Jung Kook's solo career continues to soar as his latest single, 'Standing Next To You,' from his debut album 'Golden,' maintains its presence on several Billboard charts. The track has secured a spot on the Pop Airplay chart, which tracks the songs with the highest audience impressions on U.S. pop radio stations. Despite dropping from No. 27 to No. 37, the song's longevity on the chart is noteworthy.

'Standing Next To You' has now spent an impressive 15 weeks on the Pop Airplay chart, marking a significant achievement for the South Korean artist. This feat ties him for the third-longest-charting hit by a solo South Korean musician on the Pop Airplay chart.

In addition to his solo success, Jung Kook previously appeared on the Pop Airplay chart as a featured artist on 'Too Much' with The Kid Laroi and Central Cee, which also enjoyed a 15-week run on the chart. However, the record for the longest-charting hit by a South Korean solo artist on the Pop Airplay chart still belongs to Psy's 'Gangnam Style,' which spent 19 weeks on the chart over a decade ago.

Jung Kook's collaboration with Charlie Puth on 'Left and Right' also made waves on the Pop Airplay chart, securing 17 weeks on the list. With his consistent chart success and growing popularity, Jung Kook continues to make history in the music industry.
