Financial Distress Soars as Firms Battle Rising Costs
Lisa's "Born Again" Climbs U.S. Radio Charts, Ties Rosé’s K-Pop Solo Record
It hasn’t been long since Lisa released her debut solo album, Alter Ego, and she’s showing no signs of slowing down. One of her latest singles, “Born Again,” is making waves across American radio, solidifying her place among the most successful K-pop soloists in U.S. airplay history.
“Born Again” Debuts on Adult Pop Airplay
This week, “Born Again” debuts on Billboard’s Adult Pop Airplay chart at No. 40. The ranking tracks songs gaining the most traction on adult pop and top 40 radio stations across the U.S., marking another major milestone for Lisa as she continues to expand her reach beyond the K-pop genre.
Lisa Repeats Her Chart Success
Lisa is no stranger to the Adult Pop Airplay chart. Earlier this year, she made her solo debut on the ranking with “Moonlit Floor,” which spent six weeks on the list and peaked at No. 38. Now, with “Born Again,” she has secured her second entry on the competitive radio chart, proving her staying power in the American market.
Lisa Ties Rosé for a K-Pop Solo Record
With two entries on the Adult Pop Airplay chart, Lisa ties her fellow BLACKPINK member Rosé for the most appearances by a female K-pop soloist on this specific ranking. This milestone is a testament to both artists’ growing influence beyond the K-pop industry and their ability to succeed in Western markets.
Interestingly, both Lisa and Rosé come from outside of South Korea—Lisa hails from Thailand, while Rosé was born in New Zealand and raised in Australia. Despite their international backgrounds, they’ve built their careers in K-pop and are now making waves on American airwaves.
Rosé Continues to Dominate the Charts
While Lisa’s latest success is impressive, Rosé is also maintaining a strong presence on U.S. radio. She currently has two singles charting on the Adult Pop Airplay list—her collaboration with Bruno Mars, “Apt.,” and her solo track “Toxic Till the End.” “Apt.” remains inside the top 10 for another week, highlighting Rosé’s ongoing success as a solo act.
Only Two K-Pop Acts Have More Entries
While Lisa and Rosé now share the record for the most entries by a female K-pop soloist on the Adult Pop Airplay chart, two other K-pop acts still lead the way: BTS and Jung Kook. Both have managed to land three tracks on the ranking, meaning Lisa and Rosé are just one more successful song away from matching the all-time leaders among K-pop stars in this category.
“Born Again” Also Rises on the Pop Airplay Chart
Lisa’s success isn’t limited to adult pop radio. “Born Again” is also climbing on Billboard’s Pop Airplay chart, which ranks the most-played songs across all mainstream top 40 radio stations in the U.S. This week, the track jumps to a new peak of No. 25, bringing Lisa closer to her all-time chart record.
Lisa’s Growing Impact in the U.S.
With “Born Again” gaining traction on both Adult Pop Airplay and Pop Airplay, Lisa continues to carve out a space for K-pop soloists in the competitive American music industry. As she maintains momentum, she’s not only setting records but also helping pave the way for future K-pop stars to find mainstream success in the U.S.
