In February of this year, Jisoo became the final member of Blackpink to release a solo project. The singer dropped her *Amortage* EP on Valentine’s Day. However, despite the anticipation, the release was not a major commercial success in the United States.
Just a few months later, Jisoo returned with “Eyes Closed,” a collaboration with former One Direction star Zayn. This track proved to be a much stronger solo effort, earning her first wins on several Billboard charts and significantly improving her presence as a solo artist.
### “Eyes Closed” Debuts on Billboard’s Pop Airplay Chart
Less than a month after its release, “Eyes Closed” debuted at No. 38 on Billboard’s Pop Airplay chart. This ranking tracks the 40 songs with the largest total audience impressions across top 40 pop radio stations in the U.S. It is widely considered one of the most competitive and challenging airplay charts to enter, especially for pop music.
### Which Blackpink Member Has Scored the Most Pop Radio Hits?
Among Blackpink’s members, Lisa leads in terms of solo success on the Pop Airplay chart. She has placed five tracks under her own name on this chart. Three of these are purely solo songs — “Moonlit Floor (Kiss Me),” “Money,” and “Rockstar.” Additionally, Lisa has appeared as a featured artist on Doja Cat and Raye’s “Born Again” and on Maroon 5’s “Priceless.”
### Rosé and Jennie on Billboard’s Pop Radio Chart
Jennie and Rosé both have three appearances each on the Pop Airplay chart. Rosé’s track “Apt.,” a collaboration with Bruno Mars, stands out as one of only two K-pop songs to ever reach No. 1 on this chart. The other is “Golden” from KPop Demon Hunters, which achieved this milestone for the first time this week.
Rosé’s other solo hits include “On My Mind,” a collaboration with singer-songwriter Alex Warren, and “Toxic Till the End.” Jennie debuted on the Pop Airplay chart in February last year with “One of the Girls,” a collaboration featuring The Weeknd and Lily-Rose Depp. She later brought her solo hits “Mantra” and “Like Jennie” to the same roster.
### What Is Blackpink’s Biggest Radio Hit?
As a group, Blackpink has secured three entries on the Pop Airplay chart. Their most successful single to date is “Jump,” which peaked at No. 19 earlier this year and remained on the chart for 13 weeks, marking a new high for the band.
Blackpink first appeared on this chart about five years ago with “Ice Cream,” a collaboration with Selena Gomez. Two years later, “Pink Venom” returned them to the Pop Airplay tally.
### Zayn Adds Another Radio Smash to His Catalog
Zayn has now earned his eighth solo hit on the Pop Airplay chart. “Eyes Closed” represents his lowest peak so far, trailing behind hits like “Love Like This” and the popular “Dusk Till Dawn” featuring Sia. However, the track has potential to climb higher in the coming weeks.
Almost a decade ago, Zayn scored two weeks at No. 1 with his breakout solo hit “Pillowtalk.” During his time with One Direction, the group accumulated 13 charting hits, with four breaking into the top tiers of the charts.
### Jisoo and Zayn Join Raye and Laufey on the Pop Radio Chart
This week, only three new songs debuted on the Pop Airplay chart. Jisoo and Zayn’s “Eyes Closed” claimed the second-highest debut at No. 38. Raye’s new single, “Where Is My Husband!,” opened at No. 34, while Laufey’s “Lover Girl” started just one spot below “Eyes Closed” at No. 39.
### “Eyes Closed” Earns Jisoo Multiple Billboard Firsts
The success of “Eyes Closed” has brought Jisoo several career milestones. It marked her first solo appearance on the Billboard Hot 100, debuting at No. 72. Additionally, the song reached No. 10 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart, her highest position yet on that list.
While “Eyes Closed” did not quite break into the top tier of the more comprehensive Billboard Global 200 chart, it remains present on both charts three weeks after release, even though it has dropped significantly since its debut.

Jisoo’s growing achievements as a solo artist, bolstered by the success of “Eyes Closed,” demonstrate her ability to secure hits independently, solidifying her individual presence alongside the continued success of Blackpink and her fellow members.
