Blackpink's Jennie has rapidly ascended from narrowly making it onto one Billboard chart to securing one of the most significant hits ever among South Korean musicians in just over a month. Her solo effort, "One of the Girls," a collaboration with Canadian R&B star The Weeknd, has now become a chart-topping sensation, breaking records on Billboard's Rhythmic Airplay chart.

The track, originally featured on The Weeknd's now-canceled TV show, The Idol, has demonstrated incredible staying power on the Rhythmic Airplay chart, maintaining its position for an impressive six weeks. This achievement places Jennie in a tie with global sensations BTS, matching their longest stay on the chart, achieved with the 2021 hit "Butter."

While Jennie and BTS currently share the third-longest-running hit by any South Korean musician on the Rhythmic Airplay chart, the future looks promising for the Blackpink star. "One of the Girls" has soared to a new high point at No. 17 in the current frame, indicating its potential to climb even higher in the weeks to come.

Notably, BTS member Jung Kook currently holds the record for the most weeks spent on the Rhythmic Airplay chart among South Korean musicians. His solo venture, featuring on The Kid Laroi's "Too Much" with Central Cee, has accumulated an impressive dozen weeks on the chart. Although currently at No. 37, the track continues to make waves, leaving the possibility of further chart success in its wake.

Psy, the renowned South Korean artist behind the viral sensation "Gangnam Style," secures the second spot among all South Korean stars in terms of Rhythmic Airplay longevity. His chart-topping hit spent an admirable 10 weeks on the roster over a decade ago.

Looking ahead, "One of the Girls" appears poised to make even more history on the Rhythmic Airplay chart. Its current position as the third-highest-rising track by a South Korean artist suggests the potential to surpass the all-time record of No. 13, held by Jung Kook's "Too Much." As the single continues to gain momentum, fans eagerly anticipate witnessing how much higher it can climb in the coming weeks, possibly solidifying Jennie's place among the Rhythmic Airplay chart's elite.
