Blackpink superstar Jennie has achieved a significant milestone in her music career, making history by debuting on Billboard's Radio Songs chart with her latest hit single, 'One of the Girls.' This accomplishment marks her first appearance on this prestigious chart, solidifying her position as one of the most successful solo musicians from South Korea.
Jennie joins an elite group of South Korean artists who have managed to break into the competitive Radio Songs chart. Prior to her, only two other solo musicians from the country have achieved this feat. The first was Psy, whose global sensation 'Gangnam Style' reached No. 12 on the chart over a decade ago, setting a high standard for South Korean artists in the international music scene.
Another notable soloist from South Korea who has made waves on the Radio Songs chart is Jung Kook, a member of the popular group BTS. Jung Kook has not only secured multiple placements on the chart but has also become the only solo artist from South Korea to achieve this milestone more than once.
In 2022, Jung Kook made his solo debut on the Radio Songs chart with the track 'Left and Right,' a collaboration with Charlie Puth that peaked at No. 28. Building on this success, he followed up with his solo single 'Seven' in 2023, featuring rapper Latto, which reached No. 43 on the chart.
Most recently, Jung Kook returned to the Radio Songs chart as a featured artist on the track 'Too Much' by The Kid Laroi, alongside Central Cee. This collaboration climbed to No. 38, further solidifying Jung Kook's position as a prominent figure in the global music industry.
