K-pop acts are known for moving huge numbers of songs – and especially EPs and full-lengths – whenever they are new, and the girl group stood out as among the top-selling in that industry. Now, Lisa is on her own and showing that she can sell an album like few of her contemporaries, especially in America. The superstar’s debut solo full-length Alter Ego becomes a quick bestseller in America, earning Lisa a coveted placement on a number of Billboard tallies. Alter Ego Debuts at No. 1 Alter Ego debuts on four of the company’s albums charts this week, becoming a special – and sometimes, historic – win on many of them. The title launches inside the top 10 on three rosters and even manages to conquer one. Lisa is the queen of the Top Album Sales chart this week. Alter Ego opens as the bestselling release in America this frame. It gives the Korean artist her first No. 1 album in the country. According to Luminate, Alter Ego opens with 27,700 copies purchased. That easily settles it in first place, as it beats GNX by Kendrick Lamar, which keeps at No. 2 with about 16,500 copies sold. Alter Ego Enters the Top 10 on Several Rankings As it owns the Top Album Sales list, Alter Ego also manages to become a top 10 win on both the Billboard 200 and the Vinyl Albums chart. On the former, which takes into account all forms of consumption, Lisa enters at No. 7. Alter Ego opens at No. 8 on the vinyl-only list, as it's one of the top 10 bestselling wax records in the U.S. MORE FOR YOU Google Confirms Play Store App Deletion—What You Do Now New Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail Warning—AI Nightmare Comes True ‘NYT Mini’ Clues And Answers For Saturday, March 15 Lisa’s Debut Solo Album Doesn’t Dominate the Streaming Chart Alter Ego only manages to miss the top 10 on the Top Streaming Albums tally. That list focuses not on purchases, but on the most successful collections on platforms like Apple Music and Spotify. Lisa's appearance is historic and a big win for her, but where it lands shows that her fanbase obviously prefers to purchase her music rather than play it on streaming sites. The Blackpink Star’s First Solo Success Lisa has never before landed on any of the aforementioned Billboard charts on her own. Blackpink has done so in the past, though. The K-pop girl group has thus far accrued a pair of No. 1s on the Top Album Sales list, as well as an additional top 10. Both The Album and Born Pink led the charge, while Kill This Love peaked at No. 10 and the Square Up EP rose as high as No. 14 well over half a decade ago. Follow me on Twitter.
