Lisa continues to break new ground, easily transitioning between music and acting, all while maintaining a strong presence in the global fashion and social media scenes. Her recent collaboration with Spanish singer Rosalía on the single “New Woman” is making significant waves. The track, which quickly went viral, debuted on several Billboard charts for the week ending August 31, 2024. It entered the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 97, marking Lisa’s fourth solo entry on the chart. The single also secured the No. 6 spot on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart and No. 15 on the Global 200.
This collaboration comes on the heels of Lisa’s previous chart successes. Her singles “Lalisa” and “Money” from her debut album entered the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 84 and No. 90, respectively, while her latest single, “Rockstar,” reached a high of No. 70.
Lisa has recently reached new heights on Spotify too, surpassing fellow K-pop artist IU to become the most followed K-pop female soloist on the platform, with over 8.7 million followers. Also, she joined BTS’s Jungkook and her BLACKPINK bandmate Jennie as one of the K-pop soloists with the highest number of monthly listeners, with over 21 million.
Lisa’s success is not limited to music; she also has a considerable influence on social media. According to Hopper HQ’s 2024 Instagram Rich List, Lisa ranks as the 26th highest earner globally per Instagram post, with an estimated earning of $623,000 per post. This places her well ahead of other prominent Korean stars, including her BLACKPINK bandmates and members of BTS. Her Instagram account, boasting over 100 million followers, serves as a powerful platform for brand endorsements and personal expression.
Adding to her list of accomplishments, Lisa is set to make her acting debut in the upcoming third season of HBO’s critically acclaimed series The White Lotus. She expressed excitement and nervousness about the role, noting the similarities between acting and shooting music videos, which may ease her transition. The series, which is set to film in various luxurious locations across Thailand, offers Lisa an opportunity to showcase her talents while also reconnecting with her home country.
