STORYSumnima Kandangwa
- Blackpink is one of the most successful girl groups of all time and together they are an unstoppable force of nature in the K-pop industry – but they enjoy lucrative solo careers too
- Jisoo was last to launch a solo album, called Me, which had 1 million pre-orders before its March 31 release, while Jennie’s Solo, Rosé’s R and Lisa’s Lalisa smashed records on Billboard and YouTube
Blackpink is widely regarded as the biggest K-pop girl group on the planet. It seems that anything the girls touch turns to gold, as the quartet – both individually and as a group – continue to smash records on international music charts. Currently in the middle of a world tour with tickets for shows constantly selling out, the girls have, without a doubt, amassed crazy success together.
With Jisoo being the last of the group to make her solo debut, we take a look at which member’s solo albums have performed the best …
4. Jisoo
Spotify: 0 monthly listeners
Sales: 1 million pre-orders sold for her Me album

Jisoo ranks last on the list since she’s the last of the quartet to release a solo album, which just came out on March 31. And if she doesn’t have any Spotify listeners at the time of writing, it’s only because her account was verified on March 30.
Nevertheless, fans clearly highly anticipated Jisoo’s solo debut, with over 1 million pre-orders for the album Me, which is set to release on March 31. According to WWD, this makes her the first female K-pop soloist in history to have over 1 million pre orders.
The 28-year-old singer has already amassed success in her career with lucrative endorsements with luxury houses like Dior and Cartier, as well as the Korean cosmetics brand Kiss Me. Not only that – her career in acting also took off with the K-drama Snowdrop.
Will she become the next Blackpink member to top music charts? Only time will tell …
3. Jennie
Spotify: 3.8 million monthly listeners
YouTube: “Solo” had 16 million views within 24 hours of its release
