Lisa and Rose of Blackpink Fashion Similar Success in U.S. Radio Charts
For quite some time now, two remarkable solo artists from the renowned K-pop group Blackpink have been gracing the Billboard Pop Airplay list with their hits. Rose and Lisa have managed to keep their individual singles on this prestigious chart for an impressive span, and they're still going strong in the current week.
At the moment, "Apt." by Rose, featuring the legendary Bruno Mars, and "Moonlit Floor" by Lisa, have both clocked an impressive 16 weeks on the Pop Airplay chart. This remarkable feat has them tying for the third-longest-charting hits among solo K-pop musicians on this renowned list. Previously held by Jung Kook's "Standing Next to You," this record is evidence of the artists' enduring popularity and musical prowess.
Last week, Rose and Lisa shared a remarkable accolade with their bandmate Jennie, setting a new record for the longest-running hits ever by K-pop solo female artists on the Pop Airplay tally. Jennie's collaboration with The Weeknd, "One of the Girls," featuring Lily-Rose Depp, held the title with 15 consecutive weeks on the chart.
Although Rose and Lisa are well-known for their contributions to Blackpink, the global sensation in K-pop, it's important to note that neither artist hails from South Korea. Rose is originally from New Zealand, while Lisa comes from Thailand, yet their success within the K-pop genre is unequivocal, even when they branch out into other areas of music.
The remarkable feat accomplished by "Apt." and "Moonlit Floor" has only two other K-pop solo tunes outperforming them, both belonging to Jung Kook. "Gangnam Style" by Psy still holds the record with an astonishing 19 weeks on the chart, while "Left and Right," another hit by Jung Kook, featuring Charlie Puth, managed 17 weeks. It's plausible that "Apt." and "Moonlit Floor" will break their current tie in a matter of days, potentially matching "Left and Right" in the near future.
With "Apt." still reigning supreme at No. 1 on the Pop Airplay chart, another of Rose's singles is climbing the ladder. "Toxic Till the End," the latest focus track from her debut solo album "Rosie," is making its way up, now peaking at No. 28 in its fourth frame on the list.
Jennie also maintains her presence on the top 40 radio tally in this period. Although "Mantra" slips slightly, falling from its peak at No. 35 to No. 39, it still keeps its spot on the coveted 40-spot chart.
Looking beyond solo artists, there are three South Korean musical acts, famously known for their K-pop prowess, which have charted for longer on the Pop Airplay chart than Psy's "Gangnam Style." "Dynamite" and "Butter" by BTS, as well as "Cupid" by Fifty Fifty, all notched up a whopping 20 weeks on the highly competitive airplay ranking. This is a figure that Rose or Lisa, or perhaps both, could soon equal, potentially within a month.
