Fans Choose JENNIE’s Favorite New Music

Music charts are always shifting, but this week, one release didn’t just make a splash—it dominated the conversation. JENNIE’s wistful summer single, “Less Than a Lover,” has officially seized the crown in the latest new music poll.

Listeners tuned in to the results published by Billboard and voted overwhelmingly for the BLACKPINK singer’s fresh offering. The track, which launched alongside a visually stunning music video co-written by JENNIE herself, outperformed virtually every other new release submitted.

“Less Than a Lover” amassed a staggering 62% of the vote, setting a new benchmark for this week’s chart dominance. It edged out strong contenders from artists including KATSEYE, Macario Martinez, Tyla, Charli xcx, Fridayy, and Morgan Wallen.

The magic behind the song wasn’t just the melody; it was the visual storytelling. JENNIE and director Chooey crafted a music video that felt like a romantic short film set on the coast of Spain. In the clip, she is captured amidst a hazy heatwave, conveying a narrative about the desire to avoid responsibility while fully embracing the carefree joy of summer.

This aesthetic journey has already seen significant exposure. The song made its debut in excitement at New York City’s Governors Ball in June and subsequently became a staple on JENNIE’s summer festival setlist.

Following this massive success, the chart remains hotly contested. Other tracks vying for attention included KATSEYE’s “Animal,” Macario Martinez’s “Estar Sin Ti,” Tyla’s “A*Pop” album, and Charli xcx’s vibrant “Music, Fashion, Film” collection.

Whether it’s the laid-back energy of a summer anthem or a visually rich narrative, “Less Than a Lover” proves that sometimes, knowing what you want is the best way to enjoy the moment.
