BLACKPINK’s LISA Expands Her Global Reach with Alter Ego
LISA’s debut album Alter Ego has made an impressive entrance at No. 7 on the Billboard 200, marking a significant achievement for her solo career. While Rosé’s rosie peaked at No. 3, LISA’s album proves that BLACKPINK’s members can hold their own as solo artists. This milestone comes just ahead of Jennie’s album release, making BLACKPINK’s solo dominance undeniable.
Although her album’s streaming numbers have yet to match its sales performance, LISA’s crossover appeal is undeniable. Collaborations with Doja Cat and RAYE on Born Again and her expanding Hollywood presence are strengthening her reach. Her ventures in both music and television make her one of the most versatile K-pop idols today.
Her performance at the Academy Awards introduced her to a wider Western audience, showing her potential beyond K-pop’s core fanbase. BLACKPINK’s strategy of allowing members to explore individual careers is paying off, as each member is carving their own space while keeping the group’s brand strong.
With BLACKPINK set to return for a world tour and their solo projects gaining traction, K-pop remains a dominant force in global music. LISA’s success with Alter Ego is proof that the BLACKPINK diaspora is thriving, ensuring their impact continues to grow.
As LISA continues to break barriers, her solo achievements highlight BLACKPINK’s ability to influence global music trends. With each member making their mark, the group’s legacy only strengthens.
“BLACKPINK’s many solo offshoots and the inevitable return of BTS, to say nothing of surefire future chart-toppers from other acts, K-pop promises to be one of the biggest stories in music this year.”
