JENNIE's 'Fallen Angel' EP Wins Billboard's Fan Poll in a Landslide
JENNIE's digital EP Fallen Angel has won Billboard's weekly new-music fan poll with more than 82% of the vote, the outlet announced on 31 August 2026. The poll, which opened on Friday 28 August, asked readers to choose their favourite new release of the week from a shortlist that included Olivia Rodrigo, Ky-Mani Marley, Alex Warren and Alabama Shakes. JENNIE finished well ahead of all four. (Billboard)
The EP arrived on streaming platforms worldwide on 28 August via ODDATELIER and Columbia Records, released at 1:00 PM KST / 12:00 AM EDT. Columbia promoted the launch across its official social channels, and JENNIE's Weverse account confirmed the global release in advance. The digital version carries three songs: lead single 'Less Than a Lover,' the title track 'Fallen Angel,' and 'Heaven.' (Billboard)
A physical CD edition expands the release to six songs, adding 'Sweettooth,' 'Lockitdown,' and 'Face' — three tracks not available on streaming. CD orders are expected to ship on 30 October. The CD is sold through separate regional storefronts on JENNIE's official shop: one each for the US, the UK, the EU and Asia, with an Asia-exclusive alternate-cover version available through the Asia store.

The title track leans acoustic-pop and was released alongside what Billboard described as a dark and dreamy music video. Columbia has also teased that a track titled 'Fallen Angel's Prayer' is coming soon, though no date has been confirmed. (Billboard; Columbia Records on Facebook)
Fallen Angel is JENNIE's first solo collection since Ruby, her full-length solo debut released the previous year. JENNIE is a member of BLACKPINK, the K-pop group whose members have each pursued solo projects alongside their group activity. (Billboard)
For fans, the split between the three-song digital EP and the six-song CD means the physical edition is the only way to hear half the record's tracks — at least for now. The regional storefronts and Asia-exclusive cover also mean that what a fan receives depends on where they are ordering from.
