In a testament to her sustained impact on the international music scene, BLACKPINK’s Jennie has reached a major milestone in the United States.
On March 20, 2026, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) updated its official certifications, revealing that Jennie’s solo track “Like Jennie” has officially been certified Platinum.
This achievement indicates that the song has surpassed 1,000,000 units in the U.S., combining physical sales and digital streaming equivalents.
The news further cements her position as a leading solo artist on the global stage, independent of her record-breaking activities with BLACKPINK.
A Rapid Ascent from Gold to Platinum
The journey to Platinum for “Like Jennie” has been remarkably swift. The track, which served as the lead single for her solo debut album Ruby, was first certified Gold (500,000 units) just seven months prior to this latest update.
This steady accumulation of sales and streams highlights the song’s longevity and its appeal beyond the initial release window.
RIAA certifications are the industry gold standard for measuring a song’s commercial success in the American market, and moving from Gold to Platinum in less than a year is a feat reserved for the industry’s most consistent performers.
This certification marks Jennie’s second career Platinum award from the RIAA. She previously earned her first Platinum certification for her collaboration “One Of The Girls.”

In addition to her Platinum hits, her discography continues to perform strongly across the board.
Last year, two other tracks from the Ruby era- the pre-release single “ExtraL” and the popular album track “Mantra”- were both officially certified Gold, demonstrating the overall commercial strength of her solo debut project.
Global Activities and Future Prospects
While her solo career continues to reach new heights, Jennie remains a vital force within BLACKPINK.
The group recently completed a successful series of performances in Hong Kong as part of their massive ongoing world tour, titled ‘Deadline.’
The tour has seen the group performing to sold-out arenas across the globe, further proving that the members’ individual successes only serve to strengthen the collective brand of the group.
The Platinum certification for “Like Jennie” comes at a time when K-pop soloists are increasingly finding a permanent foothold in the Western mainstream.
Jennie’s ability to secure multiple RIAA certifications underscores her influence as a fashion icon and musical trendsetter.
As she continues to balance her solo endeavors with group activities, the industry is looking forward to what the artist will do next under her Ruby persona.
For fans, this latest accolade is yet another reason to celebrate the “Jennie effect” that continues to dominate global charts and cultural conversations.
