In just a few months, Lisa has become one of the most successful K-pop musicians in the history of one of Billboard’s radio charts. The singer and rapper, who originally hails from Thailand, but who rose to superstardom through her work in the South Korean music industry as one-fourth of Blackpink, began promoting her debut solo album Alter Ego in mid-2024, and is ongoing with at least one single still living on.
As she rides the airwaves alongside Maroon 5 on the band’s latest single “Priceless,” one of her own tunes is climbing again. It’s comeback helps her break out of a tie with the biggest name in K-pop history.
Lisa Beats BTS
“Moonlit Floor” is back on the Adult Contemporary chart this week. Lisa’s solo track reenters one of Billboard’s three pop radio lists at No. 28.
As it returns, “Moonlit Floor” earns an eleventh stay on this tally, allowing Lisa to break out of a match with BTS’s “Butter.” The two tracks had previously been tied as the fifth-longest-running K-pop hits on the ranking, but now, as Lisa moves forward, “Butter” — which held on for 10 frames — is pushed out of that top five.
BTS Still Claims the Longest-Running Hits
While BTS’s “Butter” may have been nudged down slightly, the South Korean boy band still lays claim to the two longest-running successes on the Adult Contemporary chart. Both “Dynamite” and “My Universe,” a collaboration with Coldplay, spent 20 frames on the airplay list.
That achievement is nearly matched by a fellow Blackpink star, Rosé, alongside her collaborator Bruno Mars. They are just one frame away from equaling that showing with “Apt.,” and will likely do so when Billboard refreshes its rankings shortly.
“Cupid” by Fifty Fifty remains two weeks ahead of “Moonlit Floor,” with 13 weeks on the Adult Contemporary chart. Since Lisa’s track has already fallen off the roster once, it’s difficult to predict whether it will manage to match Fifty Fifty’s performance and become one of the fourth longest-running wins by a K-pop star on this tally, or if it will settle for the history it’s already made.
Lisa Scores Back-To-Back Hits
This week, Lisa claims a pair of spaces on the Adult Contemporary chart, which is a major accomplishment for any K-pop musician. As “Moonlit Floor” returns, “Priceless” dips ever so slightly. In fact, it lands one spot below Lisa’s other track, even though it has only spent three weeks on the roster.
