Rosé's monthly listeners fell from a record 71.1M in December 2024 to about 27M by late 2026, the sharpest drop of the four BLACKPINK members. Her 'APT.' reach came from one event.

02Worth knowing
What the AIs noticed while building the list.
Jennie's 48.1M monthly listeners are nearly three times Lisa's 17.3M and well above Rosé's 27M, even though Jennie has never had a Hot 100 No. 1.
All seven BTS members have reached the Billboard 200 top 10 as soloists, and five albums (GOLDEN, FACE, MUSE, Layover, D-DAY) peaked at exactly No. 2.
Having the most Hot 100 entries is not the same as the most success: j-hope has nine entries and no 400M song, while Lisa has seven entries and six 400M songs.
Rosé's career is more than 'APT.': Kworb also lists 'On the Ground' (598M), 'toxic till the end' (491M) and 'Gone' (480M) above 400M streams.
03Questions people ask
Which BLACKPINK member has the most successful solo career?
It depends on the measure. Jennie leads on current reach (48.1M monthly listeners), Rosé on US peaks ('APT.' No. 3, rosie No. 3) and Lisa on catalogue (six songs past 400M streams).
Source ↗Which BLACKPINK member is most successful solo?
Sources disagree mostly on dates. Rosé's listener record is quoted as 41.4M (the day she broke it, Nov 2024) and as 71.1M (her later peak). Lisa's and Jennie's 'seven Hot 100 entries' were six each before 2026.
Source ↗Which BLACKPINK member has the most successful solo album?
Rosé's rosie, which debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 with 102,000 units. Lisa's Alter Ego and Jennie's Ruby both peaked at No. 7, and Jisoo's AMORTAGE missed the chart.
Which BLACKPINK member has the most successful solo career in 2025?
It was split. Rosé's 'APT.' peaked at No. 3 in February 2025, Lisa's Alter Ego hit No. 7 in March, and Jennie's Ruby also hit No. 7 before her listeners passed 48M.

What ChatGPT noticed
The answer to which BLACKPINK member is most successful changes with the measure. Jennie led the October 22, 2026 monthly-listener snapshot at 48.1 million, while Rosé had the largest single Spotify song among the four in the cited data, with APT. above 2.67 billion streams. Lisa's six songs above 400 million streams strengthen the case for catalogue breadth.
Rosé's APT. is an enormous hit, but the claim that her entire career rests on Bruno Mars is incomplete. Kworb also lists On The Ground, toxic till the end and Gone above 400 million Spotify streams apiece. Those tracks are materially relevant to a catalogue-based assessment.
Jennie's featured One Of The Girls has nearly 2.91 billion Spotify streams in Kworb's October 18 snapshot, but that collaboration should not be treated as a solo-only track. Her lead-artist streams and the performance of SOLO, like JENNIE and Mantra offer a more complete career picture.
Jimin's Who and Like Crazy together account for more than four billion Spotify streams in the October 2026 listing, while several other tracks exceed 400 million. That breadth is a strong counterexample to the idea that BTS members' solo careers can be judged only by their biggest single.

- 1Jennie (BLACKPINK)
48 million monthly listeners — clear No. 1 among all K-pop soloists — powered by both collabs and a growing solo catalogue
Source ↗ - 2Rosé (BLACKPINK)
APT. alone delivered a Hot 100 No. 3, 35+ weeks and 2.6 billion streams — the single biggest solo career catalyst of the decade

Only K-pop soloist with two tracks above 1.5 billion Spotify streams and multiple Hot 100 top-5s from one album

What Grok noticed
Jennie’s 48 million monthly listeners tower over every other K-pop soloist; the gap to Rosé (27M) and Lisa (17M) is larger than most expected.
Lisa and Jennie are tied at seven Hot 100 entries each — the record for female K-pop soloists — yet their audience reach differs by nearly 30 million monthly listeners.
🇺🇸 Gemini10 places
The same question, answered by Gemini alone. The final list above combines all the AIs.

Sealed BLACKPINK's milestone of having every member chart on the Hot 100 with 'Eyes Closed' (No. 72), while her solo debut 'Flower' drove over 500 million Spotify streams and 600 million video views.

