[스포츠경향=안병길 기자] BLACKPINK JENNIE has once again proven her immense global popularity by making a significant appearance on the UK main chart with her special single ‘You & Me’.
According to the UK Official Singles Chart Top 100 announced on the 13th (local time), JENNIE’s special single ‘You & Me’ successfully ranked 39th, securing a spot within the top 40. With this, BLACKPINK becomes the only K-pop female artist to have all members achieve solo entries on this chart, which is considered one of the two major global charts alongside the U.S. Billboard.
Furthermore, JENNIE secured the 1st position on both the Single Sales Chart and Single Download Chart. This achievement marked the first for any K-pop female solo artist. She also entered the Single Trending Chart at the highest position for a K-pop female solo artist at 8th place, further emphasizing her dominant presence in the mainstream pop market.

The song also resonates strongly on domestic music charts. Immediately after its release, ‘You & Me’ dominated the top spot on Naver Vibe and Bugs, and it’s rapidly rising to the top tiers on Melon, the largest music site in the country, eyeing the throne. All these achievements were garnered solely through JENNIE’s unique influence and the sheer power of the music itself, without any special pre-promotion.
‘You & Me’ is a song offering a deep addiction with its dreamy synths and captivating vocals, and it adorned JENNIE’s solo stage during the world tour.
