Lisa’s “Priceless” with Maroon 5 ties Jung Kook’s “Seven” with seven weeks on Billboard’s Radio … More
When it comes to scoring hits on Billboard’s all-genre Radio Songs chart, Jung Kook stands as the most successful K-pop soloist, at least in terms of his total number of appearances. The BTS superstar has already landed on the tally three times under his solo name, and all of those tracks have managed historically-long stays – at least by K-pop artist standards at American radio.
As time goes on, some of his accomplishments have been matched — and even beaten — by other K-pop stars. Lisa, one of the four members of Blackpink, has bested one of Jung Kook’s runs on the Radio Songs tally and matched another one of his as her recent collaboration with Maroon 5, “Priceless,” continues to find space on the highly-competitive airplay ranking.
“Priceless” Climbs to a New Peak
“Priceless” inches up from No. 47 to No. 43 on the Radio Songs list this frame. That position marks a new all-time high for the track on the list of the biggest hits on American radio. Chart position is certainly important, but it’s the duration of the song’s stay that is especially significant at the moment.
Lisa Matches Jung Kook’s Chart Run
“Priceless” has now spent seven weeks on the Radio Songs chart. The cut matches Jung Kook’s “Seven,” a collaboration with rapper Latto, which fell off the list after a very fitting seven frames. At this point, “Priceless” and “Seven” are jointly tied as the fourth-longest-running hits by any K-pop soloist on the Radio Songs tally.
Lisa and Maroon 5 form one tie with the BTS singer as they break another. “Too Much,” a joint effort with The Kid Laroi and Central Cee, lasted six weeks before disappearing from the Radio Songs chart.
Rosé Holds the Record for Longest-Running Hit
The all-time record among K-pop soloists is held by “Apt.,” fronted by Blackpink’s Rosé alongside Bruno Mars. That composition jumps to No. 21 this frame and extends its lead to an incredible 33 weeks on the list.
Following “Apt.” is Psy’s viral smash “Gangnam Style,” which managed 13 frames more than a decade ago. “Left and Right,” a collaboration between Charlie Puth and Jung Kook, sits just one week behind that smash, with a 12-week run.
Another Week Could Break the Tie
“Priceless” will likely remain on the Radio Songs chart next week. If it manages to hold onto a spot in the top 50, Lisa will break her current tie with Jung Kook. Whether she can stretch the track’s life long enough to tie or surpass Jung Kook’s all-time longest-charting solo effort remains to be seen, but since “Priceless” hasn’t climbed very high on the roster, there’s a chance it could fall off in the near future.
