Jung Kook's latest single from his debut solo album Golden, 'Standing Next to You,' is gradually descending on various Billboard charts. The track has been slipping in rankings for several weeks and is expected to drop from at least one more chart in the near future. Despite its decline, 'Standing Next to You' is still managing to secure a spot on the Pop Airplay chart this week, holding on at No. 39 out of 40 positions.
Remarkably, the song has now spent a total of 16 weeks on the Pop Airplay chart, surpassing two of Jung Kook's previous hits. This achievement places 'Standing Next to You' as the third-longest-running track by a South Korean solo artist in the history of the Pop Airplay chart. Previously, it was tied with '3D' and 'Too Much,' both charting for 15 weeks.
If 'Standing Next to You' remains on the chart for another week, it will climb higher on the all-time list, surpassing Jung Kook's collaboration with Charlie Puth, 'Left and Right,' which stayed on the chart for 17 weeks. The record for the most weeks on the Pop Airplay chart by a South Korean solo artist is currently held by Psy's 'Gangnam Style,' which spent 19 weeks on the chart.
While it may not reach the same longevity as 'Gangnam Style,' the continued presence of 'Standing Next to You' on the Pop Airplay chart showcases Jung Kook's enduring popularity and success in the music industry. Fans eagerly await to see how much longer this smash hit will maintain its position on the charts.
