Blackpink singer Jennie Kim's single 'One of the Girls' has proven to be a resilient hit, maintaining its presence on the Billboard charts for over six months and continuing to climb. The track has now become only the sixth song by a South Korean solo musician to spend at least 10 weeks on the prestigious Hot 100 chart, rising to a new peak of No. 51.
Achieving double-digit weeks on the Hot 100 is a significant milestone for any artist, indicating sustained interest from the American audience. This accomplishment is particularly rare among solo artists from South Korea, with Jennie being just the third solo South Korean musician to achieve this feat and the first woman to do so.
The record for the longest-charting song by a South Korean soloist belongs to Psy with his global hit 'Gangnam Style,' which spent an impressive 31 weeks on the Hot 100. Following closely behind, Jung Kook's 'Standing Next to You' and 'Left and Right' have both charted for 17 weeks, tying for second place.
Other notable entries on the list include Psy's 'Gentleman' and Jung Kook's collaboration with Latto on 'Seven,' each spending 15 weeks on the Hot 100. With 'One of the Girls' still gaining momentum, it is poised to remain on the chart for an extended period, potentially surpassing the current records set by South Korean soloists.
As the song continues its ascent, it is likely to secure another month on the Hot 100, further solidifying Jennie's position among the longest-charting hits by South Korean solo musicians. The future trajectory of the track remains uncertain, but its enduring popularity suggests a promising outlook for its chart performance.
