JENNIE's New EP 'Fallen Angel' Claims Overwhelming Victory in Weekly Music Poll
JENNIE's digital EP 'Fallen Angel' received more than 82% of votes in Billboard's latest new music poll, surpassing releases from Olivia Rodrigo, Ky-Mani Marley, and others. The project, led by the single 'Less Than a Lover,' also includes the title track and 'Heaven.' A physical CD version, shipping Oct. 30, adds three exclusive tracks.
The EP's digital release on Aug. 28 included three tracks, with the physical CD version expanding the collection to six songs through three exclusive additions. This release follows JENNIE's full-length solo debut album from the previous year, marking her second major solo project under her label partnership with Columbia Records.
The title track's accompanying music video features a dark, dreamy visual style, complementing the song's acoustic-pop sound. The EP's promotional rollout included a preorder period for the physical edition, with shipments scheduled for late October. The poll results placed the release ahead of several notable new projects from established artists across different genres.
This poll result could signal strong sustained engagement for JENNIE's solo career beyond her BLACKPINK foundation, potentially influencing how K-pop artists structure solo releases. The strategy of offering exclusive physical tracks may encourage collectors and dedicated fans to purchase CDs, possibly affecting how other artists approach album formats. The overwhelming vote margin could also shape industry perceptions of solo K-pop marketability, though poll participation reflects engaged fan bases rather than broader public opinion.
