In a stunning display of K-pop’s unpredictability, the music scene is abuzz with the simultaneous releases of two high-profile albums – one from a solo artist who’s been making waves, and another from a rookie sensation who’s turning heads in the industry. Rosé, the talented vocalist of BLACKPINK, has released her highly anticipated debut solo album, while her bandmate Lisa has made a dazzling entrance with her very first solo album, sending shockwaves through the K-pop community. As fans eagerly devour every bite of the latest offerings from these two pop powerhouses, one thing is clear: the K-pop landscape has just gotten a whole lot more exciting.
Rosé’s Solo Success
Rosé’s debut album Rosie Soars on Multiple Charts
Rosie opens inside the top 10 on multiple charts, making Rosé one of a very small number of K-pop soloists to do so. Powered largely by lead single “Apt.,” a collaboration with Bruno Mars.
“Toxic Till The End” Debuts on Hot 100
“Toxic Till The End” debuts on the Hot 100, adding to Rosé’s growing list of wins on the most competitive songs ranking in the U.S. Opens at No. 90 on the 100-space tally, which tracks the most-consumed cuts throughout the nation.
Rosé’s Rise to Solo Stardom
Apt. Brings Success on Adult Pop Airplay Chart
“Apt.” jumps to No. 5 on the Adult Pop Airplay tally, becoming the first top five win for any K-pop star.
Rosé Doubles Her Career Hits
“Toxic Till The End” doesn’t just double Rosé’s total number of placements on the current chart — it doubles her career wins. She has now accrued two smashes on Billboard’s list of the most successful tracks across adult pop radio stations in the U.S.
In doing so, she joins a very select group of K-pop artists.
Rosé Breaks Her Tie With Her Bandmate
Rosé is just the third musical act known primarily for creating K-pop to rack up more than one win on the Adult Pop Airplay chart. As “Toxic Till The End” debuts, she breaks out of a tie with her Blackpink bandmate Lisa for the most wins among female K-pop solo stars.
So far, Lisa has only sent one tune to the tally.
Rosé Makes Radio History
As “Toxic Till The End” launches, Rosé also makes history in another fashion on the same list. “Apt.” jumps to No. 5 on the Adult Pop Airplay tally, becoming the first top five win for any K-pop star.
It also earns its eighteenth stay on the radio roster, matching Jung Kook’s “Too Much” as the longest-running hit by any soloist in the K-pop space.
Rosé Collects Her Third Hot 100 Hit
Rosé collects her third Hot 100 hit as a soloist, and as she does, she passes her bandmate Jennie and CL in her historic win.
Rosé’s Success on the Hot 100
Rosé’s single opens at No. 90 on the 100-space tally, which tracks the most-consumed cuts throughout the nation. With a third Hot 100 appearance to her credit, Rosé now stands alone in second place on the list of the solo female K-pop musicians who have accrued the most smashes on the roster.
Rosé is originally from New Zealand, but her entire music career has been based in South Korea, and she’s primarily known for her work in the K-pop space, even though her latest collection is really more “pop” instead of Korean pop.
Rosé’s Comparison to Other Solo Female K-Pop Artists
Rosé is one of a very small number of K-pop soloists to score a top 10 album on multiple charts. She is now one of the top solo female K-pop artists on the list of the most successful tracks across adult pop radio stations in the U.S.
Rosé is also one of the few solo female K-pop artists to have scored a top 10 single on the Hot 100 chart. She is now one of the top solo female K-pop artists on the list of the most successful tracks across adult pop radio stations in the U.S.
Rosé’s Debut Album Returns As Her Blackpink Bandmate Debuts
Rosé’s “Toxic Till the End” debuts at No. 40 on the Adult Pop Airplay chart, doubling her Billboard wins. She now ties Jung Kook as the top solo K-pop act on the chart. This milestone marks a significant achievement for the K-pop soloist, who has been making waves in the music industry with her solo career.
Rosé quickly established herself as perhaps the most successful solo female K-pop artist of all time in America when she dropped her single “Apt.” with Bruno Mars. That tune quickly took over the Billboard charts last year and is still riding high, months after its release. This success brings the Blackpink singer to a new peak on one of the company’s tallies this time around, but it’s not that track that helps her make history in one specific fashion.
