If you are a fan of K-pop, you probably know who Lisa is. She is Thailand’s pride and one of the most famous Thai celebs in the world. She is also a member of the popular girl group BLACKPINK, which has been breaking records left and right with their catchy songs and stunning visuals.
But Lisa is not just a group member. She is also a solo artist who has made her mark with her debut single album LALISA, released in September 2021. The album features two songs: “Lalisa” and “Money”. Both songs showcase Lisa’s rap skills and charisma, but it is “Money” that has become a global phenomenon.
“Money” is a hip-hop song with boastful lyrics about spending money and being rich. The song has a laid-back horn beat that complements Lisa’s confident and playful delivery.
The song has also achieved impressive feats on the charts. It has peaked at number 10 on the Billboard Global 200 and number 7 on the Global Excl. U.S., becoming Lisa’s second top-ten hit and the longest-charting song by a K-pop soloist on both charts. It has also topped the US Rap Digital Song Sales chart and entered the top ten in several countries, including Malaysia, Singapore, India, Czech Republic, Hungary, and Slovakia.
One of the most remarkable achievements of “Money” is that it has become the most-streamed song on Spotify Thailand, surpassing 38.9 million streams as of June 2023. The song has dethroned the previous record holder, “Same Page” by Tilly Birds, which had 38.8 million streams. Now “Money” is not only the most-streamed song by a K-pop soloist on Spotify globally but also the most-streamed song by any artist on Spotify Thailand.
This is a huge milestone for Lisa, who was born and raised in Thailand before moving to South Korea to pursue her dream of becoming a K-pop star. She is the first and only Thai artist to debut as a soloist under YG Entertainment, one of the biggest K-pop agencies in the industry. She was also the first Thai and K-Pop solo artist to reach 1 billion streams on Spotify with her single album LALISA, which was awarded a Guinness World Record in 2023.
Lisa has proven that she is not only a talented rapper and dancer, but also a versatile and influential artist who can make history with her music. She has also shown her love and gratitude for her fans, who have supported her throughout her journey. She has dedicated her achievements to them and expressed her pride in representing her country on the global stage.
“Money” by Lisa is more than just a song. It is a symbol of Lisa’s success, hard work, and passion. And it is a source of inspiration and joy for millions of listeners around the world, who can relate to Lisa’s message of living life to the fullest and having fun with money.
