LISA’s ‘Moonlit Floor’ Voted This Week’s Favorite New Music

LISA‘s “Moonlit Floor” has topped this week’s new music poll that features artists in various genres of music.

Music fans voted in a poll published Friday (Oct. 4) on Billboard, choosing the BLACKPINK singer’s new solo single as their favorite new music release of the past week.

“Moonlit Floor” brought in 96% of the vote on the poll, securing a very notable edge ahead of new releases from Coldplay (Moon Music), Finneas (For Cryin’ Out Loud!), the Joker: Folie à Deux soundtrack, James Bay (Changes All the Time), and others.

LISA dropped “Moonlit Floor” after she debuted it live at Global Citizen Fest in September. The swoon-worthy song interpolates Sixpence None the Richer‘s hit “Kiss Me,” which reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1998. The single was on the group’s self-titled album, released in 1997.

“Kiss me under the Paris twilight/ Kiss me out on the moonlit floor” the K-pop superstar sings in the ethereal chorus, replacing Sixpence None the Richer’s original lyric, “Kiss me beneath the milky twilight/ Lead me out on the moonlit floor.”

“Moonlit Floor” comes amid an exciting year for LISA, as the singer stepped into a new phase of her solo career outside of BLACKPINK with “Rockstar,” which debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard Global 200 and became her first-ever No. 1 hit on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. She also teamed up with Rosalía for a collaboration, “New Woman.” 

Trailing far behind LISA on this week’s poll is Coldplay’s Moon Music, which brought in nearly 2% of the vote. The British band’s Max Martin-produced 10th album features a variety of collaborations, including including Jon Hopkins, Little Simz, Burna Boy, Ayra Starr, Elyanna and TINI. Coldplay’s latest album is a continuation of the group’s 2021 effort, Music of the Spheres, which opened at No. 4 on the Billboard 200.