Rosé Doubles Her Career Hits
“Toxic Till the End” doesn’t just double Rosé’s total number of placements on the current chart — it doubles her career wins. She has now accrued two smashes on Billboard’s list of the most successful tracks across adult pop radio stations in the U.S. In doing so, she joins a very select group of K-pop artists.
Rosé breaks out of a tie with her Blackpink bandmate Lisa for the most wins among female K-pop solo stars. So far, Lisa has only sent one tune to the tally. “Moonlit Floor (Kiss Me),” one of the singles from her debut full-length Alter Ego, only climbed as high as No. 38, though it still helped her make history as well.
Rosé now stands alone in second place on the list of the solo female K-pop musicians who have accrued the most smashes on the roster. Rosé is originally from New Zealand, but her entire music career has been based in South Korea, and she’s primarily known for her work in the K-pop space, even though her latest collection is really more “pop” instead of Korean pop. Rosé debuted on the Hot 100 in 2021, when her solo single “On the Ground” reached No. 70. Just months ago, she and Mars pushed “Apt.” to No. 8. As it hit that special position, Rosé became the first K-pop female solo star to hit the top 10 on the tally.
Rosé’s Solo Career Milestones
Rosé’s debut on the Hot 100 in 2021 with “On the Ground” marked a significant milestone in her career. The single reached No. 70, showcasing her growing influence in the global music scene. However, it was her collaboration with Bruno Mars on “Apt.” that truly catapulted her to stardom. The song reached No. 8 on the Hot 100, making Rosé the first K-pop female solo star to achieve a top 10 placement. This achievement solidified her status as a leading figure in the K-pop industry and set the stage for her future successes.
Rosé’s solo career milestones continue to unfold with the release of her debut album Rosie. The album debuted inside the top 10 on multiple charts, making her one of a very small number of K-pop soloists to achieve this feat. The lead single, “Apt.,” was a global hit, and the album’s subsequent singles have also made significant impacts on the charts. The latest single, “Toxic Till the End,” debuts on the Hot 100 this week, adding to Rosé’s growing list of wins on the most competitive songs ranking in the U.S. The single opens at No. 90 on the 100-space tally, which tracks the most-consumed cuts throughout the nation.
K-Pop Soloists on the Rise
Rosé’s success is part of a broader trend of K-pop soloists making significant strides in the music industry. While Rosé has made history with her achievements, other K-pop soloists are also making their mark on the charts.
Jung Kook Leads the Charge
Jung Kook, a member of the global phenomenon BTS, has accrued a trio of placements on his own on the Adult Pop Airplay chart. He collected the first of his three solo appearances on the chart in 2022 with “Left and Right,” which featured Charlie Puth. This collaboration broke into the top 10 and still stands as one of the most successful cuts by any K-pop act on this tally. Jung Kook increased his career sum considerably in 2023. First, his tune “Seven,” a collaboration with rapper Latto, rose to No. 19. Before the year was up, he doubled his total accumulation as a featured artist on The Kid Laroi’s “Too Much,” which also credited rapper Central Cee.
BTS, as a group, also counts three Adult Pop Airplay hits in its discography. Two of them have cracked the top 10, as “My Universe” with Coldplay rose to No. 8, while “Dynamite” peaked at No. 10. This dominance by BTS and Jung Kook is often the case, highlighting the group’s and the individual member’s significant influence on the music scene.
Lisa and Other Blackpink Members
Lisa, Rosé’s bandmate in Blackpink, has accrued four wins on her own, including several this year. Her debut full-length, Alter Ego, includes the single “Moonlit Floor (Kiss Me),” which climbed as high as No. 38 on the Adult Pop Airplay chart. This achievement helped Lisa make history as one of the most successful female K-pop solo stars.
Jennie, another member of Blackpink, has collected a pair of smashes on the tally. Her singles have shown strong performance, further solidifying Blackpink’s status as a leading force in the K-pop industry. CL, a former member of 2NE1, also has two successful tunes on the tally, showcasing the enduring influence of YG Entertainment’s artists.
Youjeen, another solo artist from South Korea, has thus far earned one successful tune in the U.S. Her contribution to the K-pop solo scene highlights the growing diversity and talent within the industry.
