BTS star Jungkook makes history as the longest-charting K-pop soloist on the Billboard Hot 100 in this decade as his track Standing Next To You was listed on the chart for the 17th consecutive week. On March 5, 2024, the title track from the musician's debut solo album GOLDEN pulled a draw with his own song; however, Left and Right is by Charlie Puth, which the BTS idol had featured.
Last week, the track tied with PSY's Gentleman as the longest-charting song by a K-pop soloist to rank for 16 straight weeks. Fans were ecstatic over the musician's latest victory as he became the K-pop artist to chart the longest in this decade on the Hot 100.
Meanwhile, the track charts at #87 on the Billboard Hot 100 after running for 17 weeks. The track opened at #5 on November 5, 2023, two days after it was released. It dropped to #50 the following week and then to #73; however, the song ranked at #81 last week before tying with Left and Right this week as the longest-charting song.
With another week on the chart, the track would surpass Left and Right and become the only song by a K-pop soloist to chart the longest.
