The BLACKPINK icon blew away the competition in the latest weekly release round-up, taking home a blowout victory that left other major pop and indie contenders completely in the dust.

Her dominant win came against a stacked lineup of fresh weekend drops from high-profile artists across multiple genres. Competitors featured in the same weekly survey included Olivia Rodrigo, Alex Warren, Alabama Shakes, and Ky-Mani Marley. Yet none of those prominent acts could slow down the overwhelming momentum generated by the South Korean singer's latest era. Released through her own company ODDATELIER alongside Columbia Records, the short digital collection represents JENNIE’s first major solo project since she delivered her debut full-length record, *Ruby*, last year. The newly released bundle is led by her single "Less Than a Lover" and also includes an additional fresh cut titled "Heaven."

BUZZBEAT

To mark the release of the EP, the singer rolled out the acoustic-pop title track "Fallen Angel" on Friday, pairing the song with a dreamy, dark aesthetic music video. On the emotional track, JENNIE belts out moody lyrics pleading with a romantic partner to stick around and help transform whatever landing spot they find into a home. Beyond streaming the three new tracks online, super-fans can also look forward to holding a physical copy in their hands. Pre-orders have officially opened for a physical CD release of *Fallen Angel*, guaranteeing that the project will keep floating around music charts for weeks to come. With this latest landslide poll victory in her back pocket, the idol continues to show why she is a true global force on her own.
