Fans Choose LISA’s ‘Alter Ego’ as This Week’s Favorite New Music

LISA‘s Alter Ego topped this week’s new music poll, which highlights artists from a variety of genres.

Music fans cast their votes in a poll published Friday (Feb. 28) on Billboard, selecting the BLACKPINK star’s debut solo album as their favorite new release of the past week.

Alter Ego received 49% of the vote, leading other notable new music releases such as Feid’s “Nos Desconoximos,” Benson Boone’s “Sorry I’m Here for Someone Else,” Lizzo’s “Love in Real Life,” D4vd and Kali Uchis’ “Crashing,” and more.

After months of anticipation, LISA dropped her first album on Feb. 28, featuring 15 new tracks and collaborations with Megan Thee Stallion, Future, Tyla, and others. The highly anticipated project includes previously released singles like “Rockstar,” “New Woman” featuring Rosalía, “Moonlit Floor (Kiss Me),” and “Born Again” with Doja Cat and RAYE.

Alter Ego showcases the Thai rapper embodying five distinct personas: Roxi, Kiki, Vixi, Sunni and Speedi. “It represents five characters of me as well, like I feel related with them,” she told Sean Evans on Hot Ones ahead of the album’s release.

Before Alter Ego, LISA had released only two solo singles: 2021’s “LALISA” and “MONEY,” both of which charted on the Billboard Hot 100. That same year, she also appeared without her bandmates on DJ Snake’s “SG” with Ozuna, and on “HISS” with the rapper, who features on Alter Ego track “Rapunzel.”

LISA is the latest BLACKPINK member to release solo music in recent months. ROSÉ released her debut solo album, rosie, in December, and two months later, JISOO dropped her EP, AMORTAGE. JENNIE is set to follow with her debut LP, Ruby, scheduled for release on March 7. The foursome announced a summer 2025 world tour in February.

Trailing behind Alter Ego in this week’s poll is Feid’s “Nos Desconocimos,” which earned nearly 38% of the vote. The Colombian star’s new single arrives ahead of his European tour.
