BLACKPINK's Jisoo Soars to Top 40 on UK Official Charts with 'FLOWER' On April 7, Jisoo's debut solo single "FLOWER" entered the UK Official Singles Chart at No. 38 for the week of April 7-13. The announcement came from the United Kingdom's Official Charts, which, like Billboard's U.S. charts, ranks the most popular songs in the UK.
With this achievement, Jisoo now holds the record for the highest-ranked K-pop female soloist on the UK Official Singles Chart and is the first female soloist to secure a spot within its Top 40.
Jisoo is also the second Korean female solo artist to grace the UK Official Singles Chart, following her BLACKPINK bandmate Rosé, whose song "On The Ground" debuted at No. 43 in March 2021.
In terms of overall K-pop soloists, the "FLOWER" singer ranks third, after BTS members Jimin and J-Hope, to enter the Top 40 with a debut song.
BLACKPINK, Jisoo's own group, first entered the UK Official Singles Chart with "DDU-DU-DDU-DU" in 2018, making history as the first K-pop girl group to do so. Since then, they have achieved eight UK Top 40 singles, including "Kiss and Make Up," "Kill This Love," "How You Like That," "Ice Cream," "Lovesick Girls," "Sour Candy," "Pink Venom," and "Shut Down."
Jisoo's Enchanting 'FLOWER' Music Video Captivates Fans Jisoo released her highly anticipated solo debut track, "FLOWER," on March 31. The stunning music video, shot in glamorous locations, showcases Jisoo's breathtaking visuals.
