Lisa of Blackpink has made another significant mark on the Billboard Hot 100, entering the chart at No. 97 with her latest single, “New Woman,” a collaboration with Spanish pop sensation Rosalia. This achievement marks her fourth entry on the prestigious chart, further solidifying her status as a global music icon.

Lisa first made waves on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2021 with her solo debut album, which featured the singles “LaLisa” and “Money.” These tracks ranked at No. 84 and No. 90, respectively, showcasing her immediate impact as a solo artist. Her momentum continued earlier this year with the single “Rockstar,” released in June, which climbed to No. 70 on the chart, further demonstrating her consistent ability to resonate with a global audience.

In addition to her Billboard success, Lisa shared with her fans on Instagram that “New Woman” has also achieved impressive global recognition, ranking at No. 6 on the Billboard Global Excl. US chart. This underscores her widespread popularity beyond the United States and highlights the international appeal of her music.

Lisa’s achievements extend beyond chart success. She has been nominated in four categories for the upcoming 2024 MTV Video Music Awards with “Rockstar”: Best Choreography, Best Art Direction, Best Editing, and Best K-Pop. This impressive feat makes her the most nominated K-pop act this year. The award ceremony is set to take place on September 10 in New York, where Lisa’s potential to further make history will be closely watched.

As Lisa continues to break barriers and set new records, her influence in the global music industry only grows stronger. Fans and industry experts alike are eagerly anticipating her next moves, as she continues to shape the future of K-pop on the world stage.
