The BLACKPINK member's second advance single from her first full solo studio album also reached No. 1 on iTunes song charts in 28 regions, according to her agency, BLISSOO. It topped the iTunes Worldwide Song Chart and YouTube's Worldwide Trending and Global Daily Top Music Videos rankings, extending its early reach beyond the regional video charts.
ADDICTED brings together a darker visual concept, a dance pop arrangement built around Jisoo's lower register and a rap passage. Jisoo participated in writing the lyrics, continuing a growing role in shaping her solo recordings. Choreographer Lee Jung created the choreography.
The release follows CLICK, which arrived in September, and comes ahead of a planned return to Korean television music shows. Together, the recordings present two different sides of the album project: CLICK's bright romantic energy and ADDICTED's more intense depiction of attraction.
From 5.5 million views to 16.3 million
YouTube provided the most immediate measure of the video's reception. Its appearance on trending charts across 81 countries and regions showed how widely the release spread, while the 23 regional No. 1 positions identified where it reached the top of those lists.
The later total of 16.3 million views was nearly three times the initial milestone of 5.5 million. Those figures capture different stages of the launch, from the first hours online to the fourth day after release. The video also reached the top of YouTube's global daily music video ranking, alongside its worldwide trending position.
Views and chart positions describe different parts of that response. The view count records accumulated watching, while a chart position places the video against others within a particular ranking. For readers following the launch, the useful detail is that ADDICTED combined a rising total with top positions on both regional and worldwide lists.
Where the song landed beyond YouTube
BLISSOO said ADDICTED reached No. 1 on iTunes song charts in 28 regions before topping the worldwide song chart. CLICK had entered that worldwide ranking at No. 3 in September, giving the new single a higher reported position on the same chart.
Apple Music placed ADDICTED on its Top Songs charts in 15 regions. On Spotify, it entered the Daily Top Songs Global chart at No. 195 on the chart dated October 30. That exact position adds detail to the broader picture: the song reached Spotify's global daily list while securing chart leadership on iTunes.
China's QQ Music recorded three No. 1 positions, covering digital sales, rising popularity and sharing activity. Each measures a different action, from buying music to increasing attention and circulating it among users.
The figures show a release reaching audiences through several routes. YouTube supplied the largest public viewing milestones, iTunes recorded regional chart wins, and Apple Music, Spotify and QQ Music added evidence of listening and purchasing activity across other services.
How ADDICTED changes the sound
ADDICTED is a dance pop song that moves between a funky rhythm and trap beats. Its subject is the sweet, dizzying pull of falling in love, with Jisoo moving between a firm lower register and higher vocal lines.
A lightning sound effect opens the track. Electric bass helps establish the opening rhythm, while the chorus uses deep 808 bass, kick drum, claps and hi-hats. An 808 is an electronic bass or drum sound often used to give pop and hip hop a deep, pulsing foundation.
The relatively spare arrangement leaves room for Jisoo's voice. Layered vocals add texture, while a more conversational delivery brings her husky lower tones forward. The rap passage introduces another change in delivery, combining quicker phrasing with a restrained tone.
Production credits include Jack Brady and Jordan Roman, who have worked on her earlier material. The production team also includes collaborators with experience on recordings by Rihanna and Beyoncé. Those credits connect the single with established pop production while retaining people familiar with Jisoo's previous work.
A darker video with water, lace and changing identities
The ADDICTED video develops a cat motif through a headband with cat ears, smoky eye makeup and black lace. Water scenes and an underwater solo dance sequence give the performance a different setting from the bright, playful atmosphere associated with CLICK.
Jisoo moves through several distinct looks: a black bob wig with a red dress, wet hair, a pink wig and a sheer outfit. Crystal nails, pink satin, glitter and dramatic lighting add further changes in texture and colour.
The variety matters to the album campaign because BLISSOO had said the two advance singles would present different musical concepts. CLICK and ADDICTED now provide both an audible and a visible contrast, rather than simply offering two recordings with similar presentation.
The darker finished video also follows the storm imagery used before release. Earlier promotional artwork featured purple clouds and a heart shaped around a lightning motif. The opening sound effect and dramatic lighting carry that atmosphere into the song and video.
Jisoo takes a larger writing role
Jisoo is credited as a lyricist on ADDICTED. Her participation places her inside the writing process as well as at the centre of the performance, continuing a progression that includes AMORTAGE and her collaboration with Zayn.
For AMORTAGE, released in February 2025, she took part across the production process, including writing album tracks and shaping the music video concept and cover. The EP's main single, earthquake, was also the focus of her previous round of solo promotion on Korean music shows.
In October 2025, Jisoo co-wrote and co-composed EYES CLOSED with British singer Zayn. The collaboration became her first entry on the US Billboard Hot 100. With that entry, BLACKPINK became the first girl group whose four members had each reached the Hot 100 as solo artists.
Her solo recording career began with FLOWER in March 2023, which reached No. 2 on the Billboard Global 200. She established BLISSOO the following year. ADDICTED now extends that sequence through another writing credit and a second preview of a full studio album.
The release timeline
October 30, 2026, was the release date set during the campaign and identified by BLISSOO in its subsequent chart update. The single arrived at 8 a.m. Korean Standard Time, with the music video released alongside it.
The campaign moved from an announcement to two measurable stages of audience response within less than two weeks:
- September 2026: CLICK arrived as the first advance single from Jisoo's debut solo studio album.
- October 24: BLISSOO announced ADDICTED and its October 30 release schedule.
- October 30: ADDICTED and its video were released. The video passed 5.5 million views within hours, and the song entered Spotify's global daily chart at No. 195.
- November 2: BLISSOO detailed the single's chart results, including No. 1 positions in 28 iTunes regions.
- November 3: The video had reached 16.3 million views, four days after release.
The October 24 announcement also introduced Jisoo's official solo light stick, designed as a purple and white illuminated ice cream cone. Its scheduled October 26 sales opening gave the campaign a separate fan merchandise event before the song arrived.
Television performances and Rosé's dance appearance
Jisoo was scheduled to perform ADDICTED on Korean television music shows during the week of the chart updates. The appearances would mark her return to domestic solo music show promotion about one year and nine months after earthquake.
Lee Jung's choreography will give that next phase a clear performance focus. The video has already introduced the song's visual identity; television stages will bring its dance routine into a different setting.
Rosé also joined the promotion through a short dance video posted by Jisoo on Saturday. Her unannounced appearance connected the solo release with a familiar BLACKPINK partnership. Jisoo followed with Halloween themed challenge content, adding another variation on the song's darker imagery.
The full album's release date, title and track list have not been announced in these updates, and the planned television performances were described without a named programme or exact broadcast date. The next announced step is the music show promotion, with CLICK and ADDICTED already establishing the album campaign's contrasting styles.
The Bottom Line
- ADDICTED entered YouTube trending charts in 81 countries and regions, reaching No. 1 in 23.
- The video passed 5.5 million views within hours and reached 16.3 million after four days.
- BLISSOO said the song topped iTunes charts in 28 regions and the worldwide song chart.
- The track entered Apple Music charts in 15 regions and Spotify's global daily chart at No. 195, while topping three QQ Music rankings.
- Jisoo helped write the lyrics, with Lee Jung creating the choreography.
- Korean music show performances are the next planned stage of promotion ahead of her first full solo studio album.
