Blackpink singer Jennie Kim made headlines this week as her single 'One of the Girls' continued its impressive run on the Hot 100 chart. The track, featuring The Weeknd and Lily Rose Depp, has now spent 15 weeks on the chart, a significant achievement for a South Korean solo artist.

'One of the Girls' has now tied as the fourth-longest-charting hit in the history of the Hot 100 among tracks by South Korean solo musicians. It shares this position with hits like Psy's 'Gentleman' and Jung Kook and Latto's 'Seven,' both of which also spent 15 weeks on the chart.

While 'One of the Girls' has peaked at No. 51 on the Hot 100, it still has a way to go to surpass Psy's record for the longest-charting title by a South Korean solo artist. Psy's iconic 'Gangnam Style' holds the top spot with an impressive 31 weeks on the chart.

Jung Kook, another prominent South Korean artist, holds the second and third positions on the list of longest-running hits on the Hot 100. His songs 'Standing Next to You' and 'Left and Right,' a collaboration with Charlie Puth, spent 19 and 17 weeks on the chart, respectively.

As 'One of the Girls' begins to decline on the Hot 100, it faces the possibility of dropping off the chart entirely in the coming weeks. The influx of new tracks from artists like Metro Boomin, Future, and Beyoncé may impact the chart's dynamics, potentially opening up opportunities for older favorites like Jennie's 'One of the Girls' to make a resurgence.
