BLACKPINK member Jennie has signed to Columbia Records as a solo artist in partnership with her record label and entertainment company ODDATELIER, it was announced Sunday (Sept. 8). The singer is slated to release a new solo single in October.

The news follows last December’s revelation that all BLACKPINK members had split with their label, YG Entertainment, for their solo output, while extending their contract with the label for group activities.

Last June, Jennie released “One of the Girls” alongside The Weeknd and Lily-Rose Depp, her co-stars on HBO’s The Idol. The track has since been streamed more than 1 billion times on Spotify alone and has been certified platinum by the RIAA; it also peaked at No. 18 on Billboard‘s Pop Airplay chart. She followed that up in October with “You & Me,” which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart, making her the second member of BLACKPINK to hit No. 1 on the survey after Rosé’s “On the Ground.”

Trending on Billboard

Earlier this year, Jennie dropped a pair of collaborative singles: “SPOT!” with ZICO and “Slow Motion” with Matt Champion. Her first solo single, the aptly-titled “SOLO,” was released in 2018 and went on to top Billboard‘s World Digital Song Sales chart.

Jennie was first introduced in 2016 as one-fourth of the K-pop girl group BLACKPINK, which in 2023 became the first Korean act ever to headline Coachella. The group has charted a total of nine songs on the Billboard Hot 100, with their highest-charting, “Ice Cream” with Selena Gomez, peaking at No. 13. With the release of the group’s second studio album, 2022’s Born Pink, BLACKPINK became only the third South Korean act ever to top the Billboard 200 after BTSProof and Stray KidsStray Kids Mini Album: Oddinary.
