Lisa’s “Money” has now lived on the U.K. singles chart for a month.
... [+]After several weeks in a row of climbing up the U.K. singles chart, “Money” by Lisa backtracks, perhaps beginning what could be a slow decline down the ranking of the most-consumed songs in the nation. This frame, the cut steps down from No. 46 to No. 54, but by finding space on the tally once again, the cut becomes one of the longest-charting tracks in U.K. history by a woman in the K-pop space.
“Money” has now been present on the U.K. singles chart for five weeks, an impressive run for any tune by a K-pop musician . In fact, when looking solely at music created by women in that field, “Money” now stands out as one of the most successful tunes yet. With a fifth week spent on the U.K. singles chart, “Money” instantly ties with two other tracks as the fourth-longest-charting song by a female K-pop act. Amazingly, all other releases that fit into this bit of history are by the South Korean girl group Blackpink, which counts Lisa as one of the four members. Thus far, the band is the only K-pop musical act featuring women to land long-lasting hits in the nation.
At the moment, “Money” is on the same level as Blackpink’s singles “How You Like That” and “Sour Candy,” a collaboration with Lady Gaga that was featured on her latest album. All three songs have thus far earned five stays on the tally, but Lisa’s solo smash could easily up that count in a few days.
