LISA's new EP "Press Play" has debuted at No. 35 on the Billboard 200, giving the BLACKPINK star her second solo entry on the chart. The six-track set was released on October 23, 2026, through Lloud and RCA, and it earned about 18,000 equivalent album units in its first week, on the chart dated November 7, 2026.
The Billboard 200 Debut
Press Play enters the Billboard 200 at No. 35 with about 18,000 equivalent album units. The chart is dated November 7, 2026, and was released on November 3, 2026. The debut puts LISA back on the albums chart as a solo artist, a year after her first solo album made a much higher bow.
The result is a solid opening for a six-track EP, a shorter format that usually faces a harder climb on the albums chart than a full-length album. It also keeps LISA's solo run moving in the same year that she has stayed busy with new music and live shows.
Press Play: The EP
Press Play has six tracks: Tarantino, SaWaDiKa, V12, Cobra, Cut U Off and Sweat. Tarantino is the title track, and its official music video leads the release. For the full track list and release details, see our Press Play album LISA guide, and read the words to the title track in our Tarantino lyrics LISA post.
SaWaDiKa is the EP's other big talking point. The song entered the Hot 100 at No. 69, her highest debut on that chart, and its video drew 70.8 million YouTube views in its first 24 hours, according to the label, the biggest music-video debut of 2026. The track has kept growing since then, as covered in our report on how LISA's Sawadika crosses 200 million.
What It Means
This is LISA's second solo entry on the Billboard 200. Her debut album, Alter Ego, opened at No. 7 in 2025 with about 45,500 equivalent album units, so Press Play starts lower but still extends a solo chart run that began with a top 10 debut.
The chart news comes as LISA prepares for her VIVA LA LISA Las Vegas residency in November 2026 at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, the first Las Vegas residency by a K-pop artist. She also won Best Pop for "Dream" at the 2026 MTV VMAs, becoming the first Asian solo artist to win in that category. You can read more about her career in our LISA biography.
The same chart week brought more BLACKPINK solo success, as JENNIE and Tame Impala's "Dracula" rebounded to No. 5 on the Hot 100.
