LISA is extending the momentum of her biggest solo era yet. Her upcoming EP PRESS PLAY has climbed to No. 1 on Spotify’s Top 10 Countdown chart with 371,800 pre-saves, making her the only K-pop female act to reach the top spot on the chart.
The milestone comes as EVAN’s debut mini album Death of Me (500,000 pre-saves) was released this morning. Now, LISA’s upcoming project holds the title of the most pre-saved album on Spotify, adding another major streaming achievement to the PRESS PLAY rollout.

For LISA, the numbers build on an already enormous 2026 campaign. Her new song “SaWaDiKa” delivered one of the strongest music video debuts of the year, opening with 70.8 million YouTube views in its first 24 hours. That was the biggest opening day for any artist in 2026 and made LISA the first soloist in history to have multiple music videos surpass 70 million views in a single day.
“SaWaDiKa” also became the second-biggest 24-hour debut for a soloist on YouTube, trailing only LISA’s own “LALISA,” which launched with 73.6 million views in 2021. The two videos now give LISA the top two soloist spots on the platform’s all-time 24-hour debut ranking.
The song’s performance extended beyond YouTube. “SaWaDiKa” debuted at No. 13 on Spotify’s Daily Global Songs chart with 2.787 million streams, while opening at No. 53 in the United States with 466,000 streams. It became the highest-debuting song by a K-pop soloist on Spotify in 2026.
Within just over 48 hours, “SaWaDiKa” had also crossed 100 million YouTube views, becoming the fastest music video by an act to reach that milestone in 2026 and the second-fastest soloist video ever to do so, again behind “LALISA.”
Those numbers have given PRESS PLAY considerable momentum ahead of its release. The six-track EP is scheduled to arrive October 23 through RCA under an exclusive license from LISA’s Lloud Co., following her 2025 solo album Alter Ego, which debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard 200.
