On this week's edition of the Pop Airplay chart, Billboard’s ranking of the tunes that reach the largest audience at pop radio in the U.S., Taylor Swift continues to reign with her new hit, “Cruel Summer,” claiming the No. 1 spot. Following closely behind, another rising track is making its mark in history.

Fifty Fifty's track "Cupid" is once again soaring on the Pop Airplay chart, reaching a new peak at No. 7. The song has been steadily climbing the ranks over the past few months, solidifying its presence on the competitive list. In achieving this milestone, "Cupid" now matches the success of one of the most triumphant tracks ever produced by a South Korean musical group.

“Cupid” has now tied as the second-highest-charting song by a South Korean musical act in the history of the Pop Airplay chart, securing the No. 7 spot. This achievement places it on par with BTS's hit "Butter," which also reached No. 7 in 2021.

In the upcoming weeks, "Cupid" has the potential to continue its ascent, and if it manages to climb just one more spot, it will claim the title of the second-highest-charting track by South Korean artists in the history of the Pop Airplay chart. This would cause "Butter" to slide to third place, reshaping the all-time ranking list.

Currently, the record for the highest-charting song by a South Korean musical act on the Pop Airplay chart is held by BTS. Over the years, they have occupied the top two positions on this list. However, they now share this distinction with Fifty Fifty. The group's megahit "Dynamite" exploded onto the chart, reaching an impressive No. 5.

“Cupid” is one of only four top 10 hits on the Pop Airplay chart by South Korean musicians. Alongside BTS's "Dynamite" and "Butter," there's also Psy's iconic “Gangnam Style.” This unexpected sensation emerged over a decade ago, predating the widespread popularity of K-pop in the United States, and managed to reach No. 10 on the chart, leaving a lasting mark in music history.