The same question, answered by StepFun alone. The final list above combines all the AIs.
- 1Jungkook (BTS)
The only act here with a Hot 100 No. 1, the biggest US solo album debut by a Korean artist (210,200 units) and more than 11.6 billion Spotify streams.
- 2Lisa (BLACKPINK)
Seven Hot 100 entries and six solo songs past 400 million streams - the deepest self-built solo catalogue of any group member - plus the two biggest soloist YouTube debuts ever.
- 3Jennie (BLACKPINK)
The biggest current audience in K-pop solo, about 48 million monthly listeners, and the first K-pop co-billed No. 1 on the all-format Radio Songs chart.
- 4Jimin (BTS)
Two No. 2 Billboard 200 albums, the highest peaks of any K-pop soloist, and a Hot 100 No. 1 - on the smallest current audience in this top five.
- 5Rose (BLACKPINK)
The all-time K-pop monthly-listener record, 71.1 million, and the highest Hot 100 peak by a female K-pop soloist - both resting largely on one song with Bruno Mars.
- 6V (BTS)
Five Hot 100 entries and a No. 2 album, with three solo songs past 400 million streams - and not one of them a US radio hit.
- 7Jin (BTS)
The last BTS member to reach the Billboard 200 top 10 solo - Happy at No. 4 - with three Hot 100 entries and a billion-stream song.
- 8Jisoo (BLACKPINK)
A No. 2 Billboard Global 200 hit and 641 million streams from 'FLOWER' - but one Hot 100 entry and no Billboard 200 album.
- 9Suga / Agust D (BTS)
D-DAY hit No. 2 on the Billboard 200 with 140,000 units, one of the biggest US solo album debuts by any Korean act - with almost no Hot 100 presence.
Source ↗ - 10j-hope (BTS)
More Hot 100 entries than any other K-pop soloist, nine, and not one song past 400 million Spotify streams.
What StepFun noticed
Rose's monthly listeners fell from a record 71.1 million in December 2024 to about 27 million by late 2026 - the sharpest post-peak drop of the four BLACKPINK members and the clearest sign that 'APT.'s reach was event-driven.
🇨🇳 DeepSeek10 places · 1 notes
The same question, answered by DeepSeek alone. The final list above combines all the AIs.
- 1Rosé (BLACKPINK)
APT. is the only K-pop solo song with 2.6 billion Spotify streams and a No. 3 Hot 100 peak — but her current 26.3 million monthly listeners sit far below her 71 million peak.
- 2Jungkook (BTS)
Three solo songs over 1 billion Spotify streams and a No. 1 Hot 100 hit, yet his current monthly listeners (14.8 million) are below Jennie's.
Source ↗ - 3Jennie (BLACKPINK)
Highest current monthly listeners of any K-pop soloist (48.7 million) and a No. 5 Hot 100 hit — but no song has crossed 1 billion Spotify streams.
Source ↗ - 4Jimin (BTS)
Four solo songs past 400 million Spotify streams, including a 2.5-billion-stream No. 12 Hot 100 hit, but only 5.2 million current monthly listeners.
Source ↗ - 5Lisa (BLACKPINK)
Seven Hot 100 entries — the most of any BLACKPINK member — but her highest peak is No. 68.
- 6V (BTS)
Four solo songs past 400 million Spotify streams and a No. 2 Billboard 200 album, but only 3.9 million current monthly listeners.
- 7Jisoo (BLACKPINK)

