TWICE‘s Jihyo is carving out a significant place in the K-pop history books, demonstrating a formidable presence in her second week on the Billboard charts. As she continues to break barriers, Jihyo is setting new standards for female K-pop soloists, showcasing a powerful and enduring impact on the global music scene.
Last week marked a monumental milestone in Jihyo’s career as she made her solo debut on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart, entering at an impressive No. 14. This achievement not only underscores her individual talent but also places her as the second female K-pop soloist to grace the top 100, following in the footsteps of her fellow TWICE member, Nayeon.
But Jihyo didn’t stop at her initial entry into the charts. She has further solidified her position as a leading female K-pop solo artist by maintaining a strong presence on both the Billboard 200 and Artist 100 charts for more than one week. This accomplishment is a testament to her growing influence, as she joins Nayeon in the exclusive club of female K-pop artists who have sustained multiple weeks on these prestigious charts.
As of the week ending on September 9, Jihyo’s influence continues to resonate strongly on the Billboard charts. She secured the 45th spot on the Artist 100, reflecting the ongoing success and popularity of her solo venture. Meanwhile, her debut mini-album “ZONE” holds steadfast on the Billboard 200, ranking at No. 89, a clear indication of its widespread appeal and acclaim.
Furthermore, “ZONE” has proven its mettle by maintaining a strong position on other Billboard charts. In its second week, the album clinched the 5th spot on the World Albums chart, while also securing notable rankings on the Top Current Album Sales and Top Album Sales charts, at No. 9 and No. 10 respectively. As Jihyo continues to ascend in her solo career, the global music community watches with anticipation, eager to witness the further heights she is bound to reach.
