LISA and Rosalía‘s “New Woman” has topped this week’s new music poll that features artists in various genres of music.
Music fans voted in a poll published Friday (Aug. 16) on Billboard, choosing the BLACKPINK superstar and Spanish artist’s team-up as their favorite new music release of the past week.
“New Woman” brought in 54% of the vote on the poll, securing an edge ahead of new releases from Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars (“Die With a Smile”), Post Malone (F-1 Trillion), Foster the People (Paradise State of Mind), Hozier (Unaired), and others.
LISA and Rosalía’s Y2K-inspired single arrived Thursday (Aug. 15) with an equally colorful music video. “Hit it when I serve/ B—-, you better swerve/ Revving up my, uh-uh-uh-uh-aura/ Focus on my mind/ Taking my time/ I’m a new woman,” LISA declares on the catchy chorus.
For her verse, Rosalía adds a bilingual element musing, “Nací pura, sí/ Ni una era será un flop en mi porvenir/ P—, soy la Rosalía, solo sé servir,” which translates to “I was born pure/ There won’t be a flop era in my future/ W—-, I’m Rosalía, I only know how to serve.”
The new song arrives a little over a month after the K-pop icon stepped into a new phase of her solo career outside of BLACKPINK with “Rockstar,” which debuted at No. 70 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and No. 4 on the Billboard Global 200.
Trailing behind LISA and Rosalía on this week’s poll is Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile,” with nearly 36% of the vote. The superstars barely gave fans a heads up before unveiling the collab, the existence of which they only confirmed less than 12 hours ahead of its arrival.
It’s been a while since either artist has released proper solo music. Gaga’s last album, Chromatica, dropped in 2020, while Mars’ 24K Magic is approaching its eight-year anniversary. The former topped the Billboard 200 albums chart, and the second peaked at No. 2.
