlebars' arrives, Jennie becomes only the third female K-pop soloist (any solo artist known primarily for their work in the K-pop genre) to land on the Adult Pop Airplay chart. She follows in the footsteps of her Blackpink bandmates Rosé and Lisa, who have already managed this same accomplishment. In fact, both of them has now placed two different tracks on the list. This frame is particularly packed with K-pop stars, because three of the four singers in Blackpink appear on the Adult Pop Airplay chart at the same time. As Jennie starts at No. 40 with 'Handlebars,' Rosé's 'Apt.' keeps at its all-time peak of No. 5. Meanwhile, Lisa's 'Born Again,' a collaboration with Doja Cat and Raye, lifts from No. 40 to No. 38, reaching its high point. Rosé and Lisa both have experience on the Adult Pop Airplay ranking, and their previous singles have also performed well. Coincidentally, both singers initially peaked at the same spot. Lisa's 'Moonlit Floor' reached as high as No. 38 and held on for six weeks. Rosé's 'Toxic Till the End' spent just three frames on the tally earlier this year, also climbing to No. 38 before falling away – all while 'Apt.' was still going strong, and even climbing. When looking at all K-pop soloists, Jennie becomes just the fourth to place on the Adult Pop Airplay chart. BTS's Jung Kook leads this select group with three entries. Jung Kook has cracked the top 10 once, with 'Left and Right,' a duet with Charlie Puth, which soared to No. 9. His solo single 'Seven,' which features rapper Lotto, climbed to No. 19 in 2023, and he returned to the ranking with 'Too Much,' a joint effort with The Kid Laroi and Central Cee, which rose to No. 22.

BLACKPINK'S JENNIE Snares Dua Lipa In Her Glittery Web in Dreamy ‘Handlebars' Video
BLACKPINK's JENNIE snares Dua Lipa in her glittery web in the trippy video for the K-pop superstar's solo track 'Handlebars.' The dreamy visual for the mid-tempo tune directed by BRTHR (Charli XCX, the Weeknd) dropped on Monday morning (March 10) and it opens with JENNIE using a two-wheeled metaphor to lament her proclivity for falling too far, too fast. 'I trip and fall in love/ Just like a Tuesday drunk/ I always go all in, all in, all in/ Over the handlebars/ Hitting the ground so hard,' JENNIE sings on the chorus of the chilled-out R&B track while wearing a glittery shirt over a metallic mini dress as she strolls through a rain-streaked, neon landscape.

Miguel's 'Sweet Dreams' as This Week's Favorite New Music JENNIE spends most of the video laying on her back on an electrified, heart-shaped spider's web when she's not taking selfie videos while rolling around on a spinning, round bed. A glowing Dua transports in from another dimension a minute in, languidly singing, 'I wonder what you're doing for tonight and forever/ I could be the rest of your life or whatever/ My lips and your lips, we could press them together,' before the women team up on the soothing chorus: 'I trip and fall in love/ Just like a Tuesday drunk/ I always go all in, all in, all in.' For the rest of the visual the pair croon back-to-back and lounge side-by-side in the giant spider web in a futuristic landscape filled with piles of glitchy monitors and colorful flashing lights. The body meld transforms into a mind meld near the end, when each woman shoots streams of shiny water from their eyes, with the separate rivulets crashing into each other to form a floating, fiery disco ball heart. 'Handlebars' appears on JENNIE's just-released 15-track debut solo LP, Ruby, which also features collaborations with Childish Gambino, Dominic Fike, Doechii, FKJ and Kali Uchis.
