BLACKPINK Lisa Extends Record on UK's Official Singles Chart with 'MONEY'
According to the Official Charts - the UK-equivalent to Billboard's US charts - BLACKPINK's Thai member, Lisa and her B-side track "MONEY" from her solo debut album "LALISA," are maintaining their spot in the Official Singles Chart, a ranking of the most popular songs in the United Kingdom.
As of October 22 local time, Lisa's "MONEY" took the No. 54 spot on the Official Singles Chart for the week dated October 28, making it the BLACKPINK member's third week in a row on the major music chart.
In addition, this also makes Lisa the longest-charting female K-Pop solo artist to be listed on the Official Singles Charts, following fellow BLACKPINK member Rosé, who became the first female K-Pop solo artist to debut on the same chart with her solo song "On the Ground."
"MONEY" first made its debut on the Official Singles Chart a month after its release, ranking at No. 81 on the week of October 14. A week later, "MONEY" jumped 22 places to take No. 59, surpassing Rosé's record. This time, "MONEY" jumped once again by five places to settle at No. 54.
