Ever since the BLACKPINK members chose to leave YG Entertainment for their individual projects, BLINKs have been enjoying an exciting wave of solo comebacks. It has been a pretty good four or five months, as all the BLACKPINK members’ solo albums have been shining and giving fans a taste of their personal choices and creativity. This has allowed them to explore the styles they are best at or have been wanting to try. With three of the four members now managing their own agencies, we’ve also seen a newfound sense of freedom in their artistry.
However, we are here to rank the solo albums by BLACKPINK members based on their artistic growth and how much they were able to shine through the production, songwriting, and overall sound that made an impact on the audience. Also, I would like to mention that this ranking is completely based on my personal taste and how I felt about each member’s album, so it might differ from other opinions. This is not meant to hate on any members.
BLACKPINK Members’ Solo Albums Ranked
4. Jisoo’s Amortage
While the other members released full-length albums, Jisoo made her comeback with the mini-album Amortage. Her title track, Earthquake, is a delightful fusion that reminded me of her debut single Flower, which is a bomb song. However, for me, that was the issue—I didn’t feel like she was doing something different. It’s groovy but too slow to make you want to hit the dance floor. The other songs from the EP were just okay and nothing that really made me feel anything. I hope that she will soon make a comeback with a full album and give us the Jisoo we have all been waiting to see.

3. Lisa’s Alter Ego
Lisa is known as the performer and dancer of the group—she brings out an energy that pulls you in because she knows how to present herself. However, with this album, I felt that was missing. Her songs were not something I found exciting after listening to them two or three times, and I can’t see them having a long run.
This one didn’t do a lot for me, which was surprising because I really liked a few of the singles. I loved New Woman with Rosalía, and I also quite liked Born Again with Doja Cat and RAYE, even though it felt more like a RAYE song than a Lisa song. Still, it was a strong entrance to the album. Where it starts to go wrong is that she loses her personality within this album.
The vocals feel overproduced at many points, particularly on the rap-heavy tracks like F Up The World. Rapunzel with Megan Thee Stallion is slightly better, but still not overly exciting—it feels too generic. I just hope that with her upcoming project, she chooses songs that are not only about how badass she is and tries to explore more.

2. Rosé’s Rosie
At number two, I’m going with Rosé’s album, Rosie. She has always been my favorite vocalist, and even her previous solo singles like On the Ground and Gone are songs I still go back to. So, I had high expectations, and to be honest, she did not disappoint with this album.
She had the biggest hit among the girls, teaming up with Bruno Mars on APT, which has gone on to do huge things. After APT, the rest of the album leans into a more emotional side, where we get to see a personal touch as she wrote about her own love life. This really connected with me. Songs like Toxic Till The End have become a favorite of mine, as they reflect a phase I think everyone has gone through. Even Number One Girl and 3AM have become really memorable ballads for me. However, I feel like Too Bad For Us, Call At The End, and Game Boy were easily forgettable. But still, this album is pretty good.

1. Jennie’s Ruby
Jennie’s Ruby is one of the freshest albums right now, as it was just released a few days ago. I find this album to be pretty strong and energetic, starting with the title track Like Jennie. Even her pre-release tracks like Mantra and ExtraL with Doechii give off a sense of female empowerment.
I felt like this was the most natural and innovative album among the solo projects. Even the more straightforward pop songs like Start A War have interesting vocal production and instrumental choices that really make you sit up and listen. Just when you think you know exactly where it’s going, the album switches things up, and I think that’s really cool. Ruby as a record is a solid 10/10, as it brings out all kinds of emotions—from hype and confidence to softer moments with songs like Twin, which is my personal favourite.
