Jennie's 'Less Than a Lover' Tops iTunes in 27 Countries
no bc she woke up, released a single, and immediately went no. 1 on itunes in 27 countries like it was nothing. the girlies never stood a chance and honestly neither did i.
not to be dramatic at 9am but jennie really said 'watch this' and released 'less than a lover' on july 24 and the charts have not recovered since. mother is once again mothering and i am once again unwell.
within a day the single was sitting at no. 1 on itunes' top songs in more than 27 regions — philippines, indonesia, brazil, you name it. that's the most countries any k-pop soloist has topped with a single song all of 2026. ate. left zero crumbs. swept the floor with the crumbs.
and she didn't stop at itunes — the mv shot to no. 1 on youtube's worldwide trending music list AND grabbed the top trending spot in both korea and the u.s. over in china she casually locked no. 1 on qq music, netease cloud, and kugou, then landed at no. 2 on melon's hot 100 for good measure.
her label OA Entertainment put it plainly, calling it "the highest number of regions topped by any K-pop solo song" released in 2026. bestie. the way they said that with their whole chest.
anyway solo jennie remains undefeated and the rest of us remain on the floor. we are so back.
