LISA has tied JENNIE for a rare Billboard Hot 100 record among female K-pop soloists. With “SaWaDiKa” debuting at No. 69 on the chart dated September 19, LISA now has seven Hot 100 entries, matching her BLACKPINK bandmate’s total.
The new achievement comes as “SaWaDiKa” opens the campaign for LISA’s upcoming six-track EP PRESS PLAY. The song becomes her seventh appearance on the Hot 100 following “Lalisa,” “Money,” “Rockstar,” “New Woman” with Rosalía, “Born Again” with Doja Cat and RAYE, and “Priceless” with Maroon 5.

LISA’s Hot 100 history began with “Lalisa,” which reached No. 84 in 2021, followed by “Money” at No. 90. “Rockstar” later climbed to No. 70, while “New Woman” reached No. 97. Her collaboration with Doja Cat and RAYE, “Born Again,” remains her highest-charting song on the list at No. 68. “Priceless,” her collaboration with Maroon 5, reached No. 76 before “SaWaDiKa” arrived at No. 69.
The latest debut is particularly notable because “SaWaDiKa” is a solo lead single without a major Western featured artist. Its No. 69 opening places it ahead of “Rockstar” and makes it LISA’s second-highest Hot 100 peak as a lead solo artist, behind “Born Again.”
JENNIE had previously moved into the record on her own earlier in 2026 after the Tame Impala collaboration “Dracula” added another Hot 100 entry to her résumé. Her seven appearances include “One of the Girls” with The Weeknd and Lily-Rose Depp, “Mantra,” “ExtraL” with Doechii, “Handlebars” with Dua Lipa, “Like Jennie,” “Love Hangover” with Dominic Fike and “Dracula” with Tame Impala.
“Dracula” remains JENNIE’s biggest Hot 100 hit by a wide margin. The track peaked at No. 5, giving her a first solo top 10 on the chart and making her the second BLACKPINK member to reach the tier after ROSÉ’s “APT.” with Bruno Mars.
For LISA, the Hot 100 milestone adds another result to an already strong rollout for “SaWaDiKa.” The track opened with 70.8 million YouTube views in its first 24 hours, making it the biggest music-video debut of 2026 and one of the biggest first-day solo launches in the platform’s history. The Bangkok-shot video also reflects the song’s connection to LISA’s Thai identity, with its title drawing from the Thai greeting “sawatdi kha.”
PRESS PLAY, due October 23 through Lloud and RCA, will follow LISA’s 2025 debut solo album Alter Ego, which reached No. 7 on the Billboard 200. The upcoming EP is expected to further explore her Thai roots and personal journey, while “SaWaDiKa” has already given the project a major chart opening.
