It looks like Blackpink singer Lisa is about to score another big hit in America. The superstar’s latest solo offering “Rockstar” arrived very late on Thursday (June 27), and fans in the U.S. rushed to buy it–every version of it.

Five versions of “Rockstar” appear on the American iTunes chart. Just hours after they were released, all of the takes Lisa dropped are currently living inside the top 20, as of the time of writing.

Lisa followed a common release strategy in the U.S. these days and doled out several editions of the same cut. Billboard groups all versions of one title into a single charting entity, so all the sales and streams of various slightly altered editions of “Rockstar” will count toward the song rising on the charts in a few days.

The most popular version of “Rockstar” is the standard take, which is the one that will almost surely appear on the weekly Billboard rankings. Lisa also included an extended take, as well as instrumental, slowed down, and sped up editions of the same title on an EP of sorts.

At present, two versions of “Rockstar” sit inside the top 10 on the U.S. iTunes chart. The original single lands at No. 6, while the extended, longer take is two rungs down at No. 8.

The remaining three “Rockstar” songs aren’t far behind. The instrumental appears at No. 15, as of the time of writing. The slowed down and sped up releases sit side-by-side, landing at Nos. 17 and 18, respectively.

For the moment, “Rockstar” is a standalone single from Lisa. There has been no word yet of a full project coming from the singer, but that doesn’t mean she’s not working on more music.
