BLACKPINK have had a second headline week on the Billboard charts, with LISA’s new solo EP debuting on the Billboard 200 while JENNIE’s collaboration with Tame Impala climbs back into the Hot 100 top five. On the Billboard charts dated November 7, released in the United States on November 3, LISA’s Press Play debuted at No. 35 on the Billboard 200.
The same Billboard week gave BLACKPINK a second headline. Tame Impala and JENNIE’s “Dracula” returned to No. 5 on the Hot 100, according to allkpop’s chart coverage, putting two BLACKPINK members in the top tier of the American charts in the same week.
Two members, two charts
LISA’s Press Play is her new solo EP, released through her own Lloud Co. label with RCA. Its No. 35 debut on the Billboard 200 is a strong opening for a solo EP, and it comes in a week when the album chart was topped by My Chemical Romance’s The Black Parade, which jumped from No. 139 to No. 1 on the back of its 20th-anniversary reissue.
Elsewhere on that album chart, KATSEYE’s “Wild” placed at No. 38, BTS’s fifth studio album Arirang held at No. 57 in its 32nd week, CORTIS’s “GREENGREEN” re-entered at No. 90, and Stray Kids’ “This & That” placed at No. 116, according to allkpop. On the Hot 100, KATSEYE’s “Animal” sat at No. 27.
Dracula keeps climbing back
“Dracula” is not a debut-week spike. The Tame Impala and JENNIE collaboration has been building for weeks, and its return to No. 5 on the Hot 100 shows the song’s staying power. It sits in a top five led by Ella Langley’s record-breaking “Choosin’ Texas”, with Tate McRae’s “Housewife” at No. 2, Stella Lefty’s “Boston” at No. 3 and Morgan Wallen’s “Been by Now” at No. 4.
The song’s chart run has been one of the autumn’s most durable. JENNIE’s earlier chart coverage noted the track logging weeks inside the Hot 100 top 10, and its return to No. 5 on the November 7 chart underlines how the collaboration has held its audience well beyond release week.
A strong week for K-pop on Billboard
The November 7 charts were a strong week for K-pop overall. BTS’s Arirang held at No. 57 in its 32nd consecutive week on the Billboard 200, CORTIS re-entered at No. 90, and LISA’s debut at No. 35 gave the genre another top-40 entry. For BLACKPINK, the week was doubly good: one member debuting on the albums chart, another back in the Hot 100 top five, at the same time.
