JISOO’s AMORTAGE has topped this week’s new music poll, which highlights artists across various genres.
Published on Friday (Feb. 14) by Billboard, the poll saw music fans vote for the BLACKPINK member’s debut solo mini-album as their favorite new music release of the past week.
AMORTAGE received 88% of the vote, securing a strong lead over other major new releases, including Sabrina Carpenter‘s Short n’ Sweet (Deluxe), Drake and PartyNextDoor‘s $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s “Scared of Loving You,” Bon Iver’s “Everything is Peaceful Love,” and others.
The four-song mini-album arrived on Valentine’s Day (Feb. 14) and includes the tracks “Earthquake,” “Your Love,” “Tears” and “Hugs & Kisses.” Blissoo and The Wavys produced all of the songs, while JISOO co-wrote each track with Jordan Roman and a team of collaborators. The K-pop superstar previously shared that the album’s unique title represents “a montage of love.”
JISOO made her solo debut in 2023 with the singles “FLOWER” and “All Eyes on Me,” but AMORTAGE marks her first full project outside of BLACKPINK, following solo efforts from members LISA, JENNIE and ROSÉ. As part of BLACKPINK, JISOO has charted nine songs on the Billboard Hot 100 and became the third South Korean act ever to top the Billboard 200 with Born Pink.
AMORTAGE is also JISOO’s first project since signing a global label deal with Warner Records for her solo music in January.
“I’m excited about this new era and the continuation of my musical journey,” she said when the deal was announced. “I feel like I’m just getting started and I’d like to thank the BLINKs for all of their love and support. This is just the beginning and I’m thrilled to kick off this seismic moment with Warner Records.”
Trailing behind AMORTAGE on this week’s poll is the deluxe edition of Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet, which earned nearly 6% of the vote. The expanded version features a new rendition of “Please Please Please” with Dolly Parton, along with bonus tracks like “15 Minutes,” “Couldn’t Make It Any Harder,” “Busy Woman” and “Bad Reviews.”
