Jisoo of the group BLACKPINK has proven her power by sweeping global music charts.
The title track "Earthquake" from her new mini-album "Amortage," released on the 14th, along with "Your Love," "TEARS," and "Hugs & Kisses," has been achieving great success on music platforms both domestically and internationally throughout the weekend.
First, "Amortage" has maintained the top spot on the worldwide album chart, including over 39 countries on iTunes, right after its release, and recorded over 5 million streams on Spotify on its first day alone. It also quickly rose to the top of the Hanteo Chart sales rankings and set a new record for the highest sales by a domestic solo artist on the first day of release this year.
The music video for "Amortage," released alongside the audio, has shown a vertical rise in views, ranking first in YouTube's trending music category, and short-form videos released on platforms like TikTok are also gaining attention. Thanks to this, Jisoo's TikTok account has surpassed 7 million followers, making her the fastest female artist in Korea to achieve this milestone.
In the Chinese market, she has also added various records, including first place on the annual digital music album chart, first place for music videos, first place on Tencent Music's integrated K-POP chart, and first place on QQ Music's best-selling digital album weekly chart.
Above all, Jisoo's unique music style has received positive reviews. "Amortage," a combination of "AMOR" (love) and "MONTAGE," conveys the meaning that pieces of love come together to complete a single story. Jisoo participated in the lyrics for all tracks, expressing the emotions felt during the process of love like a romance film. Through a well-crafted narrative, Jisoo's deep identity delivers a new experience to her global fans.
On the day of the album release, she successfully held a special event fan meet-up titled "SOO IN LOVE" and first unveiled the stage for "Earthquake" on SBS's "Inkigayo" broadcast on the 16th. Jisoo plans to continue her activities for "Amortage" in various ways.
