Rosé became the only female Kpop idol to achieve this, Lisa had to carry sandals?

Two weeks ago, Rosé became the first female K-pop solo artist in history to reach the top 3 of the Billboard 200 when her solo album "rosie" debuted at No. 3.

In the week ending on January 4, "rosie" remained in 32nd place for the third consecutive week on the rankings.

With this achievement, "rosie" became the first album by a K-pop solo female artist to have spent three weeks in the top 50 of the Billboard 200. Rosé is also the second female K-pop solo artist to have an album reach the Billboard 200 chart in three weeks, after TWICE's Nayeon.

Meanwhile, Rosé and Bruno Mars' hit single "APT." continued its impressive streak on the Billboard Hot 100, where the song won its 10th consecutive week on the chart at number 34.

"APT." has also reached new heights on Billboard's Pop Airplay chart (which measures plays on mainstream top 40 radio stations across the United States) and the Radio Songs chart (which measures American radio plays across all genres of music).

The song climbed to No. 7 in its 10th week on the Pop Airplay chart and No. 10 in its 6th week on the Radio Songs chart.

As a result, Rosé is currently the first female K-pop artist (including a group) to reach the top 10 of the Radio Songs chart.

In addition, "APT." remained at No. 4 on Billboard's Digital Song Sales chart and peaked at No. 47 on the Streaming Songs chart for its 10th week on both charts.

On Billboard's Global Excl. U.S. chart, "APT." held steady at No. 3 (for week 10), followed by "Toxic Till the End" at No. 33 (for Week 3) and "Number One Girl" at No. 108 (for Week 5). On the Global 200, "APT." ranks at No. 4, "toxic till the end" at No. 66, and "number one girl" at No. 161.

"rosie" also held steady at No. 14 on Billboard's Top Current Album Sales chart and No. 20 on the Top Album Sales chart for the third week on both charts.

In the end, Rosé won her 11th week overall on the Billboard Artist 100 at number 47.

In contrast to Rosé, another member of Blackpink , Lisa , continuously received unhappy news. Recently, she also caused controversy about her ability to sing live.

Accordingly, on the night of December 31, Lisa performed for the first time at the countdown festival to welcome the new year in her hometown of Thailand. As an open event and not selling tickets, Bangkok's largest shopping mall ICON SIAM attracted tens of thousands of spectators to enjoy the special performances of the "national treasure of Thailand".

During the countdown event, Lisa brought a set including 5 hits LALISA, Money, Moonlit Floor, New Woman and ROCKSTAR. Notably, in the performance of the song New Woman, Lisa clearly showed many shortness of breath, the high notes were completely blurred. Even though it is considered to play smaller backtrack music than the controversial stages before, the youngest BLACKPINK still has to rely on the backtrack to cover up the drowning minutes when singing live in their hometown.

This is not the first time Lisa has been involved in controversy about her solo performance on stage. Previously at the MTV Video Music Awards 2024 and the Global CItizen Festival, BLACKPINK's youngest brother was also accused of lip-syncing when abusing the backtrack. To avoid unnecessary controversies, the countdown night performed in her hometown was performed by Lisa with a completely live voice, the backtrack was also considered to turn on quite a little, but because of that, all of her weak and exhausted voice was clearly exposed.

However, besides the criticisms, there are also some opinions that New Woman is the 4th song to perform after 2 songs combining choreography, LALISA, Money or the ballad Moonlit Floor. This makes her somewhat tired and exhausted when continuing a song that has to show off many vocals. The proof is that in previous performances, Lisa still sang live well even though she had to show a lot of choreography. This is also the point why she is highly appreciated when performing on the stage of her hometown.

However, it is undeniable that Lisa needs to improve her physical fitness as well as her voice. Especially when in April 2025, BLACKPINK's youngest brother will have a solo stage at the largest music festival on the planet Coachella. If she doesn't want to turn her performance into a live singing "disaster" like LE SSERAFIM once caused at Coachella, Lisa will definitely need to make a lot of effort to avoid controversy.
