BLACKPINK's Jennie has once again proven her immense global popularity by making a mark on the UK's main chart with her special single 'You & Me'.

According to the UK Official Singles Chart Top 100 released on the 13th (local time), Jennie's special single 'You & Me' successfully secured the 39th spot. With this, BLACKPINK has become the only K-pop female artist to have all members rank on this chart, which is considered one of the two major global charts alongside the US Billboard, with their solo songs.

Furthermore, Jennie topped both the Single Sales Chart and the Single Download Chart. This is a first-time record for a K-pop female solo artist. She also entered the Single Trending Chart at the 8th position, the highest for a K-pop female solo, reaffirming her dominant presence in the mainstream pop market.

In addition to the UK Official Chart, Jennie is also gaining popularity on various global platforms. 'You & Me' topped the iTunes Top Songs Chart in a total of 61 countries, including the US. On Spotify, the world's largest music streaming platform, it climbed to 13th on the Daily Top Songs Chart and maintained a good position, recording about 23.14 million streams in a week, including the Coachella version.

The song's impact is also significant on domestic music charts. Right after its release, 'You & Me' topped Naver Vibe and Bugs, and on Melon, South Korea's largest music site, it is rapidly climbing to the top ranks. This achievement was garnered solely based on Jennie's unique influence and the strength of the music itself, without any special pre-promotion.

'You & Me' is a song that offers a deep addiction with its dreamy synths combined with a melodious vocal. It was featured as Jennie's solo stage during their world tour. The album artwork, which complements the mood of the song, also became a major topic of discussion. The image, personally crafted by 'Takeuchi Naoko', the creator of the popular animation Sailor Moon, garnered positive reviews from renowned Japanese media outlets like Oricon, Fuji TV, and Nihon TV News, and received a warm response from local fans.
