Blackpink star Lisa has made history with her latest solo hit, 'Rockstar,' which has debuted on charts worldwide, including the prestigious Hot 100 in the U.S. This achievement solidifies her position as the solo female K-pop artist with the most hits on the chart, surpassing CL.
Lisa, originally from Thailand, rose to fame in South Korea within the K-pop genre. Her success on the Hot 100 began in September 2021 with 'Lalisa,' followed by 'Money' later that year. With the entry of 'Rockstar' at No. 70, Lisa now holds the record for the most appearances by a solo female K-pop artist on the Billboard Hot 100.
Prior to Lisa's feat, CL shared the spot with two Hot 100 hits, 'Daddy' and 'Lifted.' Notably, Lisa's achievement reflects the increasing recognition of Asian artists in the American music industry.
Among other solo female K-pop artists, Jennie and Rosé from Blackpink, along with Youjeen, have each charted one song on the Hot 100. As a group, Blackpink boasts nine tracks on the Hot 100, placing them second among South Korean and K-pop acts, behind BTS.
Blackpink's success underscores the global appeal of K-pop music and its ability to resonate with audiences worldwide. Lisa's milestone on the Hot 100 further cements her status as a prominent figure in the music industry, breaking barriers and paving the way for future Asian artists to achieve international recognition.
As the K-pop wave continues to captivate audiences globally, artists like Lisa and Blackpink are at the forefront of this cultural phenomenon, showcasing the diversity and talent within the genre.
