“Mantra” has achieved impressive chart performance across multiple major music platforms in China. Jennie’s song reached the top on platforms such as Apple Music, QQ Music, NetEase Music, KuGou, and even QQ Music’s K-Pop Music Videos chart. This feat has garnered praise and attention, as it’s a significant accomplishment for any artist, especially in the highly competitive Chinese market.

Not only has “Mantra” topped the charts in China, but Jennie’s solo work has also seen strong results globally, including in the U.S. and South Korea. The song reached the top 10 in all South Korean charts and even claimed the number one position on U.S. iTunes. With such positive international reactions, it’s clear that Jennie’s solo career continues to thrive, and her latest release is no exception.
Netizens have taken notice of her achievements, with many discussing how her success compares to previous releases by BLACKPINK. Fans are particularly impressed with how Jennie has managed to break new ground in China, a market where even her group had not reached similar heights with earlier songs.
- “Apparently, even BLACKPINK couldn’t achieve that… Among all foreign artists this year, Jennie has the best results on China’s QQ Music. She’s really hit it big in China. I guess the song fits the Chinese style.”
- “BLACKPINK is insanely popular in China, lol. And Jennie is the most popular member among them.”
- “There were so many people criticizing because they said the pre-release track didn’t perform well, but they must be out of their minds. There’s no way Jennie’s results are bad.”
- “I heard she also ranked #1 on U.S. iTunes… It seems like the international response is definitely strong. Even in Korea, it made it to the top 10, and if she starts doing music show promotions, it could climb even higher.”
- “Jennie being #1 on China’s app charts is the first time for a BLACKPINK song, even counting the group.”