What DeepSeek noticed
Jennie has the highest current monthly listeners (48.7 million) of any K-pop soloist despite never having a No. 1 Hot 100 hit — her reach is spread across several songs and a high-profile collaboration.
🇨🇳 Wenxin10 places
The same question, answered by Wenxin alone. The final list above combines all the AIs.
- 1Rosé — solo career (2021–2026)
41.4 million monthly listeners and the only K-pop soloist to own a Hot 100 top-5 — one collab carried her further than anyone's solo discography
- 2Lisa — solo career (2021–2026)
Seven Hot 100 entries and the deepest solo catalogue, but the monthly-listener crown goes to Rosé — Lisa wins on breadth, not peak audience
- 3Jennie — solo career (2018–2026)
Strong streaming catalogue with two 200M+ solo songs but zero Hot 100 entries — US radio sees her as absent despite global pull
- 4Jisoo — solo career (2023–2026)
One Hot 100 entry and a 160M-stream catalogue — the quietest BLACKPINK solo profile by the numbers
- 5Bang Chan (Stray Kids) — solo / lead-artist work (2022–2026)
As Stray Kids' leader and solo contributor he carries a group with 18M+ monthly Spotify listeners — but true solo chart data is thin
- 6Taeyang (BIGBANG) — solo career (2008–2026)
Viber 400M-stream solo hit 'Eyes, Nose, Lips' but his US chart presence is limited to a niche K-pop audience
- 7Jungkook — solo career (2023–2026)
'Seven' was a global smash but Hot 100 peaked at No. 1 — a rare solo K-pop feat; monthly listeners rival Lisa's
- 8V — solo career (2023–2026)
'Fri(end)s' and 'Christmas Tree' total ~350M streams but no Hot 100 entries — BTS brand power without US chart crossover
- 9Jimin — solo career (2023–2026)
'Like Crazy' hit No. 1 on Hot 100 — but a single mega-hit is a narrower base than Jungkook's or Lisa's catalogue
- 10Jin — solo career (2022–2026)
'The Astronaut' was the first BTS solo Hot 100 No. 1 but streaming numbers trail the other BTS soloists — the youngest sibling acts last here
🇨🇳 Kimi10 places · 2 notes
The same question, answered by Kimi alone. The final list above combines all the AIs.
- 1Jungkook of BTS
The catalogue king: 'Seven' is the only K-pop song past 3 billion Spotify streams, and GOLDEN's 212,000 units are the biggest US week ever for a Korean soloist.
- 2Jimin of BTS
The only K-pop soloist with a Hot 100 No. 1 — and the only one with two No. 2 albums, one of which (MUSE) set the 25-consecutive-week Billboard 200 record.
- 3Rosé of BLACKPINK
The chart-record holder: APT. made her the first K-pop female act in the Hot 100 top 3, and her 41.4M monthly listeners broke the all-time K-pop solo record.
- 4Jennie of BLACKPINK
Today's reach queen — 48.1M monthly listeners, the No. 1 K-pop soloist on Spotify right now — but her biggest US hit is technically a Weeknd song.
Source ↗ - 5Lisa of BLACKPINK
The 400-million club's landlord — six solo songs past 400M Spotify streams, more than any K-pop soloist — while US radio still won't play her and her Hot 100 peak is No. 69.
Source ↗ - 6V of BTS
Layover's No. 2 tied the BTS solo-album ceiling — achieved with soft, jazzy Korean-language pop and no US radio machine behind it.
Source ↗ - 7Jisoo of BLACKPINK
The million-seller with the thinnest global streaming base: Me made her K-pop's first female million-seller, but her 6.3M monthly listeners are barely an eighth of Jennie's.
- 8Suga / Agust D of BTS
The rapper-producer who took D-Day to No. 2 — and charted in the US with Daechwita rapping entirely in Korean back in 2020.
- 9RM of BTS
Indigo's No. 3 is the best US album peak for a K-pop solo rapper — an art-project career built on Erykah Badu and Anderson .Paak features rather than singles.
- 10J-Hope of BTS
The first BTS member to crack the Billboard 200 solo (Jack in the Box, No. 6) — and On the Street with J. Cole gave him a No. 60 Hot 100 entry on his own terms.
What Kimi noticed
Monthly listeners follow the current single, not the career: Rosé's record 41.4M peak (Nov 2024) was almost entirely APT.-driven, and today Jennie leads 48.1M to Rosé's 27.2M — the metric swaps leaders with each release cycle.
All four BLACKPINK members have passed 1 billion solo Spotify streams — a whole-group milestone that almost no Western pop group (even the biggest) has matched; each member chose a different US major (Atlantic, Columbia, RCA, Warner).
