Blackpink's Rose adds another Billboard record to her solo achievements
Rose of Blackpink set another record as a solo artist. Her first solo full album, 'Rosie,' reentered the chart at No. 168, becoming the longest-charting album on Billboard 200 for a K-pop female singer at 27 weeks. The 12-track album was released in December last year and debuted on the main albums chart at No. 3, the highest ranking for a K-pop female artist. The album's prerelease, 'APT. (feat. Bruno Mars),' continues to extend its record as the longest-charting track on Billboard's Hot 100 for a K-pop act. The smash hit currently sits at No. 45, and has been on the chart for 41 straight weeks, peaking at No. 3 — yet another record set by the idol. Meanwhile, Blackpink kicked off the European leg of its tour 'Deadline' in Paris last week and will perform at Wembley Stadium in London next week, a first for a K-pop girl group.

Rush of K-pop comebacks fill August music charts
SHINee's Key, Red Velvet's Joy, Stray Kids and Ive line up returns A number of K-pop idols are making their way back to the music scene this month, vying for spots on domestic and international music charts with new releases. Key of SHINee is set to release his 3rd LP, "Stranger," at 6 p.m., Aug. 11, making his grand return nearly a year after he dropped his mini album "Pleasure Shop" in September. The 10-track album brims with the namesake title track, an English-language single, a synth-based track, as well as a song feature Seulgi of Red Velvet, according to SM Entertainment. The singer will also perform three concerts titled "2025 Keyland: Uncanny Valley" from Sept. 26-28 at the Olympic Park Olympic Handall Stadium in Songpa-gu, southern Seoul. For the first time in nearly four years, Joy of Red Velvet will bring a set of new melodies. Her last solo release was "Hello," a remake of Park Hye-kyoung's song, in May 2021. Dubbed "From Joy, with Love," the singer's first mini album since her debut in 2014 comprises six songs, including the title track "Love Splash!" as well as other songs that talk about love. The album will be released Aug. 18. Stray Kids are releasing their fourth full album, "Karma," on Aug. 22, just eight months after their special album "Hop" last December. Comprising 11 tracks, the eight-member group's album is fully written and composed by the team's producer trio, 3Racha -- Bang Chan, Han and Changbin. Including the lead song "Ceremony," the album tracks include "Creed," "Mess," and "In My Head." Ive is also gearing up for a comeback later this month with their 4th LP, "Ive Secret," on Aug. 25. The new release follows the group's third EP, 'Ive Empathy,' released in February. While not much has been revealed about the album, the group teased a snippet of their music through a series of teaser images, featuring images of each member holding an object behind her back, including a dangling handgun, a bottle of perfume and a pig with wings. The phrase, "'XOXZ,' Coming soon," was written on the image, hinting at the title of the album's lead song.

Twice tracks soar on Billboard's Hot 100
Twice's 'Strategy (feat. Megan Thee Stallion)' jumped 18 spots on Billboard's Hot 100 to No. 74, a career-high for the group, label JYP Entertainment said on Wednesday. The title track from the group's 14th EP rode features on Netflix's 'KPop Demon Hunters.' Riding on the movie's success, it has narrowed the gap with 'Takedown' off the same EP, which rose to No. 67 from last week's No. 76. The latter is also featured on the soundtrack; sung by Jeongyeon, Jihyo and Chaeyoung, it is enjoying its fourth week on the main singles chart. The trio sang "Takedown" live for the first time Saturday at the Lollapalooza Chicago festival, which the group headlined. On Aug. 23, Twice resumes its international tour in Nagoya, Japan. The tour is named after its fourth album, 'This Is For,' which debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard 200 after its release last month.
