Blackpink Star Lisa Pushes Past BTS

In just a few months, Lisa has become one of the most successful K-pop musicians in the history of one of Billboard's radio charts. The singer and rapper, who originally hails from Thailand, but who rose to superstardom through her work in the South Korean music industry as one-fourth of Blackpink, began promoting her debut solo album Alter Ego in mid-2024, and is ongoing with at least one single still living on.
As she rides the airwaves alongside Maroon 5 on the band's latest single 'Priceless,' one of her own tunes is climbing again. It's comeback helps her break out of a tie with the biggest name in K-pop history.
'Moonlit Floor' is back on the Adult Contemporary chart this week. Lisa's solo track reenters one of Billboard's three pop radio lists at No. 28.
As it returns, 'Moonlit Floor' earns an eleventh stay on this tally, allowing Lisa to break out of a match with BTS's 'Butter.' The two tracks had previously been tied as the fifth-longest-running K-pop hits on the ranking, but now, as Lisa moves forward, 'Butter' — which held on for 10 frames — is pushed out of that top five.
While BTS's 'Butter' may have been nudged down slightly, the South Korean boy band still lays claim to the two longest-running successes on the Adult Contemporary chart. Both 'Dynamite' and 'My Universe,' a collaboration with Coldplay, spent 20 frames on the airplay list.
That achievement is nearly matched by a fellow Blackpink star, Rosé, alongside her collaborator Bruno Mars. They are just one frame away from equaling that showing with 'Apt.,' and will likely do so when Billboard refreshes its rankings shortly.
'Cupid' by Fifty Fifty remains two weeks ahead of 'Moonlit Floor,' with 13 weeks on the Adult Contemporary chart. Since Lisa's track has already fallen off the roster once, it's difficult to predict whether it will manage to match Fifty Fifty's performance and become one of the fourth longest-running wins by a K-pop star on this tally, or if it will settle for the history it's already made.
This week, Lisa claims a pair of spaces on the Adult Contemporary chart, which is a major accomplishment for any K-pop musician. As 'Moonlit Floor' returns, 'Priceless' dips ever so slightly. In fact, it lands one spot below Lisa's other track, even though it has only spent three weeks on the roster.

An Embattled Snoop Dogg Bites Back a Little But Mostly Keeps It Cool
For 30 years, it seems that there has never been a pitch too wild for Snoop Dogg. He's done a reggae album, a funk album, two gospel albums, and even released an album on the blockchain. The Zelig of popular music, no collaborator is off limits: Willie Nelson, Stevie Wonder, Katy Perry, Quincy Jones, Daddy Yankee, the Bee Gees, Limp Bizkit, BTS, Patti LaBelle, Prince Royce, Banda MS, Tiësto, Popcaan, Jelly Roll, Charlie Sheen. He's sold his own app, his own breakfast cereal, and recently opened a weed store in L.A., the city where he will likely serve as NBC's ambassador to the 2028 Summer Olympic Games. If any of this ever seemed incongruous with being gangsta rap royalty, it has never once affected the Teflon Dogg, America's lovable uncle. He gives a truckloads of money to charity, is generally regarded as one of the nicest people in the business, and has been consistently releasing solid if underheralded solo albums since the Clinton administration. Who's going to care if the guy sells an NFT or two? More from Rolling Stone Snoop Dogg's New Album 'Iz It A Crime?' Is Here Suge Knight Strikes $1.5 Million Settlement to Avert Retrial in Wrongful Death Case Suge Knight's Retrial Roller Coaster: How Did We Get Here? That all changed in January when Snoop did a short DJ set at David Sacks' Crypto Ball, a Washington, D.C., schmoozefest held to celebrate Donald Trump's re-inauguration. Fans on social media rebelled, calling him a sellout, but Snoop stood his ground, telling The Breakfast Club, 'I'm not a politician. I don't represent the Republican Party. I don't represent the Democratic Party. I represent the motherfucking Gangsta Party, period point blank.' Snoop promised that his 21st solo album, Iz It a Crime?, would break his radio silence, fighting back against haters and doubters and reaffirming his legacy. Luckily, a defensive Snoop is still classically and effortlessly cool: 'Me and Dre at the So-Fi the only way I sell out,' he raps on 'Unsung Heroes' 'Unsung Heroes' is also the album highlight with its droning organ that sounds like it's stripped from an Ethiopian jazz record providing a hot slab of asphalt for Snoop to spit venomous invective. Tracks like 'Iz It a Crime?' with its breathy Sade sample and the breezy 'Sophisticated Crippin'' are less antagonistic as middle fingers go, listing his achievements and brushing off crumbs. The only other song that really seems to be the State of the Snoop address is 'ShutYoBitchAssUp,' which most assume is aimed at former Death Row Records CEO Suge Knight, who has been disputing Snoop's ownership of the label: 'I can see why you mad/I bought everything you own/Now you in PC snitching on the phone.' However, beyond those tracks, Iz It a Crime? isn't really the pugilistic battle record it's being made out to be. Instead it's another dependable Rhythm & Gangsta offering in a career full of them. There's his cadre of producers he's been using for the last 20-30 years (Battlecat, Soopafly, Denaun, Nottz, Rick Rock); there's the always liquid flow ('I'm talking lolos, a couple of cholos, la vida loco/Facts in a chokehold/Hey Siri, we need some more hoes'); and there's the occasional misstep (in this case, the narcotic would-be-club-banger 'Spot'). The duet with still-rising raunch-rapper Sexxy Redd ('Me and OG Snoop') is naturally electric, and Wiz Khalifa shows up like an old friend to get a little wistful ('Just the Way It Iz'). It really is just Snoop being the ever-reliable Snoop — and only a true keyboard warrior could be mad at that.

K-pop stars RM and V of BTS complete their mandatory service in South Korean military
CHUNCHEON, South Korea (AP) — K-pop superstars RM and V are the latest members of BTS to be discharged from South Korea's military after fulfilling their mandatory service. They each saluted upon their release Tuesday in Chuncheon City as about 200 fans, some of whom traveled from Mexico, Turkey and Brazil, cheered. Reina Lorena Quintero Sevilla spent nearly 18 hours on a plane from Mexico City. "I swear, it didn't feel that long because we're so excited to be here, to watch the boys get released, excited to be in South Korea, in the hometowns of our boys, who we love, who we adore,' she said. RM and V began their service in December 2023, while three other BTS members — Jin, J-Hope and Suga — were already months into their conscription. Jin, the oldest member of the K-pop supergroup, was discharged from the army in June 2024. J-Hope was discharged in October. Jimin and JungKook are scheduled to be discharged Wednesday. The seventh member, Suga, is fulfilling his duty as a social service agent, an alternative to military service. He is to be released later this month. The seven BTS members plan to reunite as a group sometime in 2025. In South Korea, all able-bodied men aged 18 to 28 are required by law to perform 18-21 months of military service under a conscription system meant to deter aggression from rival North Korea. The law gives special exemptions to athletes, classical and traditional musicians, and ballet and other dancers if they have obtained top prizes in certain competitions and are assessed to have enhanced national prestige. K-pop stars and other entertainers aren't subject to such privileges. The BTS members were able to postpone their service, however, after the National Assembly revised the Military Service Act, allowing K-pop stars to delay their enlistment until age 30. There was heated public debate over whether to offer special exemptions for BTS members, until the group's management agency announced in 2022 that all seven members would fulfill their duties.
