Blackpink singer Jennie has released two solo singles this year, both as a featured artist on songs by other musicians. Despite not reaching the success of her breakout smash from 2023, her latest release “One of the Girls” has seen notable success on the Pop Airplay chart in America, rising to a new peak of No. 18 this week. This achievement places Jennie among the top five highest-charting tracks by a South Korean solo artist in the history of the Pop Airplay chart.
Having surpassed Jung Kook’s “3D” on the chart, Jennie’s hit now sits in fifth place on the list, with the highest-charting song by a South Korean solo artist still being Psy’s “Gangnam Style” at No. 10. Jung Kook follows closely behind with the next three highest-charting tracks, showcasing his rapid rise in popularity at pop radio in the U.S. His collaborations with Charlie Puth and The Kid Laroi reached No. 11 and No. 15 respectively, while his song with Latto peaked at No. 17.
With the potential for “One of the Girls” to climb even higher on the chart, Jennie could soon match or even surpass the success of Jung Kook’s “Seven.” The continuous advancement of her latest single suggests that she may rewrite the record for the highest-charting song by a South Korean solo artist on the Pop Airplay chart in the near future. As Jennie continues to make waves in the music industry as a solo artist, her impact and influence are becoming more apparent on a global scale.
The success of “One of the Girls” not only highlights Jennie’s individual artistry and talent but also marks a significant milestone for South Korean solo artists on the Pop Airplay chart. With each new peak and achievement, Jennie is breaking barriers and paving the way for more representation and recognition of Asian artists in the music industry. As she continues to push boundaries and redefine expectations, Jennie’s impact as a solo artist is undeniable, and her contributions to the global music scene are becoming increasingly influential.
As Jennie’s star continues to rise, her presence on the Pop Airplay chart solidifies her status as a prominent figure in the music industry. With each new milestone and accomplishment, she not only reinforces her position as a top artist but also opens doors for other Asian artists to showcase their talents and reach new heights on a global scale. Jennie’s success with “One of the Girls” is a testament to her artistry, perseverance, and dedication to her craft, setting the stage for even bigger achievements in the future.
