Fans Pick LISA’s ‘Rockstar’ as Favorite New Music in All-Genre Poll

LISA’s new single “Rockstar” has taken the top spot in this week’s new music poll, which features artists from various music genres.

Music fans cast their votes in a poll published on Friday (June 28), hosted by Billboard. They chose the BLACKPINK rapper, singer, and dancer’s new solo single as their favorite music release of the past week.

“Rockstar” garnered 73% of the votes in the poll, significantly outpacing new releases from Camila Cabello (C,XOXO), Megan Thee Stallion (Megan), Imagine Dragons (Loom), Kelsea Ballerini with Noah Kahan (“Cowboys Cry Too”), and others.

The single was released as part of a new partnership between RCA Records and LISA’s management company, LLOUD Co., which she founded earlier this year. The song had its first tease on TikTok earlier this month when LISA joined the social media platform, setting a Guinness World Record by gaining 1 million followers in just over two hours.

LISA co-wrote “Rockstar” alongside Brittany Amaradio, James Essien, Lucy Healey, Ryan Tedder, and Sam Homaee, with production credits going to Tedder and Homaee.

“​​Gold teeth sitting on the dash, she a rockstar/ Make your favorite singer wanna rap, baby, la la/ ‘Lisa, can you teach me Japanese?’ I said, ‘Hai hai’/ That’s my life life, baby I’m a rockstar,” LISA raps on the chorus.

The music video for “Rockstar” was shot in LISA’s native Thailand, taking over the streets of Bangkok. The video is dance-heavy and features Thai transgender influencers Chinnawat Promsri, Bruze Kachi-sarah, and Aëffy.

Trailing behind “Rockstar” on this week’s poll is the “other” category, which took in 16% of the vote. Following that, Camila Cabello’s fourth studio album, C,XOXO, received nearly 5% of the votes.
