Jennie of BLACKPINK has added a new achievement to her global career. The superstar has earned another Gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), officially breaking her own record for the most RIAA certifications held by any K-pop solo artist.
A Fourth RIAA Certification With ‘ExtraL’
According to the RIAA’s newly updated “Gold & Platinum” listings on December 2, Jennie’s track ‘ExtraL’ has been certified Gold for surpassing 500,000 units in sales and streams in the United States. The song, which features Grammy nominated artist Deutch, is a standout track from Jennie’s first full-length album.
The achievement marks her fourth RIAA certification, extending her lead as the most certified K-pop soloist in history. Earlier in August, she earned Gold certifications for ‘MANTRA’ and ‘Like Jennie’, solidifying her global presence and consistent performance on the international charts.
Continuing to Set Milestones for K-pop Soloists
Jennie’s success with ‘ExtraL’ adds to a growing list of milestones in the U.S. market. Previously, she received a Platinum certification for ‘One of the Girls’, her collaboration with The Weeknd and Lily Rose Depp, making her one of the few Korean soloists to achieve such recognition. The RIAA awards certifications based on U.S. sales metrics: Gold (500,000 units), Platinum (1 million), Multi Platinum (2 million), and Diamond (10 million). Jennie’s expanding list of awards reflects her ability to resonate with a broad international audience and her continued influence in shaping the global pop landscape.
Upcoming Appearance at the 2026 Mad Cool Festival
Jennie’s international momentum continues as she prepares to join the lineup for the 2026 Mad Cool Festival in Madrid next July. The high-profile European music event is expected to draw major global acts, positioning Jennie for yet another stage that highlights her artistry and star power. With each new certification, Jennie not only adds to her personal legacy but also sets new benchmarks for K-pop solo artists worldwide. Her latest Gold certification reaffirms her status as a leading figure in global pop music and a trailblazer consistently redefining what’s possible for Korean soloists.
