INCHEON, SOUTH KOREA – SEPTEMBER 26: Lisa aka Lalisa Manoban of South Korean girl group BLACKPINK is … [+]
As her solo singles “Money” and “Lalisa” continue to perform well on the Billboard Global 200, Lisa debuts her even-never smash “SG” on Billboard’s weekly tally of the most-consumed songs in the world. With another hit now included in her discography, the singer and rapper advances on an all-time ranking, tying with some of the biggest girl groups in recent memory.
“SG” debuts on this week’s Billboard Global 200 chart at No. 19, earning the second-loftiest start of the frame. The tune is a quick smash for not just Lisa, but the three other artists credited on the cut—DJ Snake, Ozuna and Megan Thee Stallion. It’s the third placement on the tally for the Blackpink musician, and that’s an important number.
With a third hit on the Billboard Global 200, Lisa is now tied with a trio of acts for the third-most hits of all time on the chart among South Korean musical figures. Her latest win helps her match the showings of Aespa, Itzy and Twice.
Lisa first reached the Billboard Global 200 on her own about two months ago, when she dropped her first two tunes without her Blackpink bandmates. Both “Lalisa” and “Money” reached the list with ease, with the former nearly conquering the tally, as it opened at No. 2. Eventually, “Money” climbed into the top 10 as well.

Among all K-pop acts, BTS leads the charge, as the septet has now appeared on the Billboard Global 200 with a lucky 13 different tunes. That sum includes eight top 10 hits, one of the largest accumulations among all acts, and half a dozen No. 1s, the most among all artists.
Not far behind BTS comes Blackpink, the most successful girl group to emerge from South Korea and make a commercial impact in the rest of the world. The quartet has now pushed 10 tunes to the Billboard Global 200, making them only the second act from that part of the planet to earn double-digit placements on the ranking.
