Fan Support Propels Jennie to Top the Music Charts for the First Time
In the world of music, the release of a new album is always a significant event. Such is the case with Jennie's debut solo album, Ruby, which made its highly-anticipated debut in early 2025.
Despite not being released in the United States until March 7, 2025, Ruby has already made a splash on the U.K. music scene. The album has not yet appeared on the Official Albums chart in the U.S., as it was not released there in 2022, unlike its vinyl release in August of that year.
However, in the U.K., Ruby has been making waves. The album entered the Official Vinyl Albums chart at No. 8 upon its release, and it has continued to impress. This week, Ruby reappears at No. 72 on the Official Albums chart, which ranks the most-consumed titles of the week across all formats.
Ruby has also managed to make a strong showing on the all-genre albums ranking, peaking at No. 3. The album has been on the Official Vinyl Albums chart for at least a month and has managed to remain on multiple U.K. charts, including the Official Albums Sales, Official Physical Albums, and Official Albums charts.
Despite its strong performance, Ruby is not currently at the top of any of the U.K. charts it is on. It trails behind several new releases on the Official Vinyl Albums chart, including Wolf Alice, Laufey, Deftones, Royal Otis, Pendulum, and Kingfishr.
Interestingly, this is Jennie's first-ever appearance on the Official Vinyl Albums chart. Tyler, the Creator's Cherry Bomb also reappeared on the Official Vinyl Albums chart this week, hitting No. 5 - a new best for the Grammy winner's decade-old project on the ranking.
While Ruby is not the highest-ranking album on the Official Vinyl Albums chart this week, it has certainly made a strong debut and continues to impress fans and critics alike. With its catchy tunes and Jennie's powerful vocals, it's no wonder that Ruby has managed at least a month on every tally it's touched, except for the list where it debuted.
In conclusion, Jennie's debut solo album Ruby is off to a strong start in the U.K., with impressive showings on multiple charts. Fans of Jennie and music lovers alike will be eager to see where Ruby goes next.
