Every week, Jennie, one of the four members of the band Blackpink, continues to make waves on the Billboard charts with her hit song 'One of the Girls.' This addictive tune has been steadily climbing the rankings for months and shows no signs of slowing down. In fact, it just reached another impressive milestone, breaking a record previously set by one of Jennie's groupmates.
'One of the Girls' has soared to a new high point, securing the No. 34 spot on this week's Pop Airplay chart. Billboard releases this 40-spot list based on the number of audience impressions tracks receive from pop radio stations across the United States. Last week, the song made its debut on the Pop Airplay chart at No. 40, making history in the process. However, it has now climbed even higher, achieving even more noteworthy accomplishments.
With its latest ascent, 'One of the Girls' now holds the distinction of being the second-highest-charting hit by any solo South Korean musician in the history of the Pop Airplay chart. It has surpassed the achievements of Alexa's 'Wonderland' and Lisa's 'Money,' which reached Nos. 38 and 35, respectively. Lisa, also a member of Blackpink, held the record until this week, making 'Money' the highest-rising hit on the Pop Airplay chart by any member of the group. Originally from Thailand, Lisa launched her music career in South Korea and is well-known for her K-pop tracks.
At present, only one track by a solo South Korean female musician has reached higher on the Pop Airplay chart. Bibi, featuring alternative artist 347aidan, climbed to No. 31 on the ranking with their collaboration 'The Weekend.' Given the impressive performance of 'One of the Girls,' it has the potential to match and even surpass that milestone within a week or so.
Released in June 2023, 'One of the Girls' took some time to gain momentum. However, it eventually became a viral hit and has been steadily making its presence known on various Billboard charts. The song, featuring The Weeknd and actor Lily Rose Depp, was created for the HBO show 'The Idol,' in which all three musicians starred. Its infectious melody and powerful vocals have captivated listeners, propelling it up the music charts.
As Jennie's solo career continues to flourish, her success with 'One of the Girls' serves as a testament to her talent and the global popularity of Blackpink. With each new achievement, she solidifies her place in the music industry and sets the stage for even greater heights to come. We can't wait to see what she accomplishes next!
