JENNIE’s latest single, “Love Hangover,” has claimed the top spot in this week’s new music poll, which highlights releases from a variety of artists across genres.
The BLACKPINK star’s solo track, featuring Dominic Fike, received overwhelming support from fans, earning nearly 69% of the vote in a poll published on Friday (Jan. 31) by Billboard.
The win puts “Love Hangover” ahead of other major new releases, including The Weeknd’s Hurry Up Tomorrow, Latto and Playboi Carti’s “Blick Sum (Remix),” Morgan Wallen’s “I’m the Problem,” L.S. Dunes’ Violet, and others.
“Love Hangover” offers a breezy, laidback pop vibe, with a playful rap verse from Fike. The track also introduces fans to the K-pop star’s debut solo album, Ruby, which is set to drop on March 7. The song’s comedic music video features Riverdale star Charles Melton as JENNIE’s leading man.
Announced in late January, Ruby will feature 15 tracks, including the chart-topping single “Mantra,” which reached No. 2 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart and No. 3 on the Billboard Global 200. The album boasts an impressive list of collaborators, including Childish Gambino, Dua Lipa, Doechii, Dominic Fike, FKJ and Kali Uchis.
In a recent interview with Billboard, JENNIE opened up about the emotional process behind creating Ruby.
“It’s not nice to be someone who’s always like, ‘I’m sorry, I can’t say anything,’” she said of the project she began in early 2024. “I want to say I’m almost there.” Acknowledging the challenges she faced along the way, she added, “I’m just going to say, ‘I don’t do well with time.’”
Taking second place in the poll is JENNIE’s The Idol co-star The Weeknd, whose latest album, Hurry Up Tomorrow, finally dropped after delays caused by the wildfire crisis in Los Angeles. The set earned nearly 17% of the vote. Featuring collaborations with Lana Del Rey, Anitta and Travis Scott, Hurry Up Tomorrow marks the final chapter in The Weeknd’s album trilogy, following 2020’s After Hours and 2022’s Dawn FM.
