SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA - MARCH 27: BLACKPINK Jennie attends the photocall for 'Saint Laurent by Anthony ... [+]
Blackpink singer Jennie is on a roll with her current single “One of the Girls,” which has turned out to be her biggest hit in the U.S. on her own. The tune, which is fronted by The Weeknd and which also features Lily Rose Depp, has been helping the K-pop superstar make history in many, many ways since it began debuting on Billboard charts months ago. Now, she can add one more record to her name.
“One of the Girls” is still improving on the Rhythmic Airplay chart, one of Billboard’s hip-hop and R&B-focused radio tallies. This week, the cut is up to a new high of No. 9, which is important to the singer–but so too is the length of time the smash has been able to find space on the ranking.
Jennie, The Weeknd, and Depp’s “One of the Girls” has now lived on the Rhythmic Airplay chart for 13 weeks, and that turns out to be the lucky number. With one more frame on the ranking, the cut has become the longest-charting of all time by any South Korean musician on this specific list.
Last week, Jennie was tied for this bit of history with another singer who broke out on his own and found great success after making his name in a K-pop group, Jung Kook. His single “Too Much” lived on the Rhythmic Airplay chart for 12 weeks, starting in late 2023.
Now, Jennie has passed Jung Kook, and she solely claims the longest-charting hit ever on the Rhythmic Airplay chart among South Korean acts. It seems like “One of the Girls” will be able to further distance itself from all other tracks by K-pop stars that have reached the tally, as it’s performing better than ever, and will likely hold on for at least several more weeks.
In addition to being the longest-charting song by a South Korean artist in the history of the Rhythmic Airplay chart, “One of the Girls” also breaks another record this week. The track is the first top 10 hit by any musician from the Asian country on this one list. Until only a few weeks ago, Jung Kook’s “Too Much”—which is powered by The Kid Laroi and which also credits Central Cee as a featured act–held that honor. It once rose as high as No. 13.
